How to run the latest Work-in-Progress builds of ShadPS4

  1. Go to https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/actions and make sure you are logged into your GitHub account (important!)

  2. On the left side of the page, select your operating system of choice (the "qt" versions have a user interface, which is probably the one you want. The others are SDL versions, which can only be run via command line). image

  3. In the workflow list, select the latest entry with a green ✅ icon in front of it. (or the latest entry for whatever pull request you wish to test). image

  4. On the bottom of this page, select the name of the file, and it should start downloading. (If there is no file here, double check that you are indeed logged into a GitHub account, and that there is a green ✅ icon. image

  5. Once downloaded, extract to its own folder, and run ShadPS4's executable from the extracted folder.

  6. Upon first launch, ShadPS4 will prompt you to select a folder to store your installed games in. Select "Browse" and then select a folder that ShadPS4 can use to install your PKG files to.

Install PKG files

To install PKG files (game and updates), you will need the Qt application (with UI). You will have to go to "File" then to "Install Packages (PKG)", a window will open then you will have to select the files. You can install multiple PKG files at once. Once finished, the game should appear in the application.

Configure the emulator

You can configure the emulator in the "user" folder (created after the first start of the application) then in the "config.toml" file. Here you can find lots of parameters to set with True or False.
