Iwould like to introduce everyone to a little hobby of mine: video game emulation. Game emulation is the process of using a computer program to mimic the programming of a game console, allowing the user to play video games without the use of an expensive console. Although emulating a game is not explicitly illegal, downloading copyrighted code (in this case, downloading a video game) is, and the many fan-made or parody games that one can play on emulators occupy something of a legal gray zone. That said, the law is not always clear on what is and is not moral or ethical, so I would like to speak in defense of game emulation, the circulation of code for older games, and the creation of new works using that code.
There are several reasons why people want to emulate games. The first and most common is when people want to play games from their childhood, but cannot find or cannot use the original games or systems. Maybe a person moved on and sold their old games, maybe they got lost or broken, or new technology has made the games unplayable in their original formats. The graphics of old Playstation or Nintendo systems are almost impossible to interpret on modern high-resolution television. I know this for a fact, because my Dad and I still have our old systems, and we ended up having to find a cheap LCD TV to play on our old stuff. In other cases, the old tech has become literally inoperable. For example, the original GameBoy had an internal battery that would expire after enough time, and the internal clock on the Game Boy Advance would stop counting after a while, making it impossible to save games on the system. Nintendo and other companies do not service these old devices nowadays, because it does not bring in enough profit to justify it, so the only way to play some games is through emulation.
Is it legal to emulate games? No, not particularly. But it is very much legal for companies to run these ridiculous scams, keeping us from the art we love, and honestly, I am not losing any sleep over emulating classic games that Nintendo refuses to put on their stores for reasons that disregard all sense of reasoning.

PlayStation 4 was released a decade ago, all the way back in November 2013. Now, an emulator is in development for the console which can potentially help players play PS4 games on PC. This emulator is being made by the same team that built RPCS3, a PS3 emulator. The new PS4 emulator is called RPCSX. Here are all details about the new PS4 emulator in development.
The developers have said that this project is currently an experimental emulator which cannot run games yet. They have also added that it is unknown when their emulator will be able to run PS4 games. The emulator is also being written in C++ for Linux, as per the GitHub page.
RPCS3, the PS3 emulator, has been around for 10 years, and yet 30% of PS3 games either can't be finished, have serious glitches or have insufficient performance", as highlighted by PCGamer. The new RPCSX emulator has just begun development and there is also a key difference for the emulators to deal with when typing to play PS4 games on your PC. The current RPCSX emulator for PS4 takes advantage of PS4's x86 architecture which is similar to one on a modern PC.
The team trying to pull off this emulator but it does have serious glitches or have insufficient performance." The current state that the PS4 emulator is early days so it can be years before games even boot up. However, the RPCS3 is proof that an emulator for Sony PS4 which runs games can indeed happen.
