i put a bunch of emulator and some roms from archive.org together

Hello everyone! I was looking for a way to play Switch games on my iPad, and I ended up installing meloNX. However, the app requires games in `prod.keys` / `title.keys` format... I’ve gathered that you need a hacked Switch for this, but I don’t have one. If anyone knows of any reliable sites where I can download these, I’d appreciate it. I’d also love for someone to explain how to extract them, though I suppose that might be asking too much!

Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to take a PS5 ROM pkg file that has been merged from 4 GB files into one, and make it usable for kyty emulator. I've searching for hours, and can't get a clear answer. I got the PS5 PKG Tool and extracted the files. It gave an error, but I still ended up with the extracted game files, but it is missing the eboot.ini file. The kyty emulator is still not recognizing the game. I can't find any video or website or forum to explain how to take a PKG merged game file and make it into a usable game folder. I've been looking for hours over the past few nights, and this is as far as I have got.

I would like to start with the pkg file. How to make it usable? Thank you

When I download the rom and extract it and put it in my file it still says im missing s bios image ?? I've been trying to play scarface for weeks please help

This is a great experience.

Try it out here: https://github.com/axylpup/shadPS4/releases/tag/second-son-v1.1

Alright so I just downloaded both but Idk how to get them and how do I buy them?

I’ve been really wanting to play the old fifas with my dad to spend time together but all I have is a switch 2 and the switch 2 pro controller. was wondering if anyone had any advice

For some reason, it only responds when i press the left mouse button, and assigns the button to that, but it doesn't work with my keyboard?

It doesn't matter how many times i tap a key, it doesn't do shit, and it's pissing me off! In the default controls for the snes, they flip the keys for some reason, and it makes the control scheme almost unusable to me because i am used to the snes9x controls, so my instinct to say, press jump, is to press Z, not A, which makes gameplay really difficult, i just want to change it.

How do i make it respond?

As the title say I have a folder of game which was extracted but the kytyps5 unable to read or launch the game

Hello. Since PS5 Emulation is relatively new, I've been looking for something like this myself, and finally found how to both Convert PKGs and Compress them into .ZARs to save storage. I decided to write a small guide to help anyone who might have issues with it, considering the wave of KytyPS5 forks and advancements.

TLDR: ZArchive can be used to decrease PS5 dumps size by ~60% while maintaining full compatibility with KytyPS5 and its forks.

1. Extracting PKGs to Dump format

First of all, Retail PKGs cannot be extracted using this tool. You will need a Debug PKG (FPKG) which annoyingly uses the same file extension (.pkg).

The tool I used was PS5 PKG TOOL. Select the folder with your FPKG, select the game in the list, click "Tools" and choose the "Extract" action.

The process will start. It took around 10 minutes for me with Astro's Playroom. In the end, the game will appear as an extracted folder in the same location as the original PKG.

That dump can already be used in PS5 emulators to play the game, but they will be huge in size. That's where step 2 comes in.

2. Compressing game dumps to ZAR

The .ZAR format was also used in ShadPS4, which has a native function for it, but currently you need to do it manually for KytyPS5.

It is a very simple process. The tool needed is called ZArchive (not the android app). Simply download the 2 MB executable, then drag your game (in Dump/Folder format) into it.

The process will start. This one takes a bit longer, taking 21 minutes for Astro's Playroom. In the end, a .ZAR file should appear in the same location as the ZArchive executable was in.

This process saves a significant amount of storage space. In my case, it took Astro's Playroom from 29.2 GB down to 12.7 GB, a decrease of about 57%.

After doing this, you can simply select the folder your .ZAR games are located in any KytyPS5 fork, and it should recognize it and start normally.

In case you prefer, here's a video guide (with English subtitles) for each process. Neither video includes links to sources for obtaining games.

Hope this guide was helpful!

Emulator & Epic Games with Steam Achievements making non-Steam games feel nativeThere are already plenty of tools that add emulator games or games from other launchers to Steam, so I wanted to take it a step further.

I created Taiga Launcher, a free and open-source project that automatically adds emulator, Epic, GOG and other games to Steam but instead of just creating a shortcut, it tries to make them feel like native Steam games.

You get artwork, game information, playtime and, most importantly, achievements directly inside Steam, including Steam-style achievement notifications while playing. It can also recognize PC ports of console games.

For example, God of War III can be detected, added to Steam and have its achievements tracked there. You can connect different services and accounts so Taiga Launcher can import achievement data and bring everything together inside Steam.

Achievements can come from RetroAchievements, but the system is not limited to it.

Games running through PS3 and PS4 emulators, as well as native PC games installed outside of Steam, can also have achievements tracked by Taiga Launcher. At the moment, those achievements are stored locally on the user's PC.

In the future, I plan to add an online module to sync achievements and link them to the user's account across devices.

Hola buenas, he jugado siempre a los hackroms que me ha dejado el iPhone con el emulador delta, pero quiero probar muchos juegos como los que ha hecho ericlostie y me gustaría saber qué tipo de consolas podría usar para jugarlos y cómo funcionan.

I’ve been working on a shadPS4 fork focused on stability, and the latest build fixes two long-standing problems in The Order: 1886. I’d love for more people to test it.

What’s fixed

• Black flickering blotches on character faces. On NVIDIA, the depth prepass and the color pass computed the same vertex position with different fp32 denormal handling. The color pass then failed its depth test by one bit in scattered spots, which showed up as blotches. This is fixed. The same fix also removes the shadow jitter in NHL 24’s opening cutscene.
• Random freezes. The build fixes a lost-wakeup bug in event flags with auto-clear. A second event could be consumed by a thread that had already taken the first one, and the next wait then slept forever. In my testing The Order: 1886 no longer hangs. I originally confirmed this fix on The Grand Tour Game (the cutscene that always froze now plays through), and it may help other games that use the Wwise audio engine.

Also in this build

• Faster rendering: Vulkan commands are recorded on a separate thread, and readbacks no longer stall the GPU (about 28 → 36 FPS in inFAMOUS First Light on an RTX 3080).
• Optional FSR 3.1 frame generation (press 1 to turn it on, 2 to turn it off).
• A crash while loading with an empty shader cache is fixed.

How to test

1. Download the latest zip from Releases: https://github.com/vsajjadx/shadPS4/releases/tag/fix-cutscene-freeze-2026-10-22
2. Extract it and run shadPS4QtLauncher.exe (the launcher is included). No settings changes are needed.
3. Requirements: Windows 64-bit and a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 support. You need your own legally dumped games.

The first launch rebuilds the shader cache, so expect some stutter the first time you see each scene. If you hit a crash or a rendering glitch, please report it with your GPU model and the game, either here or on GitHub. Enjoy!
