While [[PS4:RetroArch|RetroArch]] covers most bases when it comes to emulation, you have the option to install standalone emulators listed below. There are two main types of emulators: XEX and ELF emulators. Keep in mind that ones that sound "too good to be true" likely will run very poorly on the system.
