Hello everyone, in this video I will guide you through downloading and installing two PlayStation 3 emulators on your Android device - whether that's a Retroid Pocket 5, an Odin 2 Portal, your phone, or anything in-between.
This guide has been designed to be as simple as possible so that it is accessible for anybody. If there is anything that confuses you in the video, please feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to respond to each and every one of them in order to help you out.
Below are some devices I love to use, including the Odin 2 Portal I used in this video. Purchasing them from the affiliate links greatly help me out. You can also help support me by joining my Patreon or Ko-fi pages linked below. Thank you very much for even considering to do so and I hope you have a wonderful day!
