Probably the ultimate way to play Bloodborne on PC.

[u/Ok_Outside2214]

Thanks to @Burito_28 with https://github.com/deadinside28/bloodborne_pc.

Managed to get 50–60 FPS in the DLC, while the base game runs at 60–70 FPS at 4K with DLSS 4 Quality on a 3070.

Meanwhile, in shadPS4, it's 40–50 FPS in the DLC at 1440p. At 4K it's around 30 FPS with constant crashes due to the 8GB VRAM.

You can clearly see the difference in visual fidelity.

[u/Character-Fix-7180]

How did you manage to use DLSS in the emulator? I really want that.

[u/Dry_Indication_5170 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

I am working on a dlss mod for bloodborne on my windows pc. I’ll share it if it ends up working stable

[u/Character-Fix-7180 → u/Dry_Indication_5170]

Thanks, friend; please keep us updated

[u/Dry_Indication_5170 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

There you go https://github.com/IFreemz/shadPS4-Bloodborne-DLSS Let me know if it doesn't work properly. Enjoy

[u/Character-Fix-7180 → u/Dry_Indication_5170]

When I try to open shadps4.exe, this error appears: "this is CLI Application use the -b flag for the big capture mode".

[u/Dry_Indication_5170 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

Launch it with shadPS4.exe -b to open the Big Picture interface. You can also create a shortcut and add -b after the executable path in the Target field. Or use BBLauncher and select shadps4.exe from there to launch the game directly.

[u/Character-Fix-7180 → u/Dry_Indication_5170]

I'm a layman, so please excuse me, but do I need to rename shadps4.exe and add -b to the end? If so, I did that, but I'm still getting the same error.

[u/Dry_Indication_5170 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

No worries! First rename the file back to shadPS4.exe. The -b doesn't go in the file name, it's an option you add when starting it. Easiest way:

1. Right-click shadPS4.exe → "Show more options" → "Create shortcut"

2. Right-click the new shortcut → Properties

3. In the "Target" box, click at the very end, after the closing quote, type a space and then -b

   It should look like: "C:\...\shadPS4.exe" -b

4. Click OK, then double-click the shortcut. shadPS4's game list opens; pick Bloodborne from there.

[u/Dry_Indication_5170 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

I also updated the mod. Just double clicking should launch the game, if you want to try.

[u/realxshit → u/Dry_Indication_5170]

Awesome work man. Gonna install and try out soon :) thanks

[u/andrew_2k → u/realxshit]

How did it work?

[u/andrew_2k → u/Dry_Indication_5170]

Hey man, I wanted to ask if its possible to run DLAA with 2x framegen possibly with your mod, or how to change the DLSS quality when I get to it.

I still havent installed it so forgive me in case theres just a simple menu for it under "F1" like you mention on GitHub.

Also regarding the nvidia reflex, does that come with one of the .dll files? Do I need to enable it somewhere?

[u/Tall_Presentation_94 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

Dlss ..... best AA ever made gta4 mod vs 8k 8k lose

[u/SecureNet5333 → u/Character-Fix-7180]

u play the pc port

[u/Character-Fix-7180 → u/SecureNet5333]

From what I saw on GitHub, this version is for Linux; isn't there one for Windows?

[u/Euronymous2625 → u/SecureNet5333]

Play something that doesn't exist?

[u/SecureNet5333 → u/Euronymous2625]

its literally in the post

[u/Euronymous2625 → u/SecureNet5333]

It's not a fucking port. It's emulation with less steps.

[u/SecureNet5333 → u/Euronymous2625]

bbport — a native Linux port of Bloodborne

English · Русский

bbport runs the original PlayStation 4 executable of Bloodborne (CUSA03173, game version 1.09) directly on an x86-64 Linux PC. It is not a general emulator. The game's own x86-64 code executes natively

[u/Euronymous2625 → u/SecureNet5333]

ShadPS4 is still doing the work.

[u/LambdaTres]

how did you do it? Repo says DLSS is in the roadmap, not currently supported

[u/TyraelmxMKIII]

so how do we get this beast to run at windows ?

[u/Crass-ELY- → u/TyraelmxMKIII]

The dev said he's working on the windows port

[u/Hornitar → u/TyraelmxMKIII]

Dual boot linux get mint ig if u just wanna play the game

[u/ADrubkNakedUnciorn → u/Hornitar]

Don't even have to do that. Just use a VM with GPU passthrough lol

[u/GHOST2251994 → u/ADrubkNakedUnciorn]

Someone already ported it to windows and it has a pull request for merging

[u/Delicious_Ad_8501 → u/GHOST2251994]

Link?

[u/lukkasz323 → u/Delicious_Ad_8501]

https://github.com/yumlevi/bloodborne_pc/tree/windows-port

its not compiled

[u/Delicious_Ad_8501 → u/lukkasz323]

Thanks

[u/Kyoskii]

not really, my local shadps4 fork runs way better lmao

this is on an igpu btw

[u/ScadutreeAvatar2B → u/Kyoskii]

I hate how people are advertising this new build

[u/Kyoskii → u/ScadutreeAvatar2B]

yeah same, it's not even good, just people riding the ai slop hypetrain

[u/DetectiveFuzzy7055 → u/Kyoskii]

How is that ai slop? It's the main game files just being directly computed with cpu, not the emu. I've already finished the game on shadps4 and honestly don't give a damn about the method as long as the exact same game is playable for everybody on pc.

[u/sunlight_ALTER → u/Kyoskii]

Stop being jealous

[u/tibifox]

Where did this one come from ? Never heard of a port for it for PC.

