I still have a collection of cherry-picked PS3 games I kept so that I could play them one day, upscaled and potentially at better performance than the PS3 was capable of.
Despite having hardware that could now play those better than a PS3 using this emulator, I can't get the games from the discs; When my OG 60GB PS3 died I disposed of it and got a slim, which also died, so I bought a new slim, which as far as I can tell now can't/hasn't been hacked, so there's no way to dump my disks.
I wasn't too lucky with PS3s to have had so many; I _still_ have my original childhood PS1, sold both my PS2s (OG and Satin Silver) to fund other purchases as a kid, gave away my PS4 to my nephew (who tore it down and couldn't reassemble it) when I got PS5. Same generation as PS3, my 360 also died.
