Orbital PS4 emulator for Mac OS – OS X or above
Description
Orbital is a virtualization-based Play Station 4 PS4 Emulator for Mac OS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that is under heavy development. It can only boot the firmware.
You can play PS4 commercial games on macOS devices.
Decryption with SAMU is “emulated” by hashing encrypted input blobs and returning decrypted blobs previously obtained from the actual console. No keys were dumped, no keys will be dumped. More importantly: we don’t need them, so this project does not target SAMU.
Features
This project is not ready for end users. No binaries are provided, so you must build each of the three components (BIOS, GRUB, QEMU) yourself.
Furthermore, configuring the emulator to do something will be hard, as you will need to dump and decrypt the entire PS4 filesystem and sflash, including the kernel. You might find hints on how to do this in the few scattered .sh files in this repo.
It is also open-source and is a low-level emulator.
System requirements may vary depending on your hardware configuration.
For the best experience, users should be running within the recommended system requirements.
We cannot guarantee the performance of system specifications below the minimum requirements, but you’re always welcome to experiment.
Do not expect stable performance or consistent compatibility as changes are always being made to the codebase.
System requirements
In order to run the application correctly, it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements given in the table below.
| OS version | OS X – 10.14 or above |
| CPU | N.D. |
| RAM | 8 GB (12 GB recommended) |
| Disk space | 70 MB |
It is still possible to install the app on devices not mentioned above, but we cannot guarantee its proper functioning.
We recommend backing up the device on which the app will be installed before performing any installation of third-party apps not from the official app Store.
