RPCS3: We are delighted to announce that as of today, the RPCS3 Loadable compatibility category has reached 0 GAMES! This means there are no PS3 games left that boot to a black screen on the emulator - every PS3 game at the very least boots
Current frontrunner for PS4 virtualization AFAIK is orbital https://github.com/AlexAltea/orbital

PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 Emulator Kity Version 0.1.0 Released; Runs Some Commercial Games
It looks like orbital is licensed under MIT? Is the source code only partially released or is it actually open source?

Xbox 360/PS3 emulation and the "end of history"
Because you don't just have to figure out the software (software that is already not just a stepping through the debugger away from comprehension), but the hardware too. Even in the ps4 case, there's a world to reinvent (here the lines between emulation and virtualization may effectively blur though, since only "secondary devices" wouldn't be run directly)

God of War and Halo together. What a time to be a PC gamer
There are only two PlayStation 4 emulators in development at the moment, Orbital which I think their most recent breakthrough was just getting the setup screen to boot, no games.

Anyone get Sid Meier's SimGolf Working?
One option is to try PCEm https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ which is a emulator for old computers that runs on Windows and Linux, I actually learned about it via this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9HP9W88Wew of a guy playing Sim Golf on his Windows PC using PCEm, this should be similar on Linux but I'm not sure if the SteamDeck will have enough power but maybe worth a try

Is there anyway to port old abandonware Windows 95/98 game to Apple Silicon?
For hardcore mode, compile PCEm - I think brew has most of the dependencies available ... https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ - have fun!

Is VirtualBox still really bad with Windows 9x?
You use 86box or PCem which are not virtualizers but hardware emulators so you will need a really fast CPU (especially in single thread). The advantage is that Windows 98 will be running on period appropriate hardware, since all of it is being emulated real-time.

Intel Explores Transition to 64-Bit-Only X86S Architecture
QEMU [0] emulates many systems, including the 32-bit Intel architecture. For retro gaming specifically I can recommend PCem [1], which also emulates a wide range of sound and graphics cards, from IBM MDA to 3dfx Voodoo 2.
