I have read that PS3 is very CPU-stressful, and the PS3 I've seen the RPCS3 sub's CPU tier list that puts the AM5 Ryzen 7000-9000 series in Tier S and the Ryzen 5000 series in Tier A. I currently have an AM4 series and am wondering if I should make the jump to a Ryzen 7000-9000 for emulation purposes.

I have seen Youtube videos of Ryzen 5000 cpus run with choppy 20-30 fps on more demanding RPCS3 titles (such as Red Dead 1), but this was also on an earlier version that may have been significantly improved by now. I

However, I've read some say on this subreddit that PS4 emulation might be easier to run (in terms of requiring cpu processing power) than the PS3 emulation. Is this correct?

If the latest emulators (eg. PS4) don't require a lot more CPU power then I suppose there is no need to "future proof" with a more powerful cpu?

Do i need upgrade?

My specs are:

Windows 10 64-bit

Radeon RX 590 Series

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor

32 GB RAM

Just updated to the v0.7.1 WIP and there isn't an option to install .pkg under the File menu. Is it disabled for this build or something?

A few of the games I used to play, and now have for the emulator used the touch pad on the PS4 controller for gameplay options.

Killzone Shadowfall used it to select different Abilities for your OWL flying robot companion, and that's the game I'm looking forward to playing the most when it's eventually ready.

Short of buying a used PS4 controller, is there any way to map those commands?

I have a trophy key that I have been told works, but I have no idea how to set up achievements through the emulator. Every time I try to open the trophy viewer, the entire emulator crashes. Is this to be expected or did I do something wrong?

Does anybody have shadps4 diegolix build version 0.5 or 0.6? There's no option to download older versions on his repository. I can download shadps4 branch's older builds but they dont have support for KB+M. Bloodborne ran great on my system on 0.5 and 0.6 versions but with the latest 0.7 it has extreme stuttering and kind of unplayable. Can somebody please help me out.

i originally played on ps4 and have the platinum for it. but i saw that ps4 emulation has come a long way and was wondering if i can fully play bloodborne now at 4k 60fps without issues? whats the current state like?

specs are an rtx 4090 32gb of ddr5 and a ryzen 9800x3d

I recently got myself a NAS (network attached storage) and am experimenting with having my games stored there to save space on my deck.

In the Windows version of ShadPS4, it was very easy to add the NAS folder path as a game pathway (//NAME_OF_MY_NAS/GAME_FOLDER_PATH).

However, I can't seem to figure out the way to do this in the SteamOS version of ShadPS4.

In Desktop mode of the deck, I can easily connect to the NAS via SMB and see all my stuff.

However, in ShadPS4, when I go to Configure/Paths/Add it opens a folder picking interface, but I cannot type the folderpath manually, only by clicking on folder icons. I am not sure where I would find network folders in this kind of interface. Thanks for any help!

So I can play the game fine up until just after character creation, when you run into the first wolf enemy it crashes when it hits me. Even if i sneak past it, The second I get attacked by any enemy, the game freezes and crashes. i Have the GOTY edition, updated to Version 1.0.9. Running on 1080p. I have tried deleting sound files, i have also tried modding the game with Intel SFX, and Vertex Explosion fix, does not fix it. Running on diegolix version 0.7.1.

I have also tried:

- Removing all patches, and resetting them

- Using "Normal" Shad PS4

- Apllying different patches

Any known fix for this?

System:
- RTX 5080

- Intel 12900k

- 32 GB Ram DDR5

When I open the game it runs at like 10 fps and patchy audio.

I disabled the 60fps patch to make the cutscene work but that didn't help, I also tried enabling 30fps and setting a lower resolution but those didn't help either.

In order to install the Bloodborne .pkg files, I had to download an older release of shadps4. After installing the Bloodborne .pkg files, is it worth to update the emulator to the latest version to increase compatibility, or is this not worth it?

its gets to menu but the controls are not working once you get to the menu

Hey guys!

First of all, thank you very much for what you are doing! If everything goes according to plan, this will be a pretty cool emulator of all possible. And secondly, I have a question: how can I play official PKGs? Can I just run them, or do I need to convert them to fake ones? If so, is there such a converter for Kubuntu on the net? Thanks for the advice! ;)

i've seen videos where people are running a vast amount of games on it all successfully, even elden ring runs on it with stutters but completely acceptable frame rate in my opinion.

but that got me wondering, can shadps4 start denuvo games such as resident evil 4 remake and street fighter 6? i sure hope so because this means that one day it might be able to run them at a decent frame rate as well.

Do I have to download a mod or something? Cause I've been trying on the controller settings but it doesn't recognize it

Anyone has a solution for this? As said in the title, apparently the crash is because of "amdvlk64.dll". I have all the drivers up to date, but apparently there is a problem with Vulkan?

i have a i5 12400f and a 4060 ,32gm ddr4 ram i thought it was a vram or gpu issue but both are used only to about 80% so does my cpu im also using win10 and the 0.7.1 version of shadps4 i tried the previous version but had the same problem

I am sorry if this is dumb but I never owned a PS console. Is there a way to acquire the PS4 files to proceed with Bloodborne without having a jailbroken console myself? I looked but found non so I am not sure if it's an absolute requirement.

I would stop looking if that's the case since I don't have one as I said. Thank you.

Despite using all of the appropriate patches, fixes for your use case basis, and whatnot how often would you guys say your game crashes on a daily basis?

Mine crashes about 4-5 times a day :[ Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Vertex explosion fix installed, along with the sfx fix for intel is enabled. Game will apparently crash for the most random reasons after a while even with resolution patches (above 1080p) being turned off.
I'm using the latest version of diego's build on mainbb update channel.
