First PS3 game running on emulator

Fri, 07 Mar 2014 9:20 AMIt looks like the first commercial PlayStation 3 title is running on an emulator.
A YouTube video posted to reddit shows little-known PS3 title Arkedo Series running on the RPCS3 emulator.
The initial clip showed a ridiculously low framerate as well as a number of graphical glitches.
However, a new video posted hours after the first one shows far fewer glitches, although the low framerate is still understandably intact.
It's not the first 7th-generation videogame console to receive the emulation treatment - with the Dolphin emulator capable of playing back Nintendo Wii titles.
However, the PlayStation 3 was widely expected to be a difficult machine to emulate, owing to its exotic hardware, such as the powerful Cell chip and seven "synergistic processing units".
