I have a very bad feeling ShadPS4 will get Yuzu'd once word starts spreading that Bloodborne is 100% playable from beginning to end on PC (albeit in a very buggy, unstable form).
game studios would go bankrupt from piracy and emulators if things worked like that. Sony would still get a lot of money if they made a bloodborne pc port
I cant wait to see them whine about the money they didn't make because they didn't plan ahead and put blame and make excuses about a problem they could have avoided
You see, the problem is that a Bloodborne PC port would make Sony some good money but Sony doesn't like making money, they like to spend and lose millions in forgettable hero shooters and the like.
make sure to add some "crash fix" keyword in the video title so more people come across it, i had the game game with no mods and you saved me, merry christmas stranger and thank you again

For as much as I would like to play Bloodborne on PC now, I think I'm going to wait until the game is playable on the main branch of ShadPS4, I waited a decade, I cannot see why I can't wait for a few months more.
It is playable on the main branch. Honestly, some of the info in this vid is out of date. For example, tessellation works just fine on the main branch currently. I've only needed the vertex explosion fix mod to play the game at a pretty stable 60fps at 1080p

And even then, I still get occasional crashes, slow-downs and broken textures while playing at 1080, so there's that.

wow, it's pretty much working. Thanks. Can't wait for the day there's (hopefully?) an official and easy version. But the fact I can play ps3 Demons Souls and ps4 Bloodborne on my pc FINALLY! is amazing.
From my experience - the version I've had the most luck with was the diegolix build of shadps4 (the mainbb branch for the most stable experience). It has all the effects (fire, fog, items etc) to my knowledge and I believe it also has Cainhurst snow effect as well. The only mod I'm playing with are the vertex explosion one (you can create your character on that build just fine. Create your character first and when you're in game, then install the mod so don't have to worry about the face disabled problem) and the L3 jump button one (for convenience). I was using the RAM spike mod as well but that build has updated so much that I don't notice much of a difference when I had the mod and I don't now. Maybe all this helps someone. Try it out. The game is definitely playable and very fun. One edit here - I enabled the patch "disable http request" in the patches option to try and reduce the crashes (I saw a guy on RUclips having this patch disabled as well when he was showing the game on Steam Deck) and it did the trick for me. I had the emulator crash on me every 5 mins. But after this patch, I could play for hours.
Can I change branches on the go? It wouldn't f up my save? I wonder as I'm using main branch nightly builds right now and it crashes randomly after 1.5-2h of playtime for me.
@@GrimmerPl It's pretty easy to just copy over the saves between branches to keep your progress going, you could also make a backup folder but I never had issues just moving them over.
hey im also on the main branch (v0.5.0). Everything works great. But some of the soundeffects dont work. Like it doesnt make a sound when i hit something. Did you have this problem?
man I've tried both the video's way of installing, as well as your way and it still crashes for me. The first time it started crashing, i downloaded the version of shadPS4 you suggested, and the game ran fine for an hour. But now it just crashes every time i go to the next room. Haven't made any other changes that would cause this.
Not sure what fork is running in this video, but as of today mainBB runs the game pretty much perfectly after the Vertex Explosion fix. Like, seriously - been playing the game for hours and haven't seen a single issue!
Just wanted to say thank you for the guide! I've been wanting to do a play-through of Bloodborne for the longest and have been able to do so since following your guide.
Highly recommend the Diegolix29 branch tagged mainBB, as long as you have the vertex explosion fix (for now) and turn on automatic updates you'll be golden. Funny how the video is already somewhat outdated, there's an update every day, often multiple times a day
@@Ghost-pb4ts Yup, haven't noticed any aberrations in the latest build, been 100% on that for roughly a week plus (last thing to get fixed was the pink Cainhurst snow
@@psynomic I think my comment got lost for link protection or something but just google diegolix29 shadps4 and look in "actions" to find the latest mainBB tagged build

Holy crap! I am so happy I had my buddy make me a digital copy of bloodbone years ago when he had a modded ps4...I knew it would come in handy sometime! I still own 2 physical copies, but I made 3 seperate digital copies also, just in case! Thank you so much for this video...I was able to get it working at 1440p 60FPS with almost no dips, and I'm not even using the FPS boost mod that you suggested...I do have a very high end PC though...I'm not even having too many graphical issues, except about every 30-40min the enemies turn invisible and I have to reload the game...Honestly, I will take that trade off to play at 60FPS! It is amazing! As soon as I get another paycheck I will be making donations to everyone involved...
