The team behind the best PlayStation 4 emulator, shadPS4, has released a brand new version of it. Version 0.3.0 comes with a lot of improvements, and it most likely includes all the custom fixes that were made for Bloodborne. So, let’s take a look at it.
shadPS4 V0.3.0 brings Cheat/Patching support, as well as DLS support. Moreover, it now has support for around 26 languages. The emulator now comes with support for unlocking trophies, as well as for more controllers (Dualshock and Xbox). Plus, the devs have made a lot of GUI improvements.
Do note that old save files may no longer be compatible with this new version of it. As such, the devs recommend following this guide before updating. So, if you’ve been playing any PS4 games with it, I suggest taking a look at the guide.
Although I couldn’t find a video for version 0.3.0, I’ve added a video from the previous version, 0.2.1. In this video, you can see the PS4 emulator running games like Yakuza 0 and Gravity Rush Remastered. The emulator can also launch Sleeping Dogs. Sadly, though it can’t play it yet. Lastly, Bloodborne has improved a lot since version 0.2.0.
You can go ahead and download the emulator from this link.
Since shadPS4 can run Bloodborne, I’m interested to see when we’ll see other PS4-only games running on it. Gran Turismo 7, The Order 1886 and The Last Guardian are the games that immediately come to mind. The Order 1886 is still one of the best-looking PS4 games. So, it would be cool if PC gamers could experience it at 4K with 60fps.
Anyway, there is nothing more to share at this point. As I said before, I’m impressed with what the shadPS4 team has accomplished. So, here is hoping that they continue working at this frenetic pace.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Wow that's amazing these guys coming along really well. I might have to try bloodborne since it has such a great rep.
Glad to see PS4 emulation finally becoming a reality. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games but it runs like crap. If Sony ever brought it to PC at this point, it'd likely be a remake and Bluepoint butchered the art style of Demon's Souls.
DS wasn't very faithful in terms of art for every area but the graphics are still astonishing for what it is, original looks like trash in comparison regardless of the few artistic differences I wish were avoided.
Small typo John, it's The Order: 1886, not 1866. You're off by 20 years. 🙂
That guide is a discord link to a message to a server I can't find an invite to.
Kind of hard to use a guide that I can't read.
looking forward to the order and driveclub… then gt7. If those 3 will be playable sooner or later will be really great, especially first two
John: The Last Guardian
Me: Shadow of the Colossus*
Both, though Guardian had some of the worst performance in existence on regular PS4, that sh*t ran at 18-20 fps.
Meh… I have downloaded a few "little" games, and so far, NONE of them work.
(btw, yes, I know, I have them on PC already. I just wanted to try!)

I smell Sonys' C&D letter any minute. They are the Nintendo peers as well.
What Sony does instead is prevent the roms of their first party games from being available.
Nobody is Nintendo's peer when it comes to being a disgusting, anti consumer piece of a sh*t company, no one even comes close.
And yet they sell most consoles and exclusive games than any others. btw, Xbox aka Microsoft is over 9 thousand evil, just check MS crime record
its great to see the progress. It will be hilarious if they announce a lot of the PS4 ports people wanted at the state of play today. Bloodborne, Infamous, Uncharted Collection so many more as you also mention.
