shadPS4 is an early PS4 emulator for Windows and Linux written in C++
If you encounter problems or have doubts, do not hesitate to look at the Quickstart.
To discuss shadPS4 development or suggest ideas, join the Discord server.
Check us on X (twitter) or on our website.
In development, small games are working like Sonic Mania, Undertale, Dysmantle and others...
The project started as a fun project. Due to limited free time, it will probably take a while before shadPS4 is able to run anything decent, but we're trying to make small, regular commits.
