Title: MAME for PS3 Can someone please give me the "rundown" on this
Post by: pharoah007 on August 01, 2011, 10:58:49 pm

So I hear that MAME has made its way to the PS3.   this sounds EXCELLENT as the PS3 is a powerhouse in terms of computing power and shoul be able to run all MAME games well.

So what is the deal, do I need to Mod/hack/crack my PS3 in order to do this (run MAME) or can it be done with a stock off the shelf PS3 slim?

Thanks all.

you need to jailbreak it/custom firmware , that requires official firmware 3.55 or less

And once you do it, laying your fat ass on that big leather couch and playing on your gigantic flatscreen is going to trump playing it on a MAME cabinet every single time.

Trust me, I know.

I agree. Would you say the MAME PS3 experience is better than on a PC hooked up to that same gigantic flatscreen?
