The '''PlayStation 4''' (PS4) is an eighth-generation console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment on November 15, 2013 and retailed for {{Inflation|USD|399.99|2013}}. It is the first PlayStation console to use the [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] architecture, a semi-custom 8-core AMD Jaguar CPU at 1.6 GHz. One of the cores is utilised utilized separately only for low-power, background tasks. The CPU shares its place on an APU chip alongside a semi-custom AMD GCN Radeon GPU supported by 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM at 2.75 GHz, while 256MB of DDR3 RAM is used only for background tasks.
Emulation of the PlayStation 4 will prove to be a monumental task owing to the complexity of x86_64 and the Radeon-based GPU. Most projects will inevitably end up going the route of [[Wine]].

:A compatibility layer for the PS4 and PS5 made by InoriRus, the creator of Short Waves. In It's in the very early stages of development. Can now boot some simple lightweight gamesas of v0.1.0. This is also the first ever PlayStation 4 emulator with a GUI. Like GPCS4, the emulator is Windows-exclusive.
==Overview==
==Arcade variations==
===Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade===
Taito's Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade is currently the only arcade game that runs on PS4 based hardware. This game runs on a PS4 kiosk demo unit which the hardware is identical to regular retail PS4 and could be converted to regular retail mode. An extra I/O board is attached to the PS4 via USB port.
Despite the arcade game program itself could run on a regular PS4 without any issue, the USB I/O board is yet to be reverse-engineered, and judging from the current status of PS4 emulation, emulation support for this arcade game is very likely the last item on the to-do list.
