## About

Obliteration is a free and open-source PlayStation 4 kernel rewritten in Rust. Its goal is to run the PlayStation 4 system software on Windows, Linux and macOS using a custom made virtualization stack optimized specifically for Obliteration. **The project is under development and cannot run any games yet**. The reason it take so long is because we decided to go with the correct path without stubbing as much as possible.



This project started as a hard-fork from [Kyty](https://github.com/InoriRus/Kyty). Then we decided to rewrite the whole project from scratch by using Kyty and [Uplift](https://github.com/idc/uplift) as a reference to help us getting started with the project.



The project logo and icon was designed by [VocalFan](https://github.com/VocalFan).



## Get a daily build



You can download binaries from the latest commits [here](https://github.com/obhq/obliteration/actions/workflows/main.yml). You **MUST** sign in to GitHub otherwise you will not be able to download files.



## System requirements



- Windows 10, Linux or macOS 11+.

  - On Windows and Linux make sure you have Vulkan 1.3 installed. If you encountered `Failed to initialize Vulkan (-9)` that mean you don't have a Vulkan installed.

- x86-64 CPU.

- CPU with hardware virtualization supports.

  - Windows and Linux users may need to enable this feature on the BIOS/UEFI settings.

- A PS4 with system software version 11.00 for firmware dumping.



### Windows-specific requirements



- [Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist). If there is an error related to `msvcp140.dll`, `vcruntime140.dll`, or `vcruntime140_1.dll` that means you need to install this manually. It's likely your system already has it, so try to run Obliteration first.
