Does not appear to pass WP:GNG. I could only find one article in a secondary source about the emulator, which isn't enough to establish notability. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 22:02, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Found more coverage in Input Magazine and TechSpot. While I'm not too happy with what I found, the fact that it is the first PS4 emulator software + there being some coverage for the game pushes me towards keeping for now. Jumpytoo Talk 05:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TechSpot is a known unreliable source per WP:VG/RS and both of these sources are WP:RUNOFTHEMILL-esque articles. The Pinput one boils down to "It exists. It runs ~300 games." This is not significant coverage. IceWelder [✉] 13:28, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

TechSpot is in the "Inconclusive" section of VGRS, not the "Unreliable" section. While yeah I'm not happy with the sources either, the emulator is the main topic of all 3 articles which in my view is still SIGCOV, making this emulator just barely pass the bar for GNG.

Delete as a lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. The best match in known relaible sources is this short news article, which is not sufficient to call it in-depth coverage. IceWelder [✉] 13:28, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
