Since the mGBA Emulator PS4 port and Yabause Sega Saturn Emulator PS4 port, PlayStation 4 homebrew developer @zezu420 (aka Znullptr on Twitter) worked on a PCSXR (CodePlex Archive) PS4 port of the PlayStation emulator PCSX-Reloaded based on the PCSX-df Project. 🕹️

According to his Patreon page he's currently writing a PlayStation 4 usermode virtualizer, and although a public Package release of the Sony PlayStation PCSX-R emulator hasn't surfaced yet some demo videos of it in action from hyndrid (using a private test FPKG from Markus00095) are available from his YouTube Channel via Twitter running PSOne games Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil on a PS4 5.05 jailbroken console.

:arrow: Update: A public PSX.PKG file is now available via Markus95 on Logic-Sunrise.com with a brief tutorial, roughly translated:

Download: psx.pkg (6.5 MB)
  • Install the fpkg PSX.pkg
  • Copy / paste your rom in .bin format to the root of your USB key by renaming it game.bin
  • Copy / paste by FTP memcard.mcr in data / pcsxr / ... (optional because the saves do not work)
  • Launch PSCX-R from your PS4 menu
  • Your game starts

Check them out with a few related Tweets below, and to quote from the recent post update on switching to development of a PS4 virtualizer:

"Development of the various emulators on PS4 has been dropped. If you were supporting the emulators, I fully understand if you want to cancel your pledge. The modified source code will be released on github once I have time to clean it up and post.

The new development focus is a PS4 usermode virtualizer.

Going forward this account may or may not be used for the virtualizer project.

Thanks, -Z"

Ok I am testing it now .. here are the issues:
  • you must name the bin file to game.bin and one file only can be loaded only
  • the screen is not 16:9 but 4:3
  • the sound is buggy-glitchy
  • there is a slight frame rate issue
if the game has extra music .bin tracks they will not play.. only games with a complete bin with music packaged within the game itself will play sound

games I have tested and played a while are:
  • Rage racer - was able to play the game and come 3rd in a race
  • Tony hawk skating 4 - was able to play around on a track do some tricks
  • Crash team racing - was able to play ok
I hope someone can fix this because it's very promising ...
