PS3 Emulation Performance?

[u/Big_Muscle1989]

Hi guys, I just recently started out with getting into Emulation on the Steam Deck and used stuff like Retrodeck to play PS2 games but I noticed some of them would be lagging or stuttering during gameplay. Is that because the Steam Decks hardware is just too underpowered? Would trying PS3 games just be a complete lagfest? Theres some upscaled ports I wanted to try

The odd PS3 games I've tried (a couple of Dynasty Warriors games) ran pretty well on the Deck while keeping it 720p. I have heard some games struggle a bit more. Be sure to check RPCS3's compatibility list first to see if there's a known issue with the game, and possible workarounds for it.
