Orbital is an experimental, virtualization-based PlayStation 4 emulator written in C/C++. It is a research project not ready for end users, requiring users to build components themselves and extract their own console keys.
Use cases
- emulate ps4 games on pc
- run playstation 4 software on linux
- research ps4 kernel and hypervisor internals
- boot decrypted ps4 kernels in a vm
- study virtualization-based console emulation
When to choose
- you are a researcher or developer interested in PS4 emulation internals
- you want to experiment with hypervisor-based emulator architectures
- you can build from source and extract your own console keys
When to avoid
- you want a ready-to-use emulator to play PS4 games
- you need binaries or user-friendly setup
- you lack a CPU with virtualization extensions and 12+ GB RAM
