# Status
In development, small games are working like [**Sonic Mania**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHoNzhHyCU), [**Undertale**](https://youtu.be/5zIvdy65Ro4), [**Dysmantle**](https://youtu.be/b9xzhLBdESE) and others...
# Why?
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.
