The PS4 emulator, shadPS4, has been making amazing progress. Bloodborne is almost playable now. I've seen many people on X asking how to set everything up, so I decided to write down the steps.

Get the Latest shadPS4

The safest way to get the latest shadPS4 is from their GitHub:

https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/actions

Select the latest build with a green checkmark, scroll down the page and find shadps4-win64-qt:

shadps4_github

Don't download from any other sites, as they may contain malware.

Get the Game

The game is around 29GB, you can find it with Google.

If you need to find the 1.09 update, you must match it with your game's serial number. The game serial is shown in the shadPS4 game list. For example, CUSA03173.

Get the Patches

After completing the above steps, right-click the game, select Patches, download all the patches, and activate the ones you need. For example, you can apply patches to skip the intro, enable 60 FPS, or enable 4K resolution, etc.
