I want to develop a Sony PlayStation 4 emulator from scratch by using Visual Studio 2022 Preview Enterprise Edition but I don't know how or where to start.
 
I already know how to program and develop Visual C++ applications with Visual Studio.
 
But I must know how a real Sony PlayStation 4 console really work, how does a real Sony PlayStation 4 console reads a Sony PlayStation 4 disc and how a real Sony PlayStation 4 console plays a Sony PlayStation 4 rom/game from a Sony PlayStation 4 disc.
 
Is Sony PlayStation 4 documented somewhere?

Good luck on this you'll likely be doing a lot of trial and error to get it working. The ps4 system is totally proprietary and not open source knowledge.

Sony very likely does not want people creating emulators of their products, so as stated above. Good luck.
