# shadPS4

shadPS4 is an early **PlayStation 4** emulator for **Windows**, **Linux** and **macOS** written in C++

If you encounter problems or have doubts, do not hesitate to look at the [**Quickstart**](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/blob/main/documents/Quickstart/Quickstart.md).

To verify that a game works, you can look at [**shadPS4 Game Compatibility**](https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadps4-game-compatibility).

# 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.
