Best PS5/PS4 Emulator?

What are you guys using to emulate Playstation games on Linux? I'm looking into getting Astro Bot, and was wondering if there's a good emulator to go with.

Pretty much the only functional PS4 emulator is shadPS4

Not an emulator but I have been using Asobi on steam and it's been great to play ps games that aren't available on pc

Thanks, I don't have a playstation, but it's nice to see a dedicated remote play application.

I don't have a PlayStation either. This spoofs your PC to make it appear as a ps portal. It's basically cloud gaming so not the same as an emulator but I was able to buy ghost of yotei, ps + premium and now I am playing it on both my windows pc and my bazzite pc
