🚀 SHADPS4 UPDATE: MOVING TO A NATIVE BUILD FOR UNCHARTED: THE NATHAN DRAKE COLLECTION

Hello everyone! 👋

After the latest updates to shadPS4, I’ve decided to shift my focus toward developing a native PC build of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

The main goal of this project is to explore a different approach to running the game on PC. While PS4 emulation requires your computer to simulate the console’s hardware and software, a native PC build aims to run the game directly on Windows, Linux, and potentially macOS, without relying on a PS4 emulator.

💻 Why a Native Build?

One of the biggest challenges with emulation is hardware compatibility and performance. Older or low-end PCs may struggle to run demanding games through an emulator, even when the original console was designed to run them efficiently.

A native build could potentially make the game more accessible to a wider range of PC users by reducing emulation overhead and allowing for better optimization for PC hardware.

🎯 My Focus Going Forward

  • Exploring native execution for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.
  • Investigating the game’s architecture and the technical requirements for a native port.
  • Working toward compatibility with Windows, Linux, and macOS where feasible.
  • Improving performance and accessibility, especially for older PCs that cannot handle PS4 emulation well.
  • Sharing development progress, discoveries, and updates with the community.

⚠️ A Quick Note: This is a challenging development project. A native build is not simply a matter of removing the emulator; it may require substantial work on game code, graphics, system APIs, and platform compatibility. Better performance on older PCs is a goal, not a guarantee.

I’ll focus on Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection for now and share updates as development progresses.

Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and encouragement! ❤️

The next goal: bringing Nathan Drake’s adventure to PC through a native build. 🚀

Stay tuned for more updates!
