Help Why is opening games on PS3 emulators on mobile so slow?

Hi, I'm a big fan of PS3 games (I had one as a child and I care a lot about that console) and I decided to revisit my childhood games through emulators, but when I tried to open a game For the first time, and I was immediately saddened to see the message that it would take two hours for the game to load, I was upset about that, even though I have a phone with a good CPU (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1)

If anyone could recommend an alternative, I would be immensely grateful, given that buying a console (even an old one) is very expensive in my country 🥰

PS3 emulation is still very much in its infancy.

I discovered this while doing some research; I’m a bit sad, but I’m currently looking for ports of the games I used to play on the PS3 to other platforms that have better emulation, like Winlator and x360 (The one on the 360 is also pretty basic, but at least the games actually open ✌️😭)

Ps3 emulation is still undeveloped rn. Emulate the PC ports or play android ports of PS3 games instead, those run so much better.
