I understood what you wanted, but for ARM64 it would still be CPU emulation, native support is only possible as a recompilation project, which is beyond the scope of the shadps4 emulator.

But PS4 is x86 (x64) at it's core so for having arm verison you will need to have x64 emulation in place anyway

Currently we operate on macOS using the OS-provided x86_64 translation, presumably on Windows our plan is the same, assuming the hardware and GPU drivers available are good enough.
