Yes, next-gen consoles often use virtualization or emulation to run older games.

I just explored some PS4 emulators since I really want to play Bloodborne! (That’s a rare title). There are sites saying they have functional versions but I’m unsure how reliable they are. They often share video evidence, which might not always be genuine. One example is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/ghaststeam/PS4EMX. Anyone with experience or advice would be great. I don’t want any harmful software on my computer. Thanks!
Absolutely not, don't try to download it. There aren't any who've managed to perfectly recreate the old consoles yet. The closest anyone has done is keeping the main menu running.
Unless you can obtain the original source files, the best choice is purchasing the hardware. The X360 and PS3 have not been fully emulated yet.
Currently, no such tools exist. Beyond the PS3 BIOS emulator, there aren't any available for the 360. A powerful computer would still be required even for a basic version.
