Saturn2PS4 brings Sega Saturn emulation to PS4.

Scene Developer Cyb1k has backported Saturn emulation to older PS4 firmwares, and Markus95 has released a script called Saturn2PS4 that converts Saturn games into FPKG packages that can be installed and run on the PS4. The emulator is based on SSF, but has its own limitations, and not all Saturn games will work with this technique. Users will need a hacked PS4 to install the FPKG files obtained through this script.
