Why it matters:<\/strong> PlayStation 4 emulation is still in relative infancy and will likely prove a herculean task for developers, but early signs of progress have emerged. Most PS4 emulators currently struggle to boot games with any graphics, but FpPS4 is making headway on actually playing them. <\/p>\n

The developer of the PlayStation 4 emulator FpPS4 claims it can play around 40 games, far more than other emulators. That number is a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of PS4 games available, but it’s a promising early step.<\/p>\n

The main limiting factor facing FpPS4 is that it can currently only play 2D games. Wololo.net reports<\/a> that these include Sonic Mania, Super Meat Boy, Undertale, Arcade Archives VS. Castlevania, and a few others. These titles likely have noticeable glitches, but the developer considers them “playable.”<\/p>\n

Recently, FpPS4 managed to boot its first 3D game \u2013 Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival. Users can’t meaningfully play the game but the test still represents a milestone for the emulator’s development.<\/p>\n
