shadPS4
An early PS4 emulator for Windows and Linux
Status
Currently it can only load PS4 ELF files.
Progress is focus on videoout_basic.elf from sdk demos , currently it can load and run a few HLE calls. Others probably won't run since they might not be able to relocate all neccesary functions
Elf Loader
Logging system
Everything else
Why?
The project started as a fun project. Due to short amount of free time probably it will take a while since it will be able to run something decent but I am trying to do regular small commits.
