<![CDATA[Can a PS3 console made into a Recalbox gaming station?]]>In other words, before I'll probably brick my old PS3, is there possible to install the Recalbox on a PS3 console?

I am already using a Raspberry Pi 4 with Recalbox and it runs fine, but I also have this PS3 lying around useless. I reckon the hardware on PS3 is much more powerful than R Pi 4, so if possible I'd rather install Recalbox on the PS3, and make the PS3 console into a retro gaming machine.

Thank you.

PS obviously noob here, please don't serve a 100 pages tutorial 🙂

honestly not worth it, just sell it and by a Pi5 or Mini PC

Recalbox, like Batocera and Retropie can only run on Linux based systems.
Below is the only supported hardware:

PS3 is a closed system. Recalbox not compatible.
