Isizukulwana sangaphambili sikaSony sezinto ezikhethekileyo zekhonsoli ngoku ziyafumaneka kwiPC enkosi kwi-emulator yePlayStation 4. I-PlayStation 4 yayinezihloko ezikhethekileyo kubo bonke ubomi bayo, uninzi lwazo olungafumanekiyo ngoku kubadlali ngaphandle kwePS4 okanye inkqubo yePS5. Kwelinye icala, abadlali bePC banokuthi ekugqibeleni babe namava kwaye bagcine ezi zihloko zamandulo ngenxa yokusetyenziswa kokulinganisa.
Ngelixa abaninzi kwishishini bejongela phantsi ukulinganisa, bekholelwa ukuba iyafana nobuqhetseba, kunokuba luncedo ekugcineni imidlalo yevidiyo yakudala. Izizukulwana ezidala ze-console, kuquka i-PlayStation 2 kunye ne-Xbox yokuqala, zisondela esiphelweni sobomi babo obuluncedo.
Njengoko ixesha lihamba, i-hardware yezi zixhobo zakudala, ngokukodwa iibhetri, ziqala ukusilela. Izihloko ezikhethekileyo zeConsole ezingafumanekiyo kwiPC okanye eziguqulelwe kumaqonga amatsha aziyi kudlalwa ukuba zonke ezi zinto zindala ziyayeka ukusebenza. Ngokwenza imidlalo ye-PS2 idlaleke kwiiPC zangoku kunye neziphuhlayo, i-emulator ye-PCSX2, evumela imidlalo ye-PlayStation 2 ukuba iqhube kwi-PC, ubukhulu becala yayilungiselelwe ukunqanda oku ukuba kungenzeki.
Ii-emulators zinokugqithiselwa kwii-consoles ezintsha, ezifana nezo zenziwe ngabakhuphisana nabo. Umzekelo, i-PlayStation emulator kuXbox Series X/S ivumela abasebenzisi ukuba badlale imidlalo eyenzelwe iqonga lokudlala likaSony.
IGamer yeVintage yanamhlanje ixoxa nge-emulator esandula ukukhutshwa evumela ukuba iPlayStation 4 imidlalo iqhube kwiPC kwividiyo yeYouTube. Ngaphambi kokuba ikhutshwe esidlangalaleni kule veki, inkqubo yokulinganisa esekwe kwiLinux Spine kwathiwa ibikuphuhliso iminyaka emine.
Ngelixa uMnqonqo ungenakukwazi ukuqhuba imidlalo emikhulu ekhethekileyo yeqela lokuqala njengoThixo weMfazwe okanye uMoya weTsushima, unokubaleka imidlalo ekhethiweyo yePS4 efana neeSeli ezifileyo kunye neSonic Mania kwiiPC zeLinux. Ngelishwa, ukukhuphela kunye nokufaka i-Spine kunzima, kwaye inani lemidlalo ehambelanayo lilinganiselwe, kodwa iteknoloji yokulinganisa isaphuhliswa kwaye iya kuphucula ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Ukulinganisa kuyakwazi ukuvusa amava abadlali abaninzi abafa kudala ukongeza ekugcineni amava omdlalo womdlali omnye. Ngo-Agasti ka-2020, i-PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 yaphuculwa ukuze isebenze kwi-intanethi ye-PS3 imidlalo yabadlali abaninzi, ivuselela uluntu olukwi-intanethi ngezihloko ezinjengeMiphefumlo yeDemon. Itekhnoloji isebenza ngokuseka inguqulelo eyimfihlo yePlayStation Network, ivumela abasebenzisi ukuba babe namava emidlalo yakudala yemidlalo ye-intanethi ngaphakathi kweso siganeko sePSN.
Ngaphandle kwenyani yokuba iSpine yinkqubo entsha yokulinganisa, ibonisa isithembiso sokwandiswa kwexesha elizayo. Ngelixa i-PlayStation 4 hardware iya kuqhubeka ingaphumeleli njengoko inkqubo ikhutshwe kwimveliso, i-emulators efana ne-Spine iya kuqinisekisa ukuba ithala leencwadi elikhulu lemidlalo ekhethekileyo liya kufumaneka kwixesha elizayo.
