Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Looking forward to emulators on PS4, could it run Dolphin emulator?

Someone want to vouch for who "CTurt" is and if he is known / trusted in the homebrew scene?
that's...weird...
Having a quick look at his Twitter it seems he follows some interesting persons and knows code.
But let's be real, everyone out there can execute code on a ps4. Just turn it on ;-)
I guess someone wanted to post the tweet, others read the first page and replied appropriately while not seeing why the thread was bumped.

on PCs much beefier that the current consoles, Dolphin still isn't hitting 100% accuracy with its emulation. Even its NGC emulation, while extremely well done, isn't perfect. I just played through Pikmin 2 on it and it had its issues here and there.
so i imagine it would be a mess on these machines.

Yeah... would be hard.
Dolphin struggle on high end AMD CPU.
First of all, Dolphin isn't really multi threaded. It's limited to 2 cores. Dolphin is also CPU dependant and will prefere high IPC per cores.
Basically, not only Jaguar has a terrible IPC, it's also low clocked.
Although, keep in mind that Dolphin has made some great improvements and also have builds for smaller/weaker configurations.
So, it should work for some games, but don't expect full speed on bigger games.

I can't seen the PS4 getting hacked anytime soon, nevermind homebrew being compiled for it. IIRC PS3 still can't be hacked unless you have a lower version, and you lose some functionality for it.

Since this thread was posted Nintendont came out, I use my DS4 with it, tho it'd be cool to have dolphin on PS4 since Nintendont cant handle wide screen Wave Race.
Bring on MAME, Dreamcast and PS2 emulations!
A much weaker android device seems to be running MK Double Dash at near 60 fps

CTurt is responsible for the ps4 sdk and ps4 file browser, this with firmware 1.76 and webkit exploitÂ…. 2+2Â…
The Samsung galaxy 8 runs the games excellently so unless its more powerful than the xbox/ps4 I'd say the consoles could handle it with relative ease.

You have to understand that it needs to be coded for the architecture - we've had Dolphin on mobile for years. You can't just straight port everything just because it's more powerful. Computers don't work that way.
N64 emulators on PC still need work.

Even the Wii U one needed work

Could be more powerful CPU wise. Dolphin is limited to 2 cpu cores. So if SGS8 is faster core per core clock per clock, it's enough. GPU isnt sollicited that much.
8 core ARMv8A @ 2.45GHz from what I can find. Shits all over PS4's Jaguar.

But its a mobile cpu so will instantly throttle down from that speed, not to mention they are not engineered with single thtead performance in mind even if the clock speed is higher than the Jaguar. Every time i see someone playing Dolphin on these newer phones the emulated cpu speed is set at 30% of its true speed to get things working.
Why do you keep bumping this thread?
