Following some of the previous PS4 Emulator Ports and his recent update, on this very Merry Christmas day PlayStation 4 developer BigBoss has officially released his PS4 fMSX MSX / MSX2 / MSX2+ emulator LibOrbis port for 1.76 jailbroken consoles!
Download: fmsx-master.zip / GIT
To quote from the README.md: fMSX for PlayStation 4
What does this do?
fMSX is an emulator made by Marat Fayzullin. It is not open source and don't let commercial use of it but it is easy to port to many devices. So respect his license condition.
You can get all information about it at: https://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/
What do you need to compile it?
copy bin/fmsx to use it like eboot_plugin
Put your .ROM .DSK .CAS games on GAMES
Red power button let you reset the system and go to basic prompt. You can choose 2 cart slot, 2 floppy and 1 cassete files. When you are in ugly browser after press x in the file who has the * it will load the file, later you will see reset the system and load is done
Special thanks goes to:

Red power button let you reset the system and go to basic prompt. You can choose 2 cart slot, 2 floppy and 1 cassete files. When you are in ugly browser after press x in the file who has the * it will load the file, later you will see reset the system and load is done
- I wait that this can help to developers really interested in homebrew if you want backups this is not for you. Respect the licenses from fMSX part please.
- 25/12/2017 Initial release
Special thanks goes to:
- Marat Fayzullin original author of this incredible emulator
- Akop Karapetyan author of psp port. I learned a lot from it porting to PlayStation Vita. Audio part is heavily based on his work. http://psp.akop.org/fmsx.htm
- Hitodama for his incredible work with ps4sdk i wait that you can come back soon
- frangar, xerpi theflow0 and rest of people involved in vitasdk for their incredible work on Vita, it helped a lot . Some parts of liborbis are based on their work
- All ps3dev and ps2dev old comrades
- droogie, z80, wildcard, zecoxao and all people on discord, i told you a few months ago about this emulator and finally is here
