PS4/Xbone emulator

impossibru
just like xbox has nvr been emulated

>>58645152
why is it impossibru?

So it's x86, big woop, now you need to exactly emulate the exact CPU core being used for it, at the exact frequency.

>why

Because console games, especially exclusive ones, don't deal with speed increases well. The game itself may run faster.

>is a PC easy to emulate?
VMWare seems to think so.

It exist but I wouldn't call that something that was easily done.

Yes, a lot of the reason older console games ported to pc are locked at 30 is because that's what the game was built around games start to physically run faster a good example is bully when you unlock the frame rate the game speed will actually increase and things start to break.

I suspect the problem is the complexity of the hardware and the difficulty of getting access to it. On the complexity front, the chips in these things are custom APUs that often have weird features. One thing that springs to mind is the Xbox One has some GPU-only really fast RAM cache, I forget the name of it now.
On the access front, this console generation withstood attempts at piracy longer than the previous ones and if you can't get in to turn off the DRM, you also can't get in to study it.

Also, keep in mind that it's not as simple as "getting the PS4 OS to run". The PS4 OS is just FreeBSD with a bunch of custom software and drivers, it probably wouldn't be too difficult (compared to building an entire emulator) to get it to technically execute on a PC. What you must remember however, is that an OS is not an emulation layer. Applications (say, games in this case) do not run "on top" of the OS, using hardware exclusively through the OS as many people picture it. They, for instance, execute directly on the bare metal CPU, their time allocation and other resources managed by the OS. And because we don't have the source code for the applications we want to run, that means the hardware (or this case, the fake virtualized hardware) has to be *exactly* as they expect it to be. (Yes recompiling approaches exist and are common in emulation but you still have to understand even minutiae of what the application wants to be able to write the recompiler in the first place).

If you mean Xbox in general, 360 looks as though it will be emulated sooner or later with Xenia (indeed they can already launch many retail disk games, they're just not stable).
If you mean the classic Xbox that's an incredibly bad example to use here. That console is the chief example of "totally non standard and undocumented hardware hampering emulator development". (Also there's little to no incentive to speak of, but never mind about that).

What the fuck happened with the GBA?
I remember emulator existing before the offcial release.

how?

>>58645309
VMWare doesn't emulate the processor. It passes all instructions to your computer's physical processor.

>>58645411
You got hardware, encrypted software that has to be reverse engineered to be able to boot and run the games.

It's a mssive undertaking.

Why people expect the latest consoles can be emulated just as easily as the console's that had rom's no bigger then a megabit I have no idea.

You need to emulate the hardware architecture, as I'm sure it's not as simple as off-the-shelf northcore chipsets and GPUs. Secondly, you need to create an emulation layer for the kernel, system library, and graphics library functions used in games.

PS4 is Custom FreeBSD
XboxOne is Windows10.

XboxOne can emulate Xbox360.

PS4 and XboxOne Emulate? Please wait PS5 or Xbox2
