Emulators are applications that act/behave like a completely different system in order to play games released before / not natively made for PS4. On the PS4, there are two types of emulators: official emulators (either made by Sony or the company that made/owns the rights to the emulated console) and emulator ports (fan-made emulators ported to PS4).

  • Emulator ports allow the PS4 to emulate: MSDOS, NES, every GameBoy, MAME, Atari Lynx, Neo-Geo Pocket, SNES, VirtualBoy, WonderSwan, Nintendo 64, PS1, Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, Nintendo DS, FB Alpha Arcades, Capcom PS1,2 &3, MSX, NEC PC-FX, NEC PC Engine, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, old PC games, Atari 2600, Atari Jaguar, Vectrex, PSP, various ports, and 3DO.
