Info
Obliteration is an open-source virtualization-based PS4 emulator project written in Java for mobile devices compatible with Android and iOS.
This is the first and the only PS4 emulator which allows you to play Play Station 4 games on smartphone and tablet.
Highlights
Obliteration is an experimental PS4 emulator using Kyty and Uplift as a reference.
The original author of Kyty does not involved in the development of Obliteration in anyway.
Obliteration is a completely separated project; the reason you see the author of Kyty in a contributor list because this project contains commits from Kyty.
You can now play PS4 games on Android and iOS at variable frame rates with a smooth experience as most of the titles can now run at 60 FPS and beyond.
The software performance is primarily determined by graphics memory and shader clock speed.
The advanced settings menu lets users tune in-game resolution, add post-processing effects, and extend visual enhancement features.
Obliteration emulator uses SPIR-V for hardware-accelerated virtualization – it is a low-level shader language used in the Adreno graphics API.
The program is driving graphical output by fully emulating the Adreno GPU via the driver backend and recompiling GCN bytecode to SPIR-V.
The current state of Obliteration at booting decrypted kernels can be followed in the issue tracker: both PS4 4.55 and PS4 5.00 have been tested.
System requirements
The hardware requirements for running the application vary depending on your current configuration.
Our recommended specifications don’t guarantee perfect performance in most games, but rather strive to provide a cost effective recommendation while still considering performance.
