Spine: PS4 Emulator

Spine: PS4 Emulator is a PlayStation 4 emulator that, despite being in private development, has a demo available, making it possible to test out the compatibility of some of the games on the platform. According to its own developer, it's the first PS4 emulator capable of correctly running mainstream games. However, it's currently only available on Linux.

The compatibility list, which as with all emulators, will improve with each new update, shows that around 35% of the games tested with Spine: PS4 Emulator work. However, the fact that they work does not mean that they are perfectly playable. PlayStation 4 emulation is, as they say, still in its infancy, which means that the vast majority of emulated video games that work have different types of glitches, bugs, and other graphical defects.

It is important to note that, at the moment, Spine: PS4 Emulator does not even have a graphical interface or the options that many emulator users may be used to. For example, you can't configure the controls as you wish; instead, they're predefined (you can find these on the author's website).

Spine: PS4 Emulator is an incredibly promising PlayStation 4 emulator for PC that's already capable of running numerous video games on Linux. Hopefully, in the near future, we'll see releases for Windows or Mac as well, which will bring the emulation of this new generation of consoles to many more computers.
