Hello !
The PS3 has a CPU clocked at 3.2 GHz which represents a lot of computing power.
The question I ask myself is: why there is no Flycast core for emulating the Dreamcast & the Naomi system on the version of RetroArch for PS3 ?
Same for MAME, why does the “curent” version not exist ?
Greetings 
Even though the clockspeed is high, the effective strength is more in line with a Pentium 3 ~800 mhz. I believe this is the main reason mame-current isn’t available. It’s just a lot more demanding than the old forks, and most of the added accuracy and compatibility is cancelled out by the limited performance.
Flycast is a much simpler situation: it needs OpenGL.
Thanks for your response so I have to understand that Dreamcast emulation will never be possible on PS3 ?
Not unless it gets usable hardware acceleration first.
OK & for other cores like Open Lara or those for the NEC PC 8800 & NEC PC 98 for exemple ?
They also use OpenGL ? The PS3 would be a very good retro gaming console too bad it lacks a lot of cores !
Open Lara, yes. The others should be software rendered. Dunno why they’re not included. Possibly just an oversight.
No answer ?! I said something wrong ?!
No, I just didn’t see it.
We don’t distribute the PS3 version anymore due to it needing to be compiled with Sony’s proprietary SDK. There should be a “community edition” floating around the internet somewhere, though.
I can’t find anything unfortunately… what are the key words to use ? Thanks
retroarch ps3 community edition
Hello I downloaded RetroArch Community Edition in pkg format but the OpenLara core is not available… I don’t know what to do ?
Hello no response ?!
Correct. OpenLara requires OpenGL, which the PS3 doesn’t support.
Just as a point of clarification: In case you misunderstood, I believe when you asked
And @hunterk responded
I believe that was meant to be read as “Yes, Open Lara uses OpenGL (and therefore won’t work on PS3)” not, as I think you may have interpreted, “Yes, Open Lara should work.”
Feel free to ignore me if I’m assuming incorrectly.
