spinedemo VS OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain

Spine:https://github.com/devofspine/spinedemo

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".

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.

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, https://github.com/devofspine/spinedemo, is a GNU/Linux only PlayStation 4 emulator and the only one that got so far as to emulate some games to a playable state.

Then you can find binaries on this repo https://github.com/devofspine/spinedemo/releases/tag/20190609

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.)

This would fall under the no piracy rule as it would be distributing copyrighted material without permission. You should use the OpenOrbis sdk instead for homebrew development. https://github.com/OpenOrbis/OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain

I wouldn't say its super high, its just still fairly early (in homebrew years) so even tools to make stuff are themselves are work in progress. Here is a like to the OpenOrbis toolchain which is what you would ideally use instead of any of the cracked official SDKs. This is Mira which is made to work in tandem on the ps4 side with applications built with OOSDK. Specter has a series of youtube videos showing how to setup OOSDK and use basic functionality. These videos are pretty old now though, so not everything will be the same.

The toolchain itself can be found on this github as well as all the other open orbis stuff.

okay get started https://github.com/OpenOrbis/OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain/releases/ lol

This:https://pkg-zone.com/store is a list of all the current homebrew apps available. This: https://github.com/OpenOrbis/OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain is the open orbis sdk for legal homebrew development.

If you want to do it legally, you need to use an open source sdk like Open Orbis: https://github.com/OpenOrbis/OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain

It's how the PlayStation 4 does imports. It's part of their custom linker stage. There's a tool to generate the same format located here
