So the PS4 just came out, and I'm pretty positive one day in the near future the PC will be emulating it.

How long do you guys think it will take?

My Rig: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Gigabyte gtx 770 4gb, 8 gb Patriot Viper 2133 mhz, Corsair C70 (Black), EVGA Supernova 750g Modular PSU, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, Asus next gen wifi card.

I'll call it 9 months. Wait for that PS4 baby to grow before the master race takes advantage of it.

It's one thing to emulate something outdated, it's another to emulate a brand new system.

Well because it's X86 theres no reason that a "hacker" couldn't get it to work. 

Not to mention that Kaveri APU's will be able to utilize HSA, Which is the main thing that seperates the ps4 from the pc

its x86 architecture using cut down PC hardware there is no reason for there not to be an emulator except for legal reasons 

this is what i meant.

I don't see why you would want to emulate it other than exclusives. Also, you'd have to buy a optical drive if you don't have one.

Why would you need a optical drive?

Mainly only for exclusives. Just incase there's a "The Last of Us" sequal.

I emulate using disks so it's pretty much legal.

 

Legal stuff shouldn't matter.

Plenty of ways to emulate a optical drive virtually like ISO's with daemon tools and others, so an optical drive isn't needed if it even requires emulation of a drive to make it work.

LOL "pretty much legal"  I really don't know what to think about the time-frame, yeah it is x86, but the UMA is also a totally different architecture then on a PC.  I don't know how difficult it would be to emulate.

legal reasons do not matter nobody cares when it comes to emulators 

ok. i guess i could care less about emulators in general :P

Contary to popular belief, it is actually not necessarily true that these consoles will be any easier to emulate than their predecessors.

The original Xbox used an x86 CPU, yet remains one of the most difficult consoles to emulate. As far as I am aware infact it is yet to be emulated successfully.

Around 5 years.

 

I say this simply because an emulator, running on top of an operating system, running a virtual machine-type application with a game console, with all the hardware performance and graphic optimizations will require a lot of overhead processing power and a long development period to not only getting it working with the dashboard-interface, but to get it running games at the same frame-rate and visuals as the actual hardware.

 

Every graphical optimization they make not only to the system but what developers make to specific games will be tuned specifically for that hardware, essentially you're going to have to emulate all those improvements, tweaks and even workarounds to get many games working. This'll involve constant tweaking to whatever virtual driver is used to talk to the GPU, they'll also likely run into compatibility problems going between GPU vendors/platforms (AMD -> Nvidia), especially if they need to re-implement many of these workarounds developers write for a console GPU to squeeze the performance out of the console hardware.
