## What it is
fpPS4 is a PlayStation 4 compatibility layer (emulator) written in Free Pascal. It is in early development, targeting x64 Windows systems with AVX2 CPUs and Vulkan-capable GPUs.

## Use cases
- run PS4 games on a Windows PC
- emulate PlayStation 4 games
- test PS4 homebrew software on desktop
- play indie PS4 titles before official support
- experiment with PS4 system internals via emulation

## When to choose
- you want to try running PS4 games on Windows with a Vulkan GPU
- you are interested in following or contributing to an early-stage PS4 emulator written in Pascal
- your target game is listed as playable in the compatibility tracker

## When to avoid
- you expect AAA PS4 games to run — most big titles do not work yet
- you need a mature, stable emulator for daily gaming
- you are on Linux, macOS, or a 32-bit system
- your CPU lacks AVX2 support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: simulation, graphics, gui
- domain: gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows
- tags: ps4-emulator, console-emulation, free-pascal, vulkan, game-emulator, desktop
