A PS4 developer named Znullptr has already brought several emulators to the jailbroken PS4. These include systems like the Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, and PS1. These are all part of the PS4’s homebrew ports on the GameOS side of the console. We know that PS4 Linux can run many more emulators, like RetroArch for example. But getting PS4 Linux up and running can be a bit of a hassle when you just want to play quickly. So, it’s always exciting to see new additions to the PS4’s main menu, especially when it comes to emulation.
Port of the popular multi-system emulator [https://mednafen.github.io/ Mednafen] to the PS4. Support for 3 to 4 players.
 
Emulators that are working full speed (Full Screen/Scanline support):
* Nintendo NES/Famicom.
* Sega Master System.
* Sega Genesis / Megadrive.
* Super Nintendo /Famicom,
* NEC PC Engine/ TurboGrafX-1.
* NEC PC Engine FX.
 
The following does not support full screen (maybe possible to adjust it in the .cfg file):
* Nintendo Gameboy.
* Nintendo Gameboy Color.
* Sega Game Gear.
* SNK Neo Geo.
* Atari Lynx.
* Bandai WonderSwan / Color.
* Nintendo VirtualBoy.
 
Emulator with issues:
* Saturn does not work.
* PlayStation 1 only works with some games.
** Fullspeed is only possible on PS4 Pro (games may glitch on Slim and Fat).
** You must have a .cue of your .iso, .img or .bin to launch your game, you create them yourself.
 
==Installation==
*Install the fpkg (via pkg installation in debug settings of your exploited PS4)
*Copy the Mednafen Folder to the root of a USB storage device from the download.
*Transfer roms (via USB or FTP) to "data/....". folder of your PS4 internal drive (can be grouped in console folders).
*Some platforms will need BIOS files, they are placed on your USB in the Mednafen folder then from there "firmware/....".
*(v0.3 update) Unzip the archive and copy the mednafen.cfg file to your USB in the "mednafen/..." folder.


Recently, the developer decided to bring a popular multi-system emulator called Mednafen to the PS4. This port was originally released a few weeks ago by Znullptr and introduced to us by Markus95. Since then, Markus95 has made some improvements to the configuration file that fixed several platforms (Virtual Boy, WonderSwan & WonderSwan Color) that were not compatible with the DualShock 4 layout. With a reconfigured "mednafen.cfg" file, those issues are now gone. Markus95 has also added support for 4 players and plans to make a few more tweaks to the configuration file in the future.
