I can attest to this, been trying to play Bloodborne with the 121328e version and every time I try to launch it the application crashes.

Those games don't launch yet, look at the compatibility list

Some games like bloodborne also require sys modules iirc

While trying to emulate Bloodborne and i've had the same issue.
I'm currently on a windows partition installed trough bootcamp on a iMac, so maybe my issue is related.

Can you try on the latest version ?
And we need a log of the game, not the mac one if you can send it.

It's in the options, debug panel, you can open the log folder and whenever you launch a game a new log is created

@JohnyEden The game you're testing in that log (Minecraft v3.05) doesn't work yet. shadPS4 is stll early in development, most games won't work yet.
