Developers at PandaElf Labs have figured out a way to play PS3 games on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch with a little wrangling of hardware and software.
EveryAir is the name of the remote desktop application that will allow users to play PS3 games on their iOS device.
Folks at PandaElf explain how it works:
The trick is to connect a capture device and a USB mouse/keyboard device to the PS3. The capture device sends video data to the PC, and the USB keyboard/mouse sends the button presses. On the PC itself, you run a custom build of everyAir which understands custom gestures and pipes the input to the PC which then sends it to the PS3 via the input interpreter.
There are two problems to solve: sending the video signal to the iOS device and sending back input from the iOS device. Sending the video signal is solved by using an off the shelf capture device, and then sending back the input is a combination of a custom build of everyAir with an off the shelf mouse/keyboard device that connects to the PS3.
They have also developed EveryAir – a remote desktop application that connects the iOS device to the PC.
You can checkout the impressive demo video of someone playing God Of War on the iPhone and Gran Turismo 5 on the iPad:
everyAir (iTunes link) that is currently available on the App Store does not support this feature but PandaElf are planning to release a fully customizable version of everyAir that will allow iOS device users to play PS3 games soon. We’ll let you know as soon as it is released, so tuned here at iPhone Hacks or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Looks fake
*SIGH* REALLY??????
Even if it’s real i smell lagggggggg
I agree with Tammasus, plus, the new iphone should be able to run PS3 games. These developers should stop waisting their time with the stupid app store and put this on Cydia. DEATH TO THE APP STORE!
looking forward to it

GAY! WASTE OF TIME!
@Doomsday,
Surely you can find a better adjective.
perfect adjective
Wont work as well as how a PS3 does.
This takes the cake for most retarded idea ever. Why would you even bother.
wow what a bunch of sour face c*nts you lot are, at least some one finding new uses for apple devices this sort of thing could A, keep older devices in use
B,open up new ideas uses for the software such as video streaming from the ps3 (if its not already been done)
C,the psp cant even do this when hacked apart from minis and ps1 games.
yes it looks laggy but im sure after a few updates it will be more playable
I agree with Rob. Atleast someone is trying. No one has done any remote play on iPhone before. And if they cut out the hardware and use custom software installed on the ps3 that may cut some lag off. Plus it’s in early development so there is bound to be performance enhancements. And maybe an option to stream a lower bitrate video.
Meet it will be cram a capture device up you wifes ass and you can control her every move. LOL HEY WAIT that’s a great idea I’m waiting for that one.
Next it will be oops
rly? No one here has thought about remoting into your pc from, say, school wireless so you can play desktop games on your iphone? no one?