Hey man i dont know where to "pirate" the game files, could you by any chance provide me the game files? marry christmas! and yes its so cool that this is possible nowdays. The Donation is a great idea i will do it too.

@@Xeraser2 not exactly, At 1440p the game starts stuttering every now and then while using a 4080 Super. Its not worth using 1440p rn anyways because the game crashes more often. Anything higher than 1080p and the game becomes unstable. If you look on the discussion forums for the mods that fix this game, the creator will warn you to not use 1440p or up.
Thank you for the guide it was really helpful. For some things I noticed myself by far: Some animations on bosses are glitched (cleric beast for example) Nightmare fog is more transparent then it should be I can't see blood echoes There is a whole texture missing in the sewage of central yharnam that lets see void I also downloaded intell procesor fix and my game is much less glitching while loading new terrains, otherwise the only problems I encountered were those mentioned in the video. Probably the BEST guide for BBPC on yt
Thanks for the tutorial man, helped a lot with performance. I did not update the game correctly to 1.09, so now I can play it on 60fps although it's not too consistent, still better than out of the box emulator. Also, with the glowing items, they did not dissapear at all, the mods changed the yellow light to a white one similar to DS3, so that's nice. The game crashed just now, but it's less frequent now. No more vortex explotions, and the least demanding areas keep up at 60fps. My PC is not too powerful but it handles the game pretty well. 16 GB RAM, RTX 2060, i7 6700.
Sony is just like Nintendo: Instead of making millions by just porting their shit, they like to sit on it and seethe when people figure out how to emulate it 😂
Someday, I'm sure ShadPS4 will introduce netplay to allow online features like co-op and messages in Bloodborne. Amazing video, actually the best one for installing and running BB on this emulator. So, thanks!
It looks like ShadPS4 happened to update today, with "Tessellation" included in the patch notes. Do you know if this means that the issues that required a separate build to work around are fixed now?
Gonna bookmark this one for sure! All of the issues and compromises you described go far beyond what I'd consider a good experience, so I'm gonna revisit this in 6 months or so. Thanks for the detailed video!
Finished already, started NG+, everything works. The only problems are crashing every 1hr 15 minutes (yes, I had a timer), and some sounds are missing after crashing, but they come back after few restarts. But if this means I got to play Bloodborne, so be it! Screw sony, they already lost my money.
That's so cool man, thanks for info 👍 At this point I waited so long for Bloodborne that I can wait 1 more year or 2 till they work out all the kinks and then I will experience it in 99% perfect way. Cant wait 😊
This works great for me! Since my PC is more high-midrange, I found running the game in windowed mode at 900p with cloth physics turned off gives me playable performance. Time to experience this game for the first time.
I am writing this comment whilst I am 15 years of age. I will return and reply to this comment when either bloodborne gets a pc port, or when I have gotten my degree. take your bets now.
My process so far: - set up everything and open game - bug - see video and fix - open game and get next stage of crashes - the solution is shown like 10 seconds later in the video - repeat the process like 4 times because Im a bit retarded and I dont learn Conclusion - do everything this guy says and only then open the game to save yourself some trouble
Keep up the good work. For a mere 20€ I wouldn’t go through the trouble even though I’m intrigued. Just bought the GOTY version (physical ofc). However in a few years this will be de facto standardo to play Bloodborne.
Could be as soon as next year, still like 10 major glitches or so like missing particles, sound effects, textures in intel cpus etc. But next time this year could be 99% complete with almost no issues
A ton of huge updates to the emulator have been made since you recorded this video, it is nearly complete as far as I could tell from my play through besides some stuttering in certain areas.
Yes and no, I did some testing last night and essentially everything I explained is still true except that the main Nightly ShadPS4 release-train now has Tessellation support!
@@PhobiaSoftLots of issues require small manual tweaks, mods or specialized forks but the only issues left after you get all of the above set up are the memory leak (the spike has been fixed tho) and vertex explosions without disabling facegen, the rest is/can be all fixed one way or another.
