What is this?
A native Windows port of Bloodborne that runs the PS4 game's own x86-64 code directly on your PC and translates its graphics calls to Vulkan, wrapped in a launcher that handles settings, upscaling, cheats and updates.

The game's native code runs directly on Windows and only the graphics layer is translated to Vulkan, so there's no emulator window or setup scripts, just unpack and launch.

You need your own decrypted dump of Bloodborne (CUSA03173), and specifically version 1.09 if you want the community FPS, resolution and effects patches.
