About shadPS4

shadPS4 is an early PlayStation 4 emulator for Windows, Linux and macOS written in C++.

For ease of use, this Flatpak distribution of shadPS4 bundles the latest stable release

of the emulator with the official shadPS4 Qt Launcher as a GUI front-end. The launcher in

the Flatpak distribution is pre-set to use the bundled emulator and cannot download or run

other versions. If you want the ability to select different versions of shadPS4, please

download the AppImage release from the shadPS4 website instead.

The emulator is still early in development, so don't expect a flawless experience. Nonetheless, the emulator

can already run a number of commercial games.