I'm playing the Dark Souls entire series so I hope the problems get fixed by the time I finnish, but I'll save this video just in case. Great video btw
Surely you didn't buy a PS5 just to play Bloodborne, a PS4 game? Heck, even if you did, besides a generally hassle-free experience you also get Online functionality, a feature that's not coming to emulation at any brisk pace. And there's that Demon's Souls remake doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
@@GeorgeNoiseless Ofc i did not buy it just for bloodborne but i was one of the reasons i bought it. Might have waited a while longer tho if i knew this would come out.
The timing is amazing. As this video was uploaded, shadps4 v0.5.0 was released. One of the many things that were evidently updated was tesselation. No idea if it works as the independent fork, but just thought I'd mention it.
Man, the way everyone was talking on twitter recently, I thought this thing was running flawlessly by now. Guess not. I can wait another year for it to properly work without having to install a bunch of mods. Cool to see how far Shadps4 is coming along tho.
I'm tired of seeing Sony continuously porting their games that always seem to "play in the safe and generic zone", even repeatedly like HZD. They have masterpiece games that many gamers want to port to PC like Bloodborne, but Sony instead chooses "Trash".
So cool mate, thank you for the guide! Cant belive i can finally try bloodborn on my own hehe. Btw your background is cool, could you share how to have one of these?
Bro i am a from software addict and i do not know why people like Bloodborne so much. I mean it's a good game but i feel like the other games are better.
I've been saying the same. It's a great game. It doesn't need to be remastered though. There's just a weird fascination with 60fps. 5 years ago nobody cared about fps. At least not like they do now.
@@redhair5469hey i think im using stable and the only mods im using are the 60 fps mod. I still run into some issues and only crashed once after a few hours of playing, my pc is also kinda good as well.

Maybe all this helps someone. Try it out. The game is definitely playable and very fun.
One edit here - I enabled the patch "disable http request" in the patches option to try and reduce the crashes (I saw a guy on RUclips having this patch disabled as well when he was showing the game on Steam Deck) and it did the trick for me. I had the emulator crash on me every 5 mins. But after this patch, I could play for hours.
Can I change branches on the go? It wouldn't f up my save? I wonder as I'm using main branch nightly builds right now and it crashes randomly after 1.5-2h of playtime for me.
@@GrimmerPl Yeah shouldn't mess up saves, but you can always just back up before switching.
@@GrimmerPl It's pretty easy to just copy over the saves between branches to keep your progress going, you could also make a backup folder but I never had issues just moving them over.
hey im also on the main branch (v0.5.0). Everything works great. But some of the soundeffects dont work. Like it doesnt make a sound when i hit something. Did you have this problem?
man I've tried both the video's way of installing, as well as your way and it still crashes for me. The first time it started crashing, i downloaded the version of shadPS4 you suggested, and the game ran fine for an hour. But now it just crashes every time i go to the next room. Haven't made any other changes that would cause this.
Not sure what fork is running in this video, but as of today mainBB runs the game pretty much perfectly after the Vertex Explosion fix. Like, seriously - been playing the game for hours and haven't seen a single issue!
Do you have the pkg files and would be willing to send through a good drive or something like that?
Blud really gave us a Christmas present, thank you bro
Bro WHY DOES YOUR DESKTOP LOOK SO DAMN CLEANNNNNNNN 🥶
Just wanted to say thank you for the guide! I've been wanting to do a play-through of Bloodborne for the longest and have been able to do so since following your guide.
Highly recommend the Diegolix29 branch tagged mainBB, as long as you have the vertex explosion fix (for now) and turn on automatic updates you'll be golden. Funny how the video is already somewhat outdated, there's an update every day, often multiple times a day
Yeah i don't think there's any visual effects issues left except for the vortex explosion
@@Ghost-pb4ts Yup, haven't noticed any aberrations in the latest build, been 100% on that for roughly a week plus (last thing to get fixed was the pink Cainhurst snow
@@cyberspacecathow do i download the latest build?
@@psynomic I think my comment got lost for link protection or something but just google diegolix29 shadps4 and look in "actions" to find the latest mainBB tagged build
this is useful af and the video is really well made. liked and subbed.

