Stay Tuned..

First homebrew game working
by in A small homebrew from Niko . We can now play tetris with controls 🙂
Shadps4 first version v0.0.1
by in Although it is already available from other sources , here is a direct link for the first shadps4 release. Currently only one demo from ps4 sdk works (check the previous post) but be sure the next release will have more working stuff.
shadps4 v0.0.1
First release of shadps4 emulator . Currently only videoout basic demo works
705 Downloads
First working demo.
by in Fixed tile decoding and we have our first demo running . This demo is a basic sample from official ps4 sdk demo. Although is quite simple one (which needed 20k lines of codes to work) , it shows that this emulator is quite promising. Stay tuned for more updates.
First emulator output
by in Today we have the first output from videoout_basic demo. It is still buggy since it is missing correct tile decoding but we are getting close 🙂
18th September 2023 update
by in Although there was quite a time since last update , that doesn’t mean that shadps4 doesn’t have updates.
Currently all the neccesary HLE calls for videoOut_basic demo has been implemented and we are quite close to run some graphics.
At the current state we are adding vulkan render among with our sdl3 frontend. Vulkan is very powerful but also quite complex. We are expecting demo to work at the end of the month though.
Keep an eye on the site , we will probably have some more excited news soon 🙂
Developing
July 2023 progress report
by in Hi to all,
Although progress is quite slow due to my primary work , there is some progress on shadps4 emulator.
The main focus of developing is on getting a simple ps4 sdk demo to work (videoout_basic.elf) . This appears to be a quite simple graphical demo.
So what is the progress on it so far?
- It loads using elf loader
- Resolve,patch and rellocate all neccesary libraries-functions in HLE . Most of the function are dummy atm.
- Executes code up to the first unimplemented HLE function (at the time running this report is sceKernelMapDirectMemory function.
So what’s next?
Implementing some more HLE functions and getting the demo proccess further. Optimal goal is to get it running by the end of August.
Can it run/load other demos or commercial games?
Well shadps4 supports elf,self loading but since developing is focused on that particular demo it probably won’t do something interesting . Most probably it will get stucked in resolving unimplemented HLE functions.
