How to run the latest Work-in-Progress builds of shadPS4

  1. Go to https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/releases In the release identified as 'pre-release' click on the down arrow(Assets), select your operating system of choice (the "qt" versions have a user interface, which is probably the one you want. The others are SDL versions, which can only be run via command line). image

  2. Once downloaded, extract to its own folder, and run shadPS4's executable from the extracted folder.

  3. Upon first launch, shadPS4 will prompt you to select a folder to store your installed games in. Select "Browse" and then select a folder that contains your dumped games.

Configure the emulator

To configure the emulator, you can go through the interface and go to "settings".

You can also configure the emulator by editing the config.toml file located in the user folder created after the application is started (Mostly useful if you are using the SDL version). Some settings may be related to more technical development and debugging.
For more information on this, see Debugging.
