fpPS4: PS4 Emulator runs another 3D game, now supports 81 games (+Temmie’s Launcher update)

admin

Developer Red-Prig keeps releasing updates to his PS4 emulator fpPS4, almost on a daily basis. Today testers have reported that another 3D game, Sky Force Reloaded, now runs in the emulator. 3D games are a big deal because they are more complicated to emulate than 2D games on the platform, as they use slightly more complicated libraries and dependencies. FpPS4 now officially reports 81 PS4 games as playable.

fpPS4 is a PS4 emulator for Windows x64, more specifically a “PS4 compatibility layer (emulator) on Free Pascal”. According to the developer, this project is made for fun and just in its beginning stage.

FpPS4 already runs some commercial games. The compatibility list now shows 81 games as “playable” (60 commercial games, 21 homebrew games) and 65 more that go “ingame” (which at this point means they most likely have game-breaking issues). Playable games include Sonic Mania, Super Meat Boy, Undertale, 10 Second Ninja X, Uncanny Valley, Asdivine hearts, and Shutshimi. You’ll need a decent GPU/CPU to get playable framerates, though.

2D Games marked as “playable” play great for the most part in fpPS4 in my experience. Tiny Troopers Joint Ops is now marked as “playable” in the compatibility list, but I personally wouldn’t go that far, and simply consider it “ingame”. I doubt anyone managed to get it to run at acceptable framerates at the moment.

In parallel, fpPS4 can also be enhanced with a GUI such as Temmie’s fpPS4 launcher, which has been seeing lots of improvements lately as well.
