1) Gather the files you will need:

ShadPS4 emulator software - https://shadps4.org/

Download link is at the top of the page.  

Bloodborne game file - Obtain this somehow, assuming you purchased / own the game.

BB disc codes identify the specific game release, can be useful for searching.

CUSA00900 and CUSA03173 are disc codes for English versions.

Bloodborne 1.09 update file - Obtain this, assuming you own the game already.

Update file must match the BB game disc code.

CUSA00900 game needs CUSA00900 1.09 update pkg for example.

PS4 11.00 System Modules files - Obtain these, assuming you own a PS4

Could be found under Creator: Sony on the IA

11.00-sys-modules

2) Unzip or install ShadPS4 to a location with around 70GB free space for the games

3) Run ShadPS4 and set up a Games folder in that location with enough free space

4) Quit ShadPS4 and install System Modules needed (only 8-9 of the files)

Inside the ShadPS4 program directory, find the "user\sys_modules" directory and copy these files into it:

	libSceFiber.sprx

	libSceJpegEnc.sprx

	libSceJson.sprx

	libSceJson2.sprx

	libSceLibcInternal.sprx

	libSceNgs2.sprx

	libSceRtc.sprx

	libSceUlt.sprx

	libSceDiscMap.sprx  (optional / possibly deprecated / didn't use)

5) Install Bloodborne and the 1.09 update

File menu --> Install Packages --> Bloodborne .pkg file

Install the update after the game finishes installing.  (game may or may not work without the update, I didn't test without)

The game is about 30GB in .pkg form and almost 32GB installed.

6) Install emulator patches for Bloodborne

Right-click the BB game listing in ShadPS4 and select "Cheats/Patches"

Click on the Patches tab of the Cheats / Patches window.

At the bottom, change the Repository: selection to shadPS4 and click "Download Cheats" button.

Now you should have a checklist of patches available, enable these:

	Skip Intro    (optional)

	Disable Chromatic Abberation

	Disable Motion Blur

	Disable HTTP Requests

	60 FPS (With Deltatime)

	Force Enable Old Hunters DLC    (optional)

Click the Save button to finish.

6-part2) Resolution patches are also available in the above selection

	Choose the resolution you want to run the game at...

	But beware that increasing beyond 720p-1080p can decrease stability.

	Do it anyway if you want to, I'm using a 21:9 widescreen res.

7) Run the game and enjoy!!
