About emulating PS4 – it won’t be that easy. Remember, Xbox was a PC and we still don’t have a good emulator for that. The biggest issue is all the complex hardware which games can touch directly – PC games are basically written against an imaginary high-level machine, which then every hardware vendor implements pieces of with drivers. On the other hand, you wouldn’t need to interpret machine instructions, except again – specialised ones present only on the PS4. Then there’s the issue with the unified memory architecture, which could necessitate tons of back-and-forth copying between video and main ram in PCs.
Still, I’m prepared to be blown away by a genius high-level emulator including a static code analyser to complement a brilliant memory manager; whose author we’ll all hail as the next messiah, at least until SONY’s flying demonic ape-lawyers swoop down from the sky and carry him or her to the top of the SONY tower in the middle of SONYdor to be judged by SONYron as guilty for all the crimes of mankind and sentenced to being thrown in the lava lake of mount SONYdoom.*
