To get the latest news, go to our X (Twitter) or our website.
For those who'd like to donate to the project, we now have a Kofi page!

Status

Important

shadPS4 is early in development, don't expect a flawless experience.

Currently, the emulator can successfully run games like Bloodborne, Dark Souls Remastered, Red Dead Redemption and many other games.

Why

This project began as a fun project. Given our limited free time, it may take some time before shadPS4 can run more complex games, but we're committed to making small, regular updates.

Building

Windows

Check the build instructions for Windows.

Linux

Check the build instructions for Linux.

macOS

Check the build instructions for macOS.

Important

macOS users need at least macOS 15 on Apple Silicon-based Mac devices and at least macOS 14 on Intel-based Mac devices.

Debugging and reporting issues

For more information on how to test, debug and report issues with the emulator or games, read the Debugging documentation.

Contributors

Special Thanks

A few noteworthy teams/projects who've helped us along the way are:

  • Panda3DS: A multiplatform 3DS emulator from our co-author wheremyfoodat. They have been incredibly helpful in understanding and solving problems that came up from natively executing the x64 code of PS4 binaries

  • fpPS4: The fpPS4 team has assisted massively with understanding some of the more complex parts of the PS4 operating system and libraries, by helping with reverse engineering work and research.

  • yuzu: Our shader compiler has been designed with yuzu's Hades compiler as a blueprint. This allowed us to focus on the challenges of emulating a modern AMD GPU while having a high-quality optimizing shader compiler implementation as a base.

  • hydra: A multisystem, multiplatform emulator (chip-8, GB, NES, N64) from Paris.
