A PlayStation 4 emulator which was just started.

Nevertheless, GPCS4 could prove an interesting project to keep an eye on and Inori has also shared a planned roadmap on the project's GitHub page. You can also head there to find more details about GPCS4 or even try it out. For the latter, according to the GitHub page, you'll need "a CPU supporting AVX instruction set as well as a graphics card supporting Vulkan 1.3".

First commercial game support, We are Doomed. Thanks to our developers.
This is a previous running result of Nier:Automata. It is not correct yet, and I'll try to improve it.

Cemu - Wii U Emulator​

Experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on PC

• Reworked title management from the ground up
  • Scanning for titles should be a lot faster. Very noticable if you have a large library
  • Updates and DLC no longer need to be installed. Cemu can now detect and load them directly from the game path folders
  • The title manager window no longer is restricted to showing only one entry per title id, making it easier to manage duplicates
• Introducing support for a new file format for games which we dubbed Wii U archive (.wua):
  • Supports multiple titles in a single file (e.g. a game combined with it's update and DLC)
  • Cemu can play them directly and display them in the game list
  • Uses compression, resulting in a smaller size than WUX or extracted folder format
  • Lossless, can be converted back to the original files
  • You can easily convert any of your games into .wua format via the Title...
