ShadPS4 Changelog:

Here we are again with an early Christmas gift. Santa may not have arrived at your home just yet, but shadPS4 will. This release features the long-anticipated Bloodborne speedup fix, along with numerous AJM fixes from our talented developer, Roamic, who diligently addressed some peculiar sound issues (God of War 3 and other games now nearly have flawless sound). Additionally, there are many more fixes; I’ll attempt to summarize as best as I can below. This release is dedicated to Matthew, who contributed significantly to setting up our new shadps4.net site, so a shoutout to him as well. Merry Christmas to everyone. Let’s hope the new year brings world peace and a little more reason out there. Thank you all for your support!
