shadPS4 pushes a new pre-release build from commit afde631
shadPS4 has a new pre-release build from commit afde631, on top of v0.19.0. The notes are thin, so here's what you can check and how to test it safely.
shadPS4 has a new pre-release build, tagged 2026-10-07 and built from commit afde631. It’s based on the v0.19.0 release. If you run PS4 games through shadPS4, this is the one to know about, but treat it as a test drop, not a stable update.
The release notes are thin. The page I have points to a single changelog comparing v.0.19.0 with afde631, and that’s it. I can’t tell you what changed in this build from the source alone. To see the actual changes, you’ll need to read the commits in that compare view.
That’s the honest picture: a dated snapshot of the code. Pre-releases exist so people can test new code before it goes into a proper release, so rough edges are expected. Don’t put it on your only setup with your only save files.
How to try it:
- Grab the build for your OS from the release page.
- Back up your shadPS4 folder and any save data first.
- Run a game you already know well, and compare it with your v0.19.0 build.
- If something breaks, check the changelog for commits that touched that area, and report it with the game name and what you saw.