"WE AT SONY ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE A FAN FAVOURITE GAME COMING TO PC (totally not to prevent piracy or anything)!!!!!"
Awesome Vid!
Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany!
If u are using 60 fps patch, put vblank divider to 4 if u are getting low fps, i have a rtx 3050 6 gb laptop and the game runs really smooth now
Wow, you guys are incredible. I am so happy you were able to let some of us play this masterpiece.
SAVE THIS. Save it, download all things, reupload them, keep it in the internet! SOny is sure as hell to come after this seen as how they are, and we can't afford to lose such a treasure!!
Amazing tutorial you explain everything clearly!
Holy crap! I am so happy I had my buddy make me a digital copy of bloodbone years ago when he had a modded ps4...I knew it would come in handy sometime! I still own 2 physical copies, but I made 3 seperate digital copies also, just in case! Thank you so much for this video...I was able to get it working at 1440p 60FPS with almost no dips, and I'm not even using the FPS boost mod that you suggested...I do have a very high end PC though...I'm not even having too many graphical issues, except about every 30-40min the enemies turn invisible and I have to reload the game...Honestly, I will take that trade off to play at 60FPS! It is amazing! As soon as I get another paycheck I will be making donations to everyone involved...
Hey man i dont know where to "pirate" the game files, could you by any chance provide me the game files? marry christmas! and yes its so cool that this is possible nowdays. The Donation is a great idea i will do it too.
@@StrykerTBF up
@@StrykerTBF
Raging beasts stalk through the shrouded night,
Obedient to bloodlust, igniting primal fright.
Menace whispers through Yharnam's cursed streets,
Shadowed by horrors where nightmare meets.
Failure of humanity, knowledge twists and writhes,
Under eldritch skies, where suffering thrives.
Never forget the moon's crimson decree
.
Chanting echoes from the depths unknown,
Only madness waits where seeds are sown.
Mercy fades as the hunter's path unfolds.
@@StrykerTBF Read it vertically. Merry Christmas
thank you, your video helped loads and i now have Bloodborne on PC
When the new rtx Gpus drop this is the first thing im going to play. Bloodborne 60 fps+ with mods will make me a happy person.
Honestly it's CPU performance that matters more for any emulation.
@@KrakenGameReviewsThis isn't emulation, this is a translation layer. Think of it like WINE.
You can play this at 1080/60 already, the game only struggles at 1440p and above, in which case a 4070 can comfortably do it.
4090 runs great lol
@@Xeraser2 not exactly, At 1440p the game starts stuttering every now and then while using a 4080 Super. Its not worth using 1440p rn anyways because the game crashes more often. Anything higher than 1080p and the game becomes unstable. If you look on the discussion forums for the mods that fix this game, the creator will warn you to not use 1440p or up.
I am so hyped to finally play Bloodborne. Phobia, you are an absolute legend!
A new update for shadps4 just got released today too!
That's the whole thing. Why do you think Bloodborne can suddenly be played
Yup, so rendering this great video out of date on the day it was released.
Thank you for the guide it was really helpful. For some things I noticed myself by far:
Some animations on bosses are glitched (cleric beast for example)
Nightmare fog is more transparent then it should be
I can't see blood echoes
There is a whole texture missing in the sewage of central yharnam that lets see void
I also downloaded intell procesor fix and my game is much less glitching while loading new terrains, otherwise the only problems I encountered were those mentioned in the video. Probably the BEST guide for BBPC on yt
I actually could see the character creation menus without any issue :). So that's a surprise
Thanks for the tutorial man, helped a lot with performance.
I did not update the game correctly to 1.09, so now I can play it on 60fps although it's not too consistent, still better than out of the box emulator.
Also, with the glowing items, they did not dissapear at all, the mods changed the yellow light to a white one similar to DS3, so that's nice. The game crashed just now, but it's less frequent now. No more vortex explotions, and the least demanding areas keep up at 60fps.
My PC is not too powerful but it handles the game pretty well. 16 GB RAM, RTX 2060, i7 6700.
Sony is just like Nintendo: Instead of making millions by just porting their shit, they like to sit on it and seethe when people figure out how to emulate it 😂
Someday, I'm sure ShadPS4 will introduce netplay to allow online features like co-op and messages in Bloodborne.
