Native Retroarch emulator has been ported to the PS4

The PS4 Homebrew scene has been very quiet lately but hopefully this release will breathe some life back into the scene. A native (unofficial) Retroach emulator port was released today for the PS4! Its based off of v1.8.1.

There are only a handful of cores that have been ported, but more will be added at a later date. To be able to test this release out, you will need a jail broken PS4 system running firmware 5.05!

DOWNLOAD

 

Notes:
1. Games can either be loaded from hdd or usb.
2. The RetroArch system folder is located in /data/retroarch/system. Any necessary bios files need to be placed there.
3. There is a small bug where sometimes games won’t load after closing it. If this happens, try re-loading the core and load the game again.
4. N64 emulator seems to run fastest with rice gfx plugin.

Source will be pushed to main branch eventually but will be slow to ensure nothing breaks!
