Release: fpPS4 v30052022 – PS4 Emulator for Windows
It seems to be the season for updates on PS4 emulators, with multiple developers getting out of the woods to showcase their progress on PS4 emulation. Today, we’re seeing a recent build of fpPS4, an open source PS4 emulator for Windows by developer red-prig. FpPS4 has been out there for a while, and it’s worth mentioning that the source code hasn’t been (publicly) updated in 6 month. It’s unclear if this new build brings anything new since last year.
Update: the source code has been updated a few hours after we published this article. Check the github link below!
What is fpPS4

fpPS4 is a PS4 emulator for Windows x64, more specifically a “PS4 compatibility layer (emulator) on Free Pascal”. According to the developer, this project is made for fun and just in its beginning stage.
fpPS4 already runs some commercial games, with the video below by BrutalSam showcasing Sonic Mania and We Are Doomed. As to why these particular games are often used for early tests, it seems they use a smaller amount of PS4-specific function calls, and possibly less 3D in particular, making them easier to run in the first place, even when the emulator is incomplete.
currently only two games work, We Are Doomed and Sonic Mania. also, a few samples work. However, for Sonic Mania, it runs in pure green in my RTX 3060 for some reason

will not ever happen divas are everywhere
No, I prefer each emu separately.
I’m old school from the ’80s and have lived thru the era of video games from advert to now, and following pretty much the rise and evolution of emulators for every console/arcade, and understands how every emu development is unique due to the diff in ever console machine, and as such there’s no universal solution like one emu that does it all.
Retro arch and similar alikes merely just a front end app to package a bunch of diff emu cores in a big shinny plastic bag to make it appear as one, but it aint.
You new gen kids need to learn to dig under the hoods more, and appreciate the nuts and bolts of how each emu works its marvels.
