One of the most recent PlayStation 4 emulators, Shadps4, has made major strides in emulating Bloodborne on PC, with some promising progress to report.\u00a0 A YouTube video from Sunday, Aug. 18, shows the latest 0.2.1 version of the emulator running the game's alpha version on PC. The 30-second video showcases the game fully booting up and the character being able to move for a few seconds, although with broken audio, before eventually crashing. Another video, released the same day, shows gameplay of the alpha test on the emulator but with the character fully mobile without crashing. Here, the game is running in windowed mode and the display is in all red. The former video, on the other hand, shows the game running in full picture and color. The previous 0.1.1 version of the emulator released earlier this month could only run the game up until the character menus before crashing. This recent release proves that progress is moving fast, with fans excited, with comments like \"Okay, this is madness\" and \"Every day we\u2019re closer!\" highlighting their optimism. A PC port of Bloodborne has been highly requested for several years now. However, as the years go by, it's becoming increasingly unlikely that we see an official one any time soon. As such, hardcore fans have taken it upon themselves to port the title to the platform on the emulator along with other games such as Persona 5, One Piece Odyssey, and more. While development on Shadps4 still has a long way to go, its potential looks promising.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/maria-bloodborne-cover.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1317284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2269"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1317284"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1317284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1317329,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1317284\/revisions\/1317329"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1246291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1317284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1317284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1317284"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1317284"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1317284"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1317284"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1317284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
