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

What are some PS4 console locked games? I don’t think there are many right? Most have made their way to PC already I think. I guess the only thing that really comes to mind for me is Gravity Rush 2.

Bloodborne

Also TLOU Part 2. But then again I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a PC port before this emulator is fully optimized.

Oh shit, you’re right. That’s the one everyone mentions too, for some reason in my mind I always think that was like a late PS3 title that was ported to PS4, but no you’re so right. This would be pretty big for Bloodborne fans, hopefully with capabilities for higher framerates, and higher resolutions. Not to mention, maybe mod support later on in development? That would be dope. Watch, the day this gets published, Sony will announce a Bloodborne remaster, I just have a feeling.

That’s such good news.

The admins in fpPS4’s discord are insufferable and I would love to switch over to a RPCSx build

We had Orbital and Spine before this, what happened to those?

All I want is Bloodborne… I genuinely wonder if we’ll get a Bloodborne remake/remaster or a PS4 emulator first
