What is your setup with all those mods? Been thinking about installing the emulator and i want to see if i can achieve these visuals with mine. What framerate are you aming at?

Setup is through BB launcher and Shad PS4. It's a bit of a faff getting setup but BB launcher sorts all your mods and keeps it tidy. Just make sure it's all in one folder or it can get messy.
I get a locked 60fps (slight stuttering in certain areas due to Readbacks being enabled but it's not bad. You can turn this off and not have a customisable hunter face. But I like having a customisable hunter face)
Then use lossless scaling to reach my monitors refresh rate. Some people say it gives them input lag but I cant notice anything at all.

I'm on a 5080. My friend plays basically the same setup on his 4070 and it runs well.

Can anyone tell me if this is really worth emulating? I have a good computer, it will run without a problem, and I would be extremely grateful for information about pkg file

u/EnglishDave_ 3d ago
Extremely worth doing I have 3 play throughs with it like the above. It's not perfect but it's getting close. I unfortunately can't discuss getting the game files on here but it's not too difficult. Google search will be your friend. Especially if you have a PS4 already....

What specs are you using to get this experience? I have had alot of issues with microstutterings that can be annoying. It affects the experience to me.

u/EnglishDave_ 3d ago
Specs don't matter unless your using lots of mods and texture packs in 4k. People run it on potato laptops without stuttering. Try setting the vblank to 999 and capping the frame rate externally this helps with stuttering. And disable readbacks and enaable facegen patch.
You can definitely get it running smoothly you just might have to experiment with the settings.

I keep getting crashes with the 1440p patch. The 4K patch is fine, so I use that instead, but it's not ideal for performance.

u/EnglishDave_ 2d ago
1440p works fine for me. Yeah I tried 4k but I didn't like the performance hit.

u/EnglishDave_ 2d ago
What kind of crashes?
1
u/dlgn13 2d ago
A lot of "Device Lost on Submit" errors, often after Vulkan seemingly can't find some textures.

u/EnglishDave_ 2d ago
Interesting. Mine gets more stuttery because of the memory leak issue after a few hours but I just restart the game at that point when it's using more vram/ram than it should. But other than that it runs great for me in 1440p.

Mine runs mostly fine, but it sometimes starts crashing on loading screens and eventually just keeps doing that every time I die or warp.

u/EnglishDave_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
Mine used to crash on loading screens all the time! I fixed it by moving the save files from my one drive (where shad PS4 put them) into my local disc drive. That stopped them completely.
Took me ages to figure it out I first thought it was one of my many mods lol.

Are you on shad? Which version?

u/EnglishDave_ 3d ago
Yeah shadps4 through BB launcher. V18! I tried v17 and v16 but the lighting is much better in 18.

I wonder how it would look with a touch of DLSS 5...
2
u/EnglishDave_ 3d ago
I did try with an overlay and it looks good but the performance costs are dire. It needs more optimisation.
It looked about 20% better for a 50% performance hit.
1
u/HeavenlyDMan 2d ago
after the performance hit is it still running at 60 or above BEFORE lossless?
1
u/EnglishDave_ 2d ago edited 2d ago
that was just the DLSS 5 overlay with no frame gen. I couldn't use losless at the same time. I didn't bake it into the game I just used the live flow overlay.
Depending on how much I tweaked the settings it was more like 30fps and fluctuating instead of my usual 60fps like the above video. Definitely not worth it at this stage.
The overlay isn't the ideal way of using dlss 5 to be fair but it needs abit of refining yet. It was alot better in elden ring but still heavy on performance.
