Bloodborne Gets Split-Screen Co-op - Modder Expands PC Version of the Game

Bloodborne is officially only available on PlayStation consoles, but thanks to an emulator, tech enthusiasts have found another way to play it on PC. Now, this fan-made “PC version” of FromSoftware games is being improved in various ways.
While some modders are refining the graphics, an enthusiast under the nickname ReachForJuggernog98_ has introduced a split-screen cooperative mode for Bloodborne on PC with Linux:
Thanks to shadPS4, PartyDeck (a NucleusCoop alternative for Linux), and Wozzardman's (and my) fork of shadnet coop, I was able to write a PartyDeck handler for shadPS4 — now you can play Bloodborne co-op with splitscreen! My software works with the shadPS4 emulator in general and is not tied specifically to Bloodborne; for co-op in a specific game, only shadnet support is required.
The project impressed Bloodborne fans. ReachForJuggernog98_ noted that there was a high demand for such co-op from Windows users, so he soon presented a similar project for that operating system:
The logic is the same, but the setup is much simpler than in the Linux version: the server starts automatically, everything works completely offline through Wozzardman's fork, and clients are registered and configured for each game instance.
An example of gameplay can be viewed at the following link.
