Title: Using PS4 to run MAME
Post by: Sshado on December 04, 2014, 10:59:29 am

Can you use the Playstation 4 to run MAME? I was going to sell my PS4 because I never used it. I was planning on building a MAME Arcade, but I would save money if I could just use the PS4, is this doable?

Just return it as an "unwanted Christmas present" in a few weeks.

Use it as a media center or sell it and buy a cheap P4 or dual core and you could mame fine on it

PS4 hasn't been hacked so there isn't any way to run mame. Better get some cheap PC with Core2Duo E8500 or new PC with G3258 (needs overclocking) or i3 4160.
