The Physical Revolution on Jailbroken PS5s Now Has People Emulating PS3 Discs

Roughly three days ago, coder Swordpdf unveiled PS5SX2: a vibecoded port of the PCSX2 emulator, which allows users to emulate PS2 games on jailbroken PS5s by using physical PlayStation 2 discs. Today, they’ve unveiled RPS5S3, which allows jailbroken PS5s to do exactly the same thing with physical PS3 discs.

Swordpdf showed off the RPS5S3 emulator earlier this morning in a post on X. As you can quite clearly see in the video featured in their post, Swordpdf boots up Gran Turismo 5 after inserting a physical copy of the PS3 game into their PS5’s disc tray.

However, unlike Swordpdf’s previous project, this isn’t currently available for download through GitHub. In fact, it’s not even technically finished, as the latest version of the emulator on the PS5SX2 Discord is titled “RPS5S3 Test Build 3.”

This means that we also don’t have a corroborated list of PS3 titles that work with RPS5S3. Thankfully, we do have some idea of which titles are RPS5S3 compatible, as a post on the PS5SX2 Discord states that Grand Theft Auto IV, God of War: Ascension, LittleBigPlanet, inFamous, and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift are the emulator’s “most played games.”

First PS2 discs. Now PS3 discs.
The PS5 is slowly becoming the PlayStation it should've been. 🎮

As the name might imply, RPS5S3 is seemingly a fork of the RPCS3 emulator, which allows PS3 games to be emulated on PC.
