To the point where is really isnt freebsd anymore. Most of the games will depend on various additional propriety apis and libraries etc as well. I would expect OSX is a closer pairing to freebsd than the PS4 os, but you wouldnt expect an apple app to work on freebsd so I think getting ps4 games to run is a non starter. Many os's have borrowed code from freebsd in the past. A lot of the reason for this is the less restrictive license compared to linux. eg NT4 had freebsd's ip stack, junos was forked from freebsd ages ago, netscalers are based on freebsd 8.4 ironports are freebsd based there are many others as well On 23 August 2016 at 09:05, Luca Ferrari wrote: > On Sat, Aug 6, 2016 at 3:03 PM, Steve O'Hara-Smith > wrote: > > On Sat, 6 Aug 2016 13:24:30 +0200 > > CeDeROM wrote: > > > >> Playstation4 runs on FreeBSD :-) > > > > I'll bet you can't get a FreeBSD PC to play any PS4 games though. > > > > Uhm..that's interesting. > I've got a few months to decide which game machine to get for my son, > and I was wondering to build one by myself.
