==Emulators==
<span style="color:red;">'''THERE ARE NO EMULATORS THAT CAN RUN COMMERCIAL GAMES PROPERLY YET. ANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO IS PROBABLY A SCAM.PURPORT TO OFFER PS4/XBONE EMULATORS ARE SCAMS!'''</span>
Even though the PS4 does have an x86 CPU like normal PCs, it doesn't mean it'll be easy to emulate as the x86 instruction set is '''huge'''<ref>{{cite web | url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130517194502/http://www.ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132032 | title= Why is XBOX emulation premature?}}</ref>. However, nearly all of x86 instructions are well documented (though some other specifics aren't) so the possibility is there. Another thing is there is currently no documentation on the GPU (a modified Radeon 7970M with disabled stream processors) used in the PS4's APU and the console isn't hacked - please don't even ask about PoC emulators until it's hacked. All that said, don't expect any functional PS4 emulators for a very long time, like 10 years.
