shadPS4
An early PS4 emulator for Windows and Linux written in C++
Status
Currently, it can only load PS4 ELF files.
Progress is focused on videoout_basic.elf from SDK demos, currently, it can load with fully working graphics. Others probably won't run since they might not be able to relocate all necessary functions
Elf Loader
Logging system
Everything else
Why?
The project started as a fun project. Due to short free time, it will probably take a while since it will be able to run something decent, but I am trying to do regular small commits.
