In other words, it's goal is allowing the entire PlayStation 4 software stack to run on your PC.
Orbital is a low-level virtualization-based PlayStation 4 emulator for Windows and Linux. And while the latest hacks and exploits for the PS4 gives the developers the opportunity to understand how this console actually works, maybe this could be a chance for programming a working emulator, which would mean that both sides can profit from this project. Well-known developer AlexAltea is one of those other people mentioned who tries exactly right that with his - as he calls it - 'Virtualization-based PlayStation 4 Emulator', named Orbital.Īlthought it's in his early stages and emulating a console on a PC was never a easy task in general, this project could be a step in the right direction which looks promising, not only because the PS4 is based on a (modified) x86 architecture as well. And since we speak already about the PS4, maybe we should have a look what those other people are trying to achieve about PS4 Emulation on PC. While one side tries to emulate older Classic Titles on newer consoles - like running PS2 Game Titles on the PS4 - then there are also other people who tries to run newer Game Titles on the PC. When a new console generation get's released, there is always the question sooner or later: 'Can I emulate it on my PC?'
