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.

Spine, the Linux Exclusive PS4 Emulator
The dev himself wrote on the github page of his demo, that it's a "Wine-like PS4 emulator". He probably uses some of the principles used in Wine. But in the end, the rest of the system is so different that it's still going to be an emulator regardless. It's far from being "Proton for the PS4".

Is there a PS4 emulator out right now that actually works and is not a scam?
Not ones that will play your game. Most PS4 emulators are currently in development only, like SPINE and Oribtal. It takes years to create these.

Everything like it should be: reviving some memories and not giving money to this bastards.
Actually, there are two actively maintained emulators with one showing a lot of promise. One of them, Orbital, is only able to boot into the PS4 firmware, but the Spine emulator is able to boot into a large number of indie games, some of them playable. This video from Modern Vintage Gamer can tell you more.

Spine (ps4) Emulator gets a significant update for supporting games.
A relatively new yet functional "emulator" that works a lot like WINE for the PS4 known as spine has gotten quite the update according to GBAtemp's Chary. Now you may ask why is this something worth mentioning? Spine is currently Linux only, and that looks bright for the Deck considering it runs linux, and that Spine's demo ran low end games with a gtx 970 . As a huge Persona fan who already intends to have 1-4 running day one, this interested me enough to post it since this latest update can get 5 royal working in game (although i don't know the hardware used for that accomplishment.)
What are some alternatives?
