Info
Orbital is an open-source virtualization-based PS4 emulator project written in C++ for PC desktop compatible with Windows.
This is the first and the only PS4 emulator which allows you to play Play Station 4 games on computer devices.
It can runs most of the PS4 exclusive titles on high-end systems with some bugs/glitches as it is still in beta.
Highlights
Orbital emulator use the built-in frame-limiter to speed up or slow down the game for rapid grinding or passing through difficult areas.
You can now play PS4 games on Windows OS at variable frame rates with a smooth experience as most of the titles can now run at 60 FPS and beyond.
The software performance is primarily determined by graphics memory and shader clock speed.
The advanced settings menu lets users tune in-game resolution, add post-processing effects, and extend visual enhancement features.
Orbital emulator uses SPIR-V for hardware-accelerated virtualization – it is a low-level shader language used in the Vulkan graphics API.
The program is driving graphical output by fully emulating the AMD GPU via the Vulkan backend and recompiling GCN bytecode to SPIR-V.
The current state of Orbital at booting decrypted kernels can be followed in the issue tracker: both PS4 4.55 and PS4 5.00 have been tested.
There will be frequent releases which you can get from the downloads section.
