Amidst a Spine PS4 Emulator for Linux rumored to be in development by devofspine (YouTube Channel) come conflicting reports from both Reddit users labeling it as an old April Fool's joke and fake to established PS4 scene developers who state the SpineDemo is indeed legitimate containing PS4 symbols and function names (resolver).

Previously we've seen an Orbital PS4 Emulator in development, but according to @zecoxao (notzecoxao via Twitter) on this latest PlayStation 4 emulator to quote: "Megaman Legends runs at steady 60 fps in my ryzen 5 1050 ti (although no audio)" followed by confirming "We are doomed also works."

Download: SpineDemo / GIT

To quote from the README.md: NOTE This repository contains sources of a Flatpak package for spinedemo. Spinedemo is a demo version of spine which is a Wine-like PS4 emulator for Linux that is being developed in private.

See releases for binary downloads.

Following my Pinball Wizard PS4 PKG, here is an Air Strike VR and None VR PS4 Unity Homebrew PKG for those with a jailbroken PlayStation 4 console.

Get ready for a epic VR experience. In Air Strike you take control of a fighter jet, in first person view, and your put up against other ace pilots in the sky.

This app is early in development.

Special thanks to @DEFAULTDNB for his closed testing of the app.

Here is a video of Air Strike from my YouTube Channel:


Here is a download link:

Download: Air Strike VR and None VR.pkg (103 MB)

This app can be loaded and played in VR if you have a VR headset plugged in, if not the game should load just fine without a VR headset plugged in.

Recently PlayStation 4 developer @ItsJokerZz made available via Twitter a PS4 Payload ELF Injector with source code for exploited 5.05 consoles followed by a FPKGi PS5 fork (directly below).

Download: FPKGi_v1.00.0-release.pkg (Latest Version) (81.5 MB) / GIT / Archive via ItsJokerZz on Github

FPKGi is an open-source clone of the PKGi homebrew by Bucanero for PSP, Vita, and PS3. It retains the beloved functionality, UI, background image, and music while bringing the experience back to the latest console generations. It supports custom fake package (FPKG) content via .json files & more! It's ideal for game preservation and personal use.

He states that this Payload & ELF Injector.exe is the first and final version of the application unless something important needs to be fixed, and below are further details from the README.md to quote: Payload_ELF_Injector

Download: Payload_ELF_Injector.zip / GIT / PS4 ELF Injector / Payload Loaders

A payload and ELF injector for 5.05 exploited PlayStation 4. This is only for 5.05 if you wish to use this application for another version get jkPatch for you firmware, replace the payload in the build folder, and then run the tool.

If you can't or do not wish to build the application download the release and if needed change the payload.

Cheers to @jwooh for the heads-up on this PS4 homebrew application!

Last year we saw a PlayStation 4 Virtualization and Experiments in PS4 Emulation demonstration of the Orbital PS4 Emulator, and recently developer @AlexAltea shared on Twitter the latest video demo from his YouTube Channel featuring DualShock 4 Controller support!

Download: orbital-master.zip / GIT / Site / Orbital Dumper

From the video's description, to quote: Experiments in PS4 emulation.

Current status: After last update, we have implemented the Aeolia XHCI device (USB 3.0) to get past the "Connect DualShock" message by connecting an actual gamepad to the PS4 VM via host passthrough.

There were many issues in our way there and we have fixed those with the invaluable help of jarves. As a future goal, we also want to implement a virtual USB device for the DualShock 4 (as opposed to using an actual physical device).

In addition, this video will give an overview of the current status of Orbital and give details on another ongoing effort: orbital-ng, our future replacement for orbital-qemu.
