1: You need to find out which games the emulator can run.

• status-nothing: Games that crash when trying to launch or only show a black screen
• status-boots: Games that show any visual/audio output but freeze/crash before reaching the menu.
• status-menus: Games that can reach the menu but freeze/crash when trying to proceed further.
• status-ingame: Games that can reach gameplay but have issues.
• status-playable: Games that can be run without any issues.
2: If the game you want is playable or ingame, you can download the emulator either from its own site or from github.
Click the download button above and from the Qt (GUI) section, download the version suitable for your operating system.

3: Unzip the archive.
4: PS4 system modules.
ShadPS4 can load some PlayStation 4 firmware files, these must be dumped from your legally owned PlayStation 4 console.
The following firmware modules are supported and must be placed in shadPS4's user/sys_modules
folder.

libSceJson.sprx | libSceJson2.sprx | libSceLibcInternal.sprx | libSceNgs2.sprx |
libSceRtc.sprx | libSceUlt.sprx |
5: Runing ShadPS4 for the first time.
Emulator will ask you to create a game folder. I recommend creating a folder “games” in the ShadPS4 folder. It will keep your pkg file extracted here.
6: Download the correct version of the game.
Game serial and Game version must be identical. Otherwise, your game may not launch or could encounter unexpected errors.
(If you want to check compatibility on ShadPS4 site, you can get more information by clicking on the game.)
To make sure the game is correct: Open the ShadPS4 application, click on "Settings" at the top left, select "GUI," then click on "Game Compatibles" on the right, and click both of them.
7: Game installation.
To import your PKG file, simply drop it onto the ShadPS4 application Afterwards you can delete the pkg file downloaded.
8: Keyboard and Mouse Mappings.
