## How to run the latest Work-in-Progress builds of shadPS4
|
|
|
|
1. Go to <https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/releases> In the release identified as 'pre-release' click on the down arrow(Assets), select your operating system of choice (the "**qt**" versions have a user interface, which is probably the one you want. The others are SDL versions, which can only be run via command line).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Once downloaded, extract to its own folder, and run shadPS4's executable from the extracted folder.
|
|
|
|
3. Upon first launch, shadPS4 will prompt you to select a folder to store your installed games in. Select "Browse" and then select a folder that contains your dumped games.
|
|
|
|
## Configure the emulator
|
|
|
|
To configure the emulator, you can go through the interface and go to "settings".
|
|
|
|
You can also configure the emulator by editing the `config.toml` file located in the `user` folder created after the application is started (Mostly useful if you are using the SDL version).
|
|
Some settings may be related to more technical development and debugging.\
