  "account": "The ARMSX3 PS3 emulator for Android has recently received several updates, adding support for online play, import of save data, and various compatibility improvements. This emulator follows in the footsteps of aPS3e and RPCSX-UI Android. In the latest version, v0.9.3, released on GitHub, ARMSX3 now includes support for online play in PS3 games, utilizing the open-source RPCN framework for matchmaking instead of the PlayStation Network.\n\nThe developer of ARMSX3 advises users not to reuse passwords from other services for their RPCN credentials, as the password is stored in plain text in a YML file, similar to RPCS3 on desktop. Additionally, this update allows users to save and switch between servers, enhancing the overall user experience.",
