fpPS4
0.0.1 / 31-12-2022
fpPS4 is a PS4 emulator for Windows and more specifically a “PS4 compatibility layer over Free Pascal”. According to the developer, this project is made for fun and is still in its infancy.
It's capable of running very few basic commercial games such as Sonic Mania as these particular type of games are often used for early testing. It's due to them using less advanced function calls and possibly less 3D which makes them easier to be a starting point.

Kyty
0.2.0 / 18-08-2022
Kyty is a PS4 & PS5 emulator in the very early stage. That said, it is possible to run some basic simple games for PS4 and homebrews for PS5, but don't be surprised if they also have graphical glitches, crashes, freezes and low FPS. All in all, it's still being actively developed and additional features will eventuall be implemented (audio, MP4 video, multi-user, etc.).
Please note the path to Savedata folder is hardcoded and can't be configured and other system parameters (language, date format, etc.) are also hardcoded.
