How beefy of a PC would you need for that?

Probably less than we think. Ps4 runs on x64.

That would be freaking awesome if it actually runs on a regular computer and not computer we’ll have 5 years from now (as was the case for a lot of emulators when they started working on them)

It should run on ten year old hardware if they do it right

I would actually bet that emulating a PS4 would be easier compared to the PS3. You would be emulating x86_64 on top of x86_64 instead of PPC/Cell on top of x86_64.

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t easier. The PS4 is straight up a PC with some extra security DRM chips slapped on it.

Every console is a PC with modified hardware, only difference is the architecture cpu using like x64, powerpc, arm etc. The main reason why ps3 is hard to emulate is RSX chip mostly
