Amazing this is where we are 11 years on,

https://shadps4.emutube.com/

40ish games listed as playable

Nintendo just needs to make their consoles have good graphics and the emulation will never be sorted out

 

[AlphaBravo]

Don't you mean "The Bloodborne emulator 0.40".

It's going to be cool when this gets an official flatpak, true portable ps4 on the fly.

 

[console]

I looking to use shadPS4 emulator to play Dragon Quest Builder and Dragon Quest Builder 2 game. Then Final Fantasy games then go random like Bloodborne, etc games. Hope most games should working great.

Are you referring to flatpak and portability because of the Steam Deck? Because shadPS4 is an AppImage... I haven't personally tried it with the latest release, but you can check on youtube and reddit, shadPS4 works fine...

1. It's not going to run very quickly.
2. why would it need to be a flat pack?

What no 3?

Ah thought it was Windows only at the moment but yes.

 

[Spider_Man]

Commence all the shitty steamdeck users seeing the word "Linux" and like cannon fodder posting to reddit asking why they cant run PS4 games.

What would be even more funny is if this emulator is able to run PS4 games on PC better than Sonys very own shitty PC ports.

Its like, how hard really is it to Port a game built on a console using pc structure.

But then again, look how poor sony are when it comes to emulating it's older systems when we've already got if not perfect emulators, they're almost as bad as nintendo.

You do realize that both DQ Builder games are available on Steam with no Denuvo or any other DRM*, right?

*I don't consider Steam's built in stuff DRM because it is just a single dll replacement to bypass and thus might as well not exist.

That's right. I already know that.

Dragon Quest Builders is cracked by scene group name is TENOKE for PC.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is cracked by scene group name is CODEX for PC.


Anytime in the future if new Windows operating system maybe will break compatible on most PC games. Means will force us and people to use emulators instead from standard program and games. I hate when it's broke and we are not able to play old PC games due to new Windows operating system later in the future due to break compatible is one biggest problem.

I will always prefer emulators for all operating system include Linux, MAC and Windows over standard programs and games not to worry about break down games. Save data can transfer between different operating system and keep any game running on current game save data can bring us in right time much faster like worry free means hassle free. Everyone will not lost their game save data files when switch different operating systems anytime.

imressive to be able to emulate the ps4...

 

[Jayro]

Yeah, it sounds too close to Shadman... It should have been something more like "PCSX4" or whatever.

 

[ZeroFX]

bloodborne emulator reminds me of the breath of the wild emulator, good luck to him, nice emulator.

 

[Jayinem]

Sorry but all that matters when it comes to PS4 emulation are exclusives. This is all of them it's pretty slim pickings other than Bloodborne and a few others like Crash Racing Nitro Fueled. (which was on PS4/Xbox One but not PC) and having Uncharted Trilogy remastered for PC owners would be cool.

Also if they can get Fist of the North Star Lost Paradise working it is good made by the same studio that do Like a Dragon. Definitely worth checking out for fans of Yakuza. And a few other good ones like Last Guardian and Infamous Second Son/Last Light.
