Can a PS3 console made into a Recalbox gaming station?

[wattaman]

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

Hello,

PS3 is a closed system. Recalbox not compatible.

@wattaman hi, its nothing to do with how powerful the hardware is tbh.
Recalbox, like Batocera and Retropie can only run on Linux based systems.
Below is the only supported hardware:

You'll need to hack the console to install homebrew

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