Most light guns work as a mouse type device with a particular format of input calles raw or absolute. The important thing is how the emulator converts the input from the light gun and sends that to the game. I had initially hoped that it might be possible to play with a light gun type device such as the Aimtrak lightgun. The other thing to consider is how you play these games.

One thing to note is that I’m only including dedicated light gun games of a rails nature. I think there are a few others but this is a good list of my favorites. Here is the list of games that I will be testing. The emulator is constantly being worked on so the specs needed to play PS3 games drops all the time and I can always upgrade if it works so I will be coming back to this at some point later with more power to see how that affects things.įirst things first – which games are available? The PS3 had a decent number of light gun games on it for a console. That’s ok because all I really wanted to do here was see if the games were playable at all and I was able to do that. It will start the games and run them to a varying degree but the frame rates make it unplayable. I found that my current PC can’t really handle it. It’s a demanding emulator so even using it at all needs a reasonable machine and graphics card and upscaling will need something even better. RPCS3 can upscale and improve them even more so that some of the games can be hard to distinguish from more recent releases on newer consoles. With that in mind, I thought it would be worth having a look at the emulator and seeing if it’s possible to play the games that are available.īecause the PS3 is one of the more modern consoles, it has excellent graphics and 720p output by default. Some worked with the Guncon 3 controller and all of them worked with the PS Move controller. There are also a lot more that can be started but are only playable to a certain extent and some others that don’t work at all. As far as I know, it’s the only serious PS3 emulator in the works and for the most part, it’s pretty amazing.Ī large number of games are playable from start to finish (although normally with a few glitches).
