Do the PS2 versions work on PS3?

Idk what you might be doing wrong, and I'm not in the tutorial business, but I highly recommend giving the latest version of PCSX2 and a random YouTube tutorial another shot, it's gonna be a lot easier than jailbreaking your PS3. Either way good luck have fun.

any one know how to emulate a dsi game
2 projects | /r/Roms | 8 Jul 2023

citra is for 3ds games. while it should be compatible with ds games since the physical consoles are, this isn't true of the emulators. http://desmume.org/ has what you need.
I just got into this 30 minutes ago, and I downloaded DesmuME from retroemulators.com. Should I check my laptop for a virus?
1 project | /r/Roms | 8 Jul 2023

Did you get it from the project's GitHub or official website? The emulator is known, so unless you got it from an unknown source, it should be fine. If you're still worried, you can run a virus scan at any time. If you want to ask more about it, ask in more relevant subreddits, i.e. r/EmulationOnPC.
