* Store platform-specific level in a separate variable So the level logged in the getsockopt/setsockopt unreachable is actually useful in cases where the level is unknown. * Define ORBIS_NET_IPPROTO_IPV6 Not implemented yet, but since it's known we might as well add it. * Fix error codes Our libSceNet code expects accurate ORBIS_NET_E* errors, while the sys_net code returns ORBIS_NET_ERROR_* errors. * Remove duplicate getsockname implementation * Use separate mutex for ReceivePacket calls Calls to ReceivePacket shouldn't block other socket functions, and allowing them to block these functions frequently causes deadlocks in games that use multiple threads for socket behaviors. That said, concurrent receives are still a potential issue, so the function should still have a mutex. * Add missing error codes * Clang * Minor nit Not sure why these were left separate from the rest of the net errnos * Set __Error() in ConvertReturnErrorCode Because the new error values are positive, the logic of "negative return is an error" doesn't work anymore. The easiest fix, while retaining corrected error values, is to just set __Error() in ConvertReturnErrorCode, and have that return -1 instead. I also added some formatting fixes here too. * Set errno on stubbed P2P socket error returns. Otherwise the errno is just whatever was set by a previous failing function, which may cause issues in some games. I used EAGAIN here since it appears to be valid for all three of these functions, but this can be changed if requested. * Fix missed error returns * Fix socket methods in file_system Missed these |

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.
To discuss shadPS4 development, suggest ideas or to ask for help, join our Discord server.
To get the latest news, go to our X (Twitter) or our website.
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
Important
If you want to use shadPS4 to play your games, you don't have to follow the build instructions, you can simply download the emulator from either the release tab or the action tab.
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 15.4 to run shadPS4. Due to GPU issues there are currently heavy bugs on Intel Macs.
Debugging and reporting issues
For more information on how to test, debug and report issues with the emulator or games, read the Debugging documentation.
Keyboard and Mouse Mappings
Note
Some keyboards may also require you to hold the Fn key to use the F* keys. Mac users should use the Command key instead of Control, and need to use Command+F11 for full screen to avoid conflicting with system key bindings.
Button | Function |
---|---|
F10 | FPS Counter |
Ctrl+F10 | Video Debug Info |
F11 | Fullscreen |
F12 | Trigger RenderDoc Capture |
Note
Xbox and DualShock controllers work out of the box.

Keyboard and mouse inputs can be customized in the settings menu by clicking the Controller button, and further details and help on controls are also found there. Custom bindings are saved per-game. Inputs support up to three keys per binding, mouse buttons, mouse movement mapped to joystick input, and more.
Firmware files
shadPS4 can load some PlayStation 4 firmware files, these must be dumped from your legally owned PlayStation 4 console.
The following firmware modules are supported and must be placed in shadPS4's sys_modules
folder.
Modules | Modules | Modules | Modules |
---|---|---|---|
libSceCesCs.sprx | libSceFont.sprx | libSceFontFt.sprx | libSceFreeTypeOt.sprx |
libSceJson.sprx | libSceJson2.sprx | libSceLibcInternal.sprx | libSceNgs2.sprx |
libSceRtc.sprx | libSceUlt.sprx |
Caution
The above modules are required to run the games properly and must be extracted from your PlayStation 4.

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.
