* page_manager: Enable userfaultfd by default * Much faster than page faults and causes less problems * shader_recompiler: Add texel buffer multiplier * Fixes format mismatch assert when vsharp stride is multiple of format stride * shader_recompiler: Specialize UBOs on size * Some games can perform manual vertex pulling and thus bind read only buffers of varying size. We only recompile when the vsharp size is larger than size in shader, in opposite case its not needed * clang format |

shadPS4
General information
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.
To verify that a game works, you can look at shadPS4 Game Compatibility.

For those who'd like to donate to the project, we now have a Kofi page!
Status
Important
shadPS4 is early in development, don't expect a flawless experience.
Currently, the emulator can successfully run games like Bloodborne, Dark Souls Remastered, Red Dead Redemption and many other games.
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.
Building
Windows
Check the build instructions for Windows.
Linux
Check the build instructions for Linux.
macOS
Check the build instructions for macOS.
Important
macOS users need at least macOS 15 on Apple Silicon-based Mac devices and at least macOS 14 on Intel-based Mac devices.
Debugging and reporting issues
For more information on how to test, debug and report issues with the emulator or games, read the Debugging documentation.

Special Thanks
A few noteworthy teams/projects who've helped us along the way are:
-
Panda3DS: A multiplatform 3DS emulator from our co-author wheremyfoodat. They have been incredibly helpful in understanding and solving problems that came up from natively executing the x64 code of PS4 binaries
-
fpPS4: The fpPS4 team has assisted massively with understanding some of the more complex parts of the PS4 operating system and libraries, by helping with reverse engineering work and research.
-
yuzu: Our shader compiler has been designed with yuzu's Hades compiler as a blueprint. This allowed us to focus on the challenges of emulating a modern AMD GPU while having a high-quality optimizing shader compiler implementation as a base.
