Status

[!IMPORTANT] shadPS4 is early in developement, don't expect a flawless experience.

Currently, the emulator successfully runs small games like Sonic Mania, Undertale and it can even somewhat run Bloodborne.

Why

This project began as a fun project. Given our limited free time, it may take some time before shadPS4 can run more complex games, but we're committed to making small, regular updates.
