​

DH, the founder of the popular PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3, has given an update on his new project today via the official RPCS3 Twitter account. The Tweet shows a small progress update on RPCS4, a PlayStation 4 emulator. According to the Tweet, DH has not worked on RPCS3 since 2016 and his new team has no overlap with the RPCS3 team, meaning it shouldn't halt development on that emulator. RPCS4 is still early enough in development that it doesn't have a website yet, and in another Tweet, the RPCS3 devs denounce the RPCS4.com website as "fake," and tell users "do not fall for scams." RPCS4 should also not be confused with PCSX4, another well-known fake PlayStation 4 emulator.

This announcement comes only a week following the revival of Spine, another PlayStation 4 emulator on Linux that is showing serious promise. While RPCS3 is by far the most popular PlayStation 3 emulator, the early arrival of Spine onto the scene may give RPCS4 a bit more competition.

DH, RPCS3's founder, has given permission to share this quick progress update of his PlayStation 4 emulator.

The RPCS4 emulator is being worked on by DH, who worked on RPCS3 from 2011 to 2016, there is no overlap from the RPCS3 Team, which will continue to work on RPCS3. pic.twitter.com/Kwq9QoOULM

Heard they started working on a PS6 emulator in their garage but it must be a fake

What a pissing contest. They barely showed anything or have said anything for years and now all of a sudden they want to show something that’s barely a demo and don’t even do a minimum and acknowledge the fake malware website that gets listed on Google when you search for this new name

As someone who regularly googles ps4/ps5 emulator and downloads and runs what I find this is a nice change of pace.

PS4 emulation is starting to get real after Spine, GPCS4, and Orbital. And PS4Delta as well but it was quiet since 11 months ago. Anyway.. Good work!

Thats a funny way of saying you’re PC I’d infested with Malware

I bet you also download Microsoft point generaters

nice, although i looked if it wasnt april first today.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

On the fake rpcs4 website it says "Coming 2030".

On the fake rpcs4 website it says "Coming 2030".

I wouldn't have entered the fake website

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I wouldn't have entered the fake website

Why is that?

 

[MORSHU8KRTXON]

Why is that?

I don't want to get some kind of malware

 

[D34DL1N3R]

I don't want to get some kind of malware

There's literally nothing on the page except text. No downloads or anything. No malware on the page. Something else I noticed about it though, if you click around on the top right section of the page you can make some pretty patterns. LOL!

Spine’s monopoly on ps4 emulators has been short lived, a new competitor has already come into view…

 

[SecureBoot]

Hippity hoppity your meme is now my property

 

[raxadian]

People, please note the first few Google results for this emulator are a scam.

 

[fodder]

I hope they port this to switch.

Not gonna happen, every version of the PS4 is far more powerful than the Switch, so trying to emulate that won't ever work

 

[ChibiMofo]

There is no chance a emulated PS4 game will run well on Switch. It would be a struggle to get it to run normally, never mind with the overhead that comes with emulation. Even if it was ported, you would get a poor framerate. Maybe something like 10 FPS at best?

The Switch is simply not powerful enough.

Gee. Thanks for clearing that up.

2030? The entire mankind would be completely whiped out by Super-COVID19-Ultra Instinks

RPCS5.com on the other hand is totally legit.
