The upcoming PS4 emulator from the team behind the popular RPCS3, RPCSX, has been updated to support audio and gamepads.
Development on the new PS4 emulator has made great progress, and as covered recently, the emulator is already able to run the PS4 version of Sonic Mania. Then again, you'll need quite the setup to properly run, and even then, the game's performance isn't that great. In addition to being able to run this 2D Sonic entry, the emulator is also able to boot fan-favorite PS4 exclusive Bloodborne. Although the game can't be played yet, it's still impressive that the team has managed to boot the game without crashing in such a short period.
After showing off a video of Sonic Mania running through the emulator, YouTuber 'BrutalSam' has now released a new video of the Sonic title being played with audio and a PS4 controller - something that wasn't possible earlier. Impressive work from the team behind the project for sure. You can check out the video below (thanks Dsogaming):
Now, don't expect to be able to boot PS4 exclusives such as Bloodborne, The Last Guardian, The Ghost of Tsushima, and Infamous anytime soon, but the progress that the team has been making deserves credit.
We aren't really sure when the team started development on RPCSX, but we do know that the emulator was first known as RPCS4, which we learned about back in 2021. Interesting to note is that the team began working on the RPCS3 PS3 emulator back in 2011, and has been making tremendous progress over the past few years. As covered recently, the RPCS3 PlayStation 3 emulator can run all PlayStation 3 titles, and a recent new version of the emulator packed additional performance improvements on different graphics cards.
