Since MAME uses software to utilize 3D graphics, do 3D arcade games (i.e Tekken or Soul Edge) also work? If so do you get a decent frame-rate?

[efaustus9]

@18CaStRaDoMiS89 some 3d games may work but the frame rate would be so bad that the games would be unplayable.

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

@efaustus9

I've seen someone run Bloody Roar 2 on MAME and it ran at about between 15-30 fps (better than I thought but annoying to try and play).

BTW what would you suggest YDL,Ubuntu,or Fedora for PS3. I've heard Fedora is the most popular while Ubuntu had the best functions and YDL had the best compatibility.

[efaustus9]

@18CaStRaDoMiS89 Both Ubuntu and YDL are good distros for the ps3. I prefer YDL myself for the ps3.

i am on ofw 3.56 will it work???

[ennis2k6]

So that mean if I have firmware 3.50 it's a wrap?

[ennis2k6]

So these Emulators won't work on firmware 3.50?

[cosmicgate07]

and youp lay with controller right?

[HardKore5250]

Can you play NBA Showtime and Killer Instinct on full speed?

@jamesf111 - You mean Sony banning you from PSN??? No, there's no hacking involved (as long as you haven't updated the firmware past v3.15).

[oo1o11oa]

Marvel Vs. Street Fighter.

The very reason why I made the Mame on PS3 search.

You sir, know about gaming.

@ryougadeka I am using an HDMI cable and I installed YDL at a resolution of 720p. The set used in this video is a 1080i HD CRT TV. They are not really mass produced anymore but they do exists. The quality of the emulators is generally good as long as you are emulating systems before the PSONE generation. There is no gpu acceleration in ps3 linux so 3D based systems are mostly unplayable.