Amazing video, actually the best one for installing and running BB on this emulator. So, thanks!
It's a Christmas miracle
Can't wait to try this! Thank you! Merry Christmas :) You've earned a sub good hunter ^__^
It looks like ShadPS4 happened to update today, with "Tessellation" included in the patch notes. Do you know if this means that the issues that required a separate build to work around are fixed now?
Yep! You can use the normal Nightly release train now (but you still need the Tessellation version of the SFXR mod)
Gonna give it a shot today. Thanks so much for the guide!
Did you get it working
Gonna bookmark this one for sure! All of the issues and compromises you described go far beyond what I'd consider a good experience, so I'm gonna revisit this in 6 months or so. Thanks for the detailed video!
Respect
I am not going to play the game, but I watched the whole video and liked it. thanks for the effort!
Finished already, started NG+, everything works. The only problems are crashing every 1hr 15 minutes (yes, I had a timer), and some sounds are missing after crashing, but they come back after few restarts. But if this means I got to play Bloodborne, so be it! Screw sony, they already lost my money.
It's just like playing bloodborne on ps4 then lol
That's so cool man, thanks for info 👍
At this point I waited so long for Bloodborne that I can wait 1 more year or 2 till they work out all the kinks and then I will experience it in 99% perfect way.
Cant wait 😊
Character Creation works out of the box on the 12-26 nightly!
This works great for me! Since my PC is more high-midrange, I found running the game in windowed mode at 900p with cloth physics turned off gives me playable performance. Time to experience this game for the first time.
I am writing this comment whilst I am 15 years of age. I will return and reply to this comment when either bloodborne gets a pc port, or when I have gotten my degree. take your bets now.
Awesome progress, glad more people are able to enjoy this game
this is so sick is it missing any content?
Nope, you can even play through all of the DLC this way now
Amazing Christmas surprise! 🎄
Tessellation is on the main Shadps4 now! but my game has flashlights everywhere
edit: fixed with the mod "polaris gpu lsd lights fixed"
did u manage to solve it?
@Julfer. yes, with the "Polaris GPU LSD mod" on nexus
@@Julfer. yes, with the "polaris gpu lsd lights fixed" mod
Starting with the truly yours instrumental gave me a smile. Such a good album.
Can't fucking wait for the mods!
il miglior video su come avviare BB su PC. Complimenti :)
I am curious as to how much of a tank of a pc you'd need to run this
I have an rtx 3070, ryzen 5600x, 32 gb pc and I can run at a very consistent 60fps at 1080p in the first level
I’m not subscribed or anything god himself sent me a notification on my phone to let me know 😭😭😭 love u
My process so far:
- set up everything and open game
- bug
- see video and fix
- open game and get next stage of crashes
- the solution is shown like 10 seconds later in the video
- repeat the process like 4 times because Im a bit retarded and I dont learn
Conclusion - do everything this guy says and only then open the game to save yourself some trouble
The greatest Christmas present of all time!
Cool having Pat Bateman himself doing the tutorial
You are a saint! 🚀🚀
Tesselation was added in 0.5.0 version two hours before the video is posted 🤣🤣🤣
Not the first time this has happened to me either 😅
Very good guide. Works like a charm. Thx
I've done the exact steps , but just get grey screen and the game doesn't appear .
Anyone how to fix?
Keep up the good work. For a mere 20€ I wouldn’t go through the trouble even though I’m intrigued. Just bought the GOTY version (physical ofc). However in a few years this will be de facto standardo to play Bloodborne.
Could be as soon as next year, still like 10 major glitches or so like missing particles, sound effects, textures in intel cpus etc. But next time this year could be 99% complete with almost no issues
A ton of huge updates to the emulator have been made since you recorded this video, it is nearly complete as far as I could tell from my play through besides some stuttering in certain areas.
Yes and no, I did some testing last night and essentially everything I explained is still true except that the main Nightly ShadPS4 release-train now has Tessellation support!
@@PhobiaSoftLots of issues require small manual tweaks, mods or specialized forks but the only issues left after you get all of the above set up are the memory leak (the spike has been fixed tho) and vertex explosions without disabling facegen, the rest is/can be all fixed one way or another.
