Nice more ways for my friends to play gravity rush 2

 

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

With all these new features, bug fixes and optimizations it's an excellent upgrade to a great PS4 emulator for more powerful PCs.

I have a 10 year old CPU and 9 year old GPU and it can run Bloodborne fine.
RPCS3, Xenia, Xemu and Ryujinx are far more demanding

 

[Heinzu]

Oh a Playstation 4 emulator just awesome, I hope it will be further developed.

Did Shad reinstate the PKG installation option?

 

[Gabrinius]

i will try it someday, there's not many ps4 games i want to play and most of them have PC versions or switch (which emulator runs most games with very good performance for me).

but i'd like to check the (certainly horrible) ps4 sakura wars and the (horrible too) valkyria revolution which doesn't run good in vita3k. oh, and gran turismo 7.

well, i don't think my computer will be able to run the emulator
