ShadPS4 – PlayStation 4 emulator

Genuine question - under the hood is this more of an emulator like PCSX2 or a compatibility layer like Wine?<p>Since the PS4 is more or less an x86 computer, I imagine most of the hard work would be implementing the system&#x2F;graphics APIs of the PS4. Or are there major hardware differences between an x86 PC and the PS4 that also need to be handled?

Awesome work. Emulators are in many ways some of the coolest things one can build.

Apparently is the first PS4 emulator that makes it to Bloodborne character screen.

How do people design emulators? Is there a good resource on how you can learn to do this?

Is there a design document or some other resource that highlights prior art &#x2F; previous attempts, and why this one is different?

This looks like an interesting project to follow! Given the current lack of a portable option from Sony it would be interesting to see how this might run on the Steam Deck.

Does this mean they created a DXVK equivalent for Gnm&#x2F;Gnmx?[0]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;PlayStation_4_system_software#System" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;PlayStation_4_system_software#...</a>

Latest progress for Bloodborne (what 99% of people are waiting for):<p>This is the dev&#x27;s youtube: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wC6s0avpQRE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=wC6s0avpQRE</a><p>I wonder what the hell Sony is doing still neglecting, almost vindictively, this S-tier culturally significant game. Are they waiting to use it for a launch PS6 title or what?

I’m curious. Is emulation development becoming easier these days now that modern consoles are essentially stripped down pc systems.

This reminds me that another PS4 emulator, called Spine, got some attention a couple years ago. I wonder what happened to that project.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;devofspine&#x2F;spine">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;devofspine&#x2F;spine</a><p>(No source code. Just binaries.)

This is so cool! How do you get a Mac to read a PS4 game storage medium?

This YouTube video by Modern Vintage Gamer might be an interesting watch, for people interested in PS4 emulators: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=KZvSEdFGyxE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=KZvSEdFGyxE</a>

I have a Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Floor Pedals. Do they compatible with this PS4 emulator?

Too soon. The PS4 is still an active platform with new games being released. This will get shut down right away.
