shadPS4

An early PS4 emulator for Windows and Linux

Check us on twitter

Status

Currently it can only load PS4 ELF files.

Progress is focus on videoout_basic.elf from sdk demos , currently it can load and run a few HLE calls. Others probably won't run since they might not be able to relocate all neccesary functions

Elf Loader

Logging system

Everything else

Why?

The project started as a fun project. Due to short amount of free time probably it will take a while since it will be able to run something decent but I am trying to do regular small commits.

Build

Linux

Generate the build directory in the shadPS4 directory:

cmake -S . -B build/

Enter the directory:

Contribution

I currently accept any kind of contribution, here is a list of some items that may be useful:

  • PKG extractor (there was an initial work on this, just search project history commits).
  • Initial GUI with imgui, SDL3 and Vulkan.
  • Better logging system with spdlog.
  • to be filled...
