Statement on Piracy and Illegal Acts

When dumping video game software, users are subject to country-specific software distribution laws. GPCS4 is not designed to enable illegal activity. We do not promote piracy nor do we allow it under any circumstances. Any users conversing about piracy upon joining the Discord server, forums or GitHub community will receive administrative action. Please take the time to review copyright and video game software dumping laws and/or policies for your country before proceeding.

By using GPCS4 you must agree that you own a real device (Playstation 4/Playstation 4 Pro) for the operation of the emulator and using legal/original games for emulation as we do not support piracy at any cost.

Development and Experimentation

All information was obtained legally by purchasing PlayStation 4 hardware and software. Additional information was obtained from various sources on the internet that include but is not limited to system hardware and software documentation.
