My... shit I've been doing this since Lockdown, replay of the Armored Core series is just about out of the PS2 era and on to the PS3.

And that made me realize... I have no flipping idea how that works these days. I know I want an emulator (RPSC3) and I found a site that might have ISOs. And that is probably actually fine for AC4 since I don't think that got any DLC. But calibrations and the like were a thing.

From a bit of googling I saw people mention something called "nopaystation" that basically uses what I assume is a hacked/fake PSN to streamline this which sounds awesome (and that I would only ever dare use in wine because holy shit that sounds dangerous). I saw some guides that alluded to setting that up with RPSC3 but... they don't actually? But I also recall people mentioning using pirated Demon Souls and AC4 servers and... some of the Influencers I have seen very clearly play emulated PS3 games are not the kind of people who even know what an ISO is so that probably isn't the path folk are taking.

So... what are the current best practices/methods for actually grabbing PS3 games? And maybe xbox/360 if I ever decide I want to Mech Assault again.

Thanks

Vimm's Lair probably has whatever PS3 games you want- google should find that site easily. I have no clue on DLCs- I don't think I've ever emulated a PS3 game that had DLCs so I can't really help.

RPCS3 is very user friendly as far as emulators go so you might be surprised with what non-techie people can do with it. AC4 multiplayer is listed as compatible with RPCN so you could probably play it multiplayer, it's just a question of actually finding people playing it.

As for Xbox 360 emulation: again, you can get files from Vimm's but I'd suggest you let that cook. Xenia is the only 360 emulator I'm aware of. It definitely works, but it's still in rough shape right now. Needs more time. I know OG Xbox emulators exist, but I've never looked into them personally.
