Mainly, the PS3 where at present no PS3 games can run on the PS4 natively.<\/p>\n<p>Very recently, both a PS3 PC emulator which uses DirectX 12 (DX12) and a Wii U PC emulator have made some extraordinary progress when it comes to game emulation.<\/p>\n<p>Exzap\u2019s WiiU emulator called\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cemu.info\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cemu<\/a>\u00a0is running <em>Mario Kart 8.<\/em> Considering this is the first public\u00a0build of the emulator released back in October this is quite amazing.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0L9zoMyHX-U\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The emulation is not perfect yet but there is definitely a lot of potential here.\u00a0However, the only downside is you&#8217;ll need a rig with these specs to run Wii U games:\u00a0an overclocked i7-4790K and a GTX 980.<\/p>\n<p>But most importantly, what you&#8217;re all probably interested in is the PS3 emulator.<\/p>\n<p>The emulator is the DX12 version of the <a href=\"http:\/\/rpcs3.net\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">RPCS PS3 emulator<\/a>. There has been a great deal of progress with this emulator as there are a number\u00a0PS3 titles working on the emulator.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the games that are working very well include\u00a0<em>Silent Hill 3<\/em> and <em>After Burner: Climax<\/em>. Although games like\u00a0<em>Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit\u00a0<\/em>are having issues, so the emulator is not totally perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Check out some of the games in action below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mXUWZ-jPtqw\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/osHxdRZ5_Oo\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y6vysVDQJjQ\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It appears that emulation for both the Wii U and PS3 have come a long way indeed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty frustrating that the PS4 doesn&#8217;t have true backwards compatibility for PS3 games and that the Xbox One is getting a growing library of playable Xbox 360 games.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the latest PS3 and Wii U emulators?<\/p>\n<p>We think there&#8217;s still a way to go. If you have a powerful rig, this could possibly be a great way to play all your\u00a0PS3 games.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/wccftech.com\/ps3-dx12-pc-wii-u-pc-emulation-made-incredible-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\">WCCFTech<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>More On PlayStation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to PS4 requires processing box for PlayStation VR to work: probably won\u2019t be cheap\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/ps4\/84561-ps4-requires-processing-box-for-playstation-vr-to-work-probably-wont-be-cheap.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">PS4 requires processing box for PlayStation VR to work: probably won\u2019t be cheap<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Get the PlayStation Christmas deal #4theplayers\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/ps4\/84479-get-the-playstation-christmas-deal-4theplayers.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Get the PlayStation Christmas deal #4theplayers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to PlayStation Plus subscribers, stop complaining about the instant game collection\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/columns\/84473-playstation-plus-subscribers-stop-complaining-about-the-instant-game-collection.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">PlayStation Plus subscribers, stop complaining about the instant game collection<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, we&#8217;re finally getting somewhere! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":84735,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[16765,12079,16763,11972,13439,1969,15399,16759,1853,16767,1399,16761,10065],"class_list":["post-84733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-cemu","tag-directx-12","tag-dx12","tag-emulation","tag-emulator","tag-news-2","tag-ps3","tag-ps3-emulator","tag-playstation4","tag-rpcs","tag-wii-u","tag-wii-u-emulator","tag-xbox-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
