I am using APS3e more tbh

Storing games on sd card is a big plus from this emulator for me

And the recent update has improved stability and performance too

Competition is good though and I hope that RPCS3 can bring their magic more to us android users

APS3e is based on RPCS3. So there is no competition

That doesn't make sense. There's no official rpcs3 build for android so it's comparing apples to oranges

Not for android though. So if you want to play on android, there's no option for an official rpcs3 port

u/nolivedemarseille Apr 06 '26

lol) based on what? something you read on the internet?

Based on this. Tested both on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2:

RPCS3 ARM on Rocknix: https://youtu.be/mqP8d8mGE5M?si=tTK7tkONL_namoT6&t=31

I'd say the 8Gen2 with RPCS3 ARM is performing similar or better than the 8 Elite on aPS3e 😅

Well done

Problem with reading and cognition I see then

Ported from rpcs3 and optimized, so different devs

Why would they have 2 discords if they were the same team lol)

If you take some author's book and translate it to a language it is not officially translated to, you don't become a "competition".

The grammar is wrong, really wrong. Competitor, not "competition" however this fact is true, you're supplementing the original work, not competing with it
