Comment on I just tried RPCS3 for the first time since the big update. LBP is now playable on Deck

  Some of us don’t even know what RCPS3 is, so LBP could have been anything.

    RPCS3 is the name of the emulator. It’s an acronym but I don’t suppose anyone knows or uses it off the top of their head. Like MAME, also an acronym AFAIK (as far as I know), no idea what It means, the acronym is the name of the emulator. So not really initialism.

    I don’t think RCPS3 has a proper name. But yeah, LBP has been this games name for me for so long that I don’t think I’ve called it anything else.

      Makes sense. Like MAME, like the other reply mentioned.

      Made me delve a bit, the logical conclusion i came to:

      it seems to be evolved from

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(digital_video_recorder)

      to https://m.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playstation_Emulators/Windows/PCSX/18

      to

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCSX-Reloaded

      and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCSX2

      There is no mention on their page about it though. https://rpcs3.net/about

      So an initial word play on PC and PS merged into PCS later added reloaded?
