About

CI Zulip

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. Then we decided to rewrite the whole project from scratch by using Kyty and Uplift as a reference to help us getting started with the project.

The project logo and icon was designed by VocalFan.

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.