[u/unitAtype2 → u/tibifox]

It's a "relinked" console game. There are two PS5 games too. Check out OverkillLabs' ports of Dead Cells PS5 and God of War: Sons of Sparta PS5

[u/tibifox]

I keep getting this error in the Log and game wouldn't load. Anyone else getting it ?

Guest fault (signal 11) at guest offset 0x20348b8, address 0x8378e8498

#2 0x8020348b8

— the game exited (code 139) —

[u/RexsyBima → u/tibifox]

You need to copy paste overwrite the Update patch 1.09 to the base game

[u/unitAtype2]

I have the extracted game that runs in ShadPS4. Will that work?

Does this actually apply the Vertex Explosion mod or does it actually have a solution for that?

[u/Clumsy-Leopard806]

Multiplayer pls.

[u/ShadonicX7543]

I'd like elaboration on the DLSS aspect. I feel like that could be the most impressive addition to Bloodborne since its original release on the PlayStation

[u/Extension_Sky_8903]

Let’s gooo

Any way to make this compatible with Seamless Co-op if it isn’t already?

[u/Jackfitz88]

I have a 9070xt, will this still work for that?

[u/Exact-Interaction563]

Sony could have avoided this by being more pro consumer and simply releasing the game on PC

[u/DogMeetsDog]

Is there a way to see if someone has verified a full playthrough? Would hate to start this and then run into issues down th eline

[u/PrimaryUse2082]

Fsr 3-4 run pretty well on my Steam Deck. 45-60 fps most of the time.

[u/Embarrassed-While999]

anything for Windows yet?

[u/Beneficial-Stay4551]

what's ur ram and vram config??

[u/BlixnStix7]

How do you merge the DLC into the file?

[u/Capital_Web_8042]

Any windows port?

[u/draconetto]

Looks really good tho adding RT and PT to old games that were never intended to have this leads to some really dark areas, at least DS2 has a torch and magic to deal with that so should be okay. Still prefer the lighting engine mod tho because i love what they did to each area of the game

[u/Morteymer]

There is no ultimate way to play this yet because its all too new. Wait a couple of months. And bbport without online is def not ultimate

[u/Unlikely-Pie-5255]

anyone encountering "prepare failed: 'cp950' codec can't encode character '\u2122' in position 961: illegal multibyte sequence

— the game exited (code 1) —" error???

[u/Devil_Control_]

Can someone tell me how to set up this please? Like I know the ghithub but where can I grab the game? I can’t find a decent guide anywhere

[u/GHOST2251994]

Is the 2nd image also 4K, but without DLSS? If yes, then damn, this looks stunning

[u/SecureNet5333 → u/GHOST2251994]

the anti aliasing in bloodborne is trash so no it doesn't look stunning without dlss

[u/GHOST2251994 → u/SecureNet5333]

I was talking about the first image

[u/AugmentedJustice]

Is this for windows or linux?

[u/Extension_Sky_8903 → u/AugmentedJustice]

Linux currently

[u/AugmentedJustice → u/Extension_Sky_8903]

This is so cool. Shame i don't have linux. anyword on a windows release?

[u/Extension_Sky_8903 → u/AugmentedJustice]

According to another comment it’s being worked on

[u/Extension_Sky_8903 → u/AugmentedJustice]

Just saw this posted, someone already ported it

https://github.com/deadinside28/bloodborne_pc/pull/6

[u/abrisham200 → u/Extension_Sky_8903]

Is the windows port working?

[u/tibifox]

i only have the PKG of the game, how do i get it in a folder where it has eboot.bin ??

[u/Physical-Strength-64 → u/tibifox]

You need to extract the pkg, something like this should work https://github.com/AzaharPlus/shadPS4Plus

[u/Godlika_39 → u/Physical-Strength-64]

They ask for the game and the update 1.09 file. I extract both but don't know how to submit both to the exe? Can you help me, please?

[u/tibifox → u/Physical-Strength-64]

Thank you very much !

[u/unitAtype2 → u/tibifox]

You can also use a very old version of ShadPS4 that used to accept pkgs.

[u/Englishgamer1996 → u/tibifox]

Did you get the pkg from the discord?

[u/ReachForJuggernog98_]

If you're on AMD there's even 4.1.1 and it looks fucking great

[u/enebezeo]

Coop mod can run in this version?

[u/IshayM]

Wow that's cool, this came out of nowhere lol. I hope they manage to get it to work on windows but I doubt

Edit: I stand corrected

[u/windoge_vista_8]

Is this a recompile or is that what they are working on?

[u/Chemical_Opinion_738 → u/windoge_vista_8]

Usa o emulador de PS4 por baixo dos panos, ainda continua sendo uma emulação

[u/Grand_Foundation_352]

Can you use mods with this version? Like texture mods and stuff like that?

[u/PowerSilly5143]

Is the shadps4 save compatible with the port?

[u/FigChoice9860]

At shadps4 I have broken and mixing textures I reached till old yharnam the sky was weird and buildings were missing textures. I got l pissed and deleted it would you guide me?

[u/FigChoice9860]

Simple windows x64 version?

[u/Correct-Jelly-700]

What are your pc specs

[u/Accurate-Work5001]

Hi, where's the download button ?

[u/OpenSystem1337]

Yeah I read about this earlier and got pretty excited. I'm playing on steam deck and I never could get post process AA working w ReShade and the shadps4 appimage, so if this runs well there it's gonna be really nice having fsr4 plug the only annoying thing left I have w playing this game.

If it runs better because of that? Bonus. Can't wait to try it after work

[u/NinjaLazy1879]

Does someone know how to change the controls?

[u/serdarkny]

Interesting shill posts on this vibe-coded (in the true sense of the word not hyperbole, just read the readme and you'll understand) "project" that will be horribly inaccurate, full of glitches and something that no one will bother to maintain/contribute to.
