To LilShootDawg: It's almost as if there's red text saying that. This doesn't mean the emulator doesn't need to be documented. Are you actually autistic?

===Emulation issuesPotential Roadblocks===Even though Due to the PS4 has an 's x86 CPU like normal PCsarchitecture and FreeBSD-based operating system, that does not mean it'll emulators for the device will by and large be easy to emulate as very unconventional.

Another thing There is that there is currently also, as of writing this, little to no documentation on the GPU (a modified Radeon 7970M with disabled stream processors) used in the PS4's APU. While the console has been hacked, efforts are as of now preliminary and not it will require a complete re-implementation by emulator developers. End-users may wish to perform a preliminary dump of the point of being able to run backups or pirated games - please don't even ask about PoC emulators until it's hacked. All that said, don't expect any functional required files from their PS4 emulators for a very long time, at least 10 years or moreusing the [https://phi.nz/orbital/tools/dumper/ Orbital Dumper]