I'm playing the Dark Souls entire series so I hope the problems get fixed by the time I finnish, but I'll save this video just in case. Great video btw
Oh for fuck sake, just bought a mf playstation 5 a few days ago for christmas
Surely you didn't buy a PS5 just to play Bloodborne, a PS4 game?
Heck, even if you did, besides a generally hassle-free experience you also get Online functionality, a feature that's not coming to emulation at any brisk pace.
And there's that Demon's Souls remake doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Refund is still possible.
@@GeorgeNoiseless Ofc i did not buy it just for bloodborne but i was one of the reasons i bought it.
Might have waited a while longer tho if i knew this would come out.
Cillian Murphy x Bloodborne??!!!😂 Best xmas ever!! also great video and really clear on every step, thank you!👏
Is it playble in keyboard and mouse?
id u add a keyboard support yes
The timing is amazing. As this video was uploaded, shadps4 v0.5.0 was released. One of the many things that were evidently updated was tesselation. No idea if it works as the independent fork, but just thought I'd mention it.
The glowing item things work normally now.
On the latest version of shadps4 that is.
Works out the box so far, besides the occasional vertex explosion (solved by a area reload) today 8 days after this was posted
ah, what a wonderful time to play Bloodborne on christmas time.
Bro this is awesome! Thank you so much!
I actually wanna know how to setup a clean desktop like that too.
Weird question, but can you open chalice dungeons?
Like the non main ones
As long as you don't attempt to search for an online glyph (because you're always offline) you can do all of the Chalice Dungeons, yes.
Aw man, I was hoping to consume the cunfpk chalice. Oh well, ailing loran has beast patients worth 4k each that are pretty easy, not bad.
@@OFSheep you're playing on pc. Shadps4 emulator itself has cheat mods.
one of the best bb/chadps4 setup vids out there 💪you don't just say do it but explain why. you have earned a sub!
does anyone know where to get the pkg files needed here?
Seconded, someone let us know.
i can't say anything, other than 'roms' are pretty 'fun'
Man, the way everyone was talking on twitter recently, I thought this thing was running flawlessly by now. Guess not. I can wait another year for it to properly work without having to install a bunch of mods. Cool to see how far Shadps4 is coming along tho.
/r/patientgamers welcome to the club, finally someone with a head on their shoulders
Was baited by a steam logo on thumbnail
how do you suppose a game would get on steam if its being emulated and being circulated by people that arent sony or fromsoft
thats totally on you
Iq check
I talk about how to integrate it into Steam at the end, no bait.
Great video. Am now looking forward to your next setup video on version 0.5.0 which was released on the same day as this video. :-)
I'm tired of seeing Sony continuously porting their games that always seem to "play in the safe and generic zone", even repeatedly like HZD. They have masterpiece games that many gamers want to port to PC like Bloodborne, but Sony instead chooses "Trash".
And GT7... THAT and BB would sell a bangilion copies... But they just avoid those like the devil.
So cool mate, thank you for the guide! Cant belive i can finally try bloodborn on my own hehe.
Btw your background is cool, could you share how to have one of these?
Finally... After almost 10 years... It's here and to stay. WE GOT BLOODBORNE ON PC BOYS!🎉
GOD BLESS YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
if you want a graphical upgrade, fromsoftserve is making a remaster mod and there’s a version of it out now
its been done, ur too late sony
they were busy wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on concord lol
im not going to set this up, but i love watching this video knowing the community can enjoy this game propperly
Sony sucks.
Mainline ShadPS4 now has the tessellation fix for anyone wondering.
Bro i am a from software addict and i do not know why people like Bloodborne so much. I mean it's a good game but i feel like the other games are better.
I've been saying the same.
It's a great game.
It doesn't need to be remastered though.
There's just a weird fascination with 60fps. 5 years ago nobody cared about fps. At least not like they do now.
i think a lot of bugs were fixed I was able to create my own custom character! great video
Hey, are you using stable release or nightly version of shadePS4 and what mods are you using?
@@redhair5469hey i think im using stable and the only mods im using are the 60 fps mod. I still run into some issues and only crashed once after a few hours of playing, my pc is also kinda good as well.
