PCSX4 emulator for Android
Description
PCSX4 is a beta Play Station 4 & Play Station 4 Pro emulator project based on hardware-assisted virtualization which allows you to play PS4 games on Android device (see also Windows, MacOS, Linux and iOS).
It requires your PS4 console to grab “play-station device identifier” (PDIX) and original PS4 games.

If you have a dedicated GPU that has Vulkan support, then you can expect a decent performance.
