The engine

AnyPS5-ARM: the PS5 engine port for Apple-silicon Macs, and our own engine builds for Windows and Linux.

features: 33
experimental: 9
Runs on: MacWindowsLinux

How it runs6

ENG-01
Relinked, not emulated
The relinker turns a PS5 executable into a native program, linked against the console's system libraries rebuilt as ordinary shared libraries.
ENG-02
Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon
The game's x86-64 code runs under Rosetta 2, the relinker writes a Mach-O executable, and the result is a normal .app you open from Finder.
ENG-03
Native arm64 engineExperimental
On the native-arm64 branch, game code is translated to arm64 ahead of time with LLVM: DOOM plays E1M1 at its own 35 FPS, no Rosetta in the process.
ENG-04
Our own Windows and Linux engine
Releases carry AnyPS5-ARM's toolkit for Windows (WinLibs GCC) and Linux (Ubuntu 22.04, glibc 2.35), with the online bridge and the phone pad.
ENG-05
Level with upstream
Upstream AnyPS5's work is merged in again and again (1,465 commits in one sync), its new code made to work on macOS.
ENG-06
Self-contained game apps
An unlocked game is one .app with its libraries, MoltenVK, per-title patches and a launch script inside; it starts from Finder too.

Graphics9

ENG-07
Vulkan on Metal
The PS5 graphics driver runs on Vulkan through MoltenVK, which runs on Metal. Nothing to install, no Vulkan SDK.
ENG-08
Metal's gaps covered
Placeholder images for missing null descriptors, one-lane waves where Metal has no subgroups, single-sample MSAA storage, clamped depth ranges.
ENG-09
Argument buffers
Metal argument buffers lift the limit of 31 storage buffers per shader stage.
ENG-10
Guest write watch
Watched pages are write-protected instead of compared before every draw: Dreaming Sarah went from about 18 to 60 fps.
ENG-11
Shader recompiler and cache
Console shaders are recompiled to SPIR-V and kept between starts; the cache can be turned off or cleared for each game.
ENG-12
Frame generationExperimental
A frame made between each two of the game's from their motion, so 60 fps shows as 120 on a 120 Hz display; it steps aside where it would cost frames.
ENG-13
Live frame cap
A frame rate cap and a frame generation pause that the launcher changes while the game runs (ANYPS5_FPS_CAP, ANYPS5_POWER_CONTROL).
ENG-14
Performance overlay
Minimal: one line of FPS, generated frames, frame time, GPU, CPU and memory. Detailed: a panel with the frame-time graph. Never in screenshots.
ENG-15
Window, full screen, resolution
Full screen or a window sized as a share of the display, vertical sync, and the output resolution of titles with a resolution patch.

Input6

ENG-16
Controllers in games
DualSense, DualShock 4, Xbox, Switch Pro and more, read by the engine through SDL.
ENG-17
Keyboard as a pad
A per-game layout maps every button and stick direction to a key, with a slow-walk key and ramps for sticks and triggers.
ENG-18
Mouse as the camera
The middle button or F7 captures the mouse to drive the right stick: sensitivity, curve, minimum tilt, top speed, smoothing, decay.
ENG-19
Remote pad bridge
Phones and browsers become DualSense pads through a local bridge: sticks, buttons, touchpad, motion, rumble, trigger effects and light bar.
ENG-20
Up to four players
Each phone or controller becomes the next player at its first press, and the game hears that player sign in, as on the console.
ENG-21
Press packet
A 24-byte packet holds buttons on player 1's pad for 50 to 2000 ms without taking a seat, so the quick menu can pause any game.

Sound, saves, trophies, fonts5

ENG-22
Sound
The console's audio output and decoders are rebuilt as host libraries, so games play their music, voices and effects.
ENG-23
Save data
Saves live with the installed game and survive unlocking again and engine updates.
ENG-24
Trophies recorded
Each unlock is recorded from the game's own trophy package, in the game's language when it has one.
ENG-25
System fonts
Games that ask for the console's fonts get Noto: Latin, Mono, Thai and Arabic built in, Japanese, Chinese and Korean fetched once and checked.
ENG-26
Logs that explain
Repeated lines fold after one notice, the last lines say how the game ended, and trace switches record more for a hard bug.

Online bridge7

ENG-27
Online bridgeExperimental
The engine talks to the launcher over loopback, with a fresh secret and an HMAC handshake every start. Nothing ever goes to Sony.
ENG-28
Signed in as youExperimental
Games see your AnyTogether handle as the online ID and your AnyTogether friends as their friends list; Plus checks pass.
ENG-29
Platform web APIExperimental
Requests pass untouched to the launcher, which answers Player Sessions, profiles and presence, and pushes events when players come and go.
ENG-30
Virtual LANExperimental
Each player gets an address in 198.18.0.0/15 from their user ID; LAN broadcasts and multicast reach every player.
ENG-31
Datagram P2PExperimental
P2P datagram sockets and UDP to a virtual address ride the bridge, up to 65,495 bytes a packet.
ENG-32
Stream P2PExperimental
Stream sockets between players ride a reliable, ordered channel, the same bytes on every system, so a Mac and a PC stream to each other.
ENG-33
Observation logExperimental
What each game asks for online is written per title as JSON lines, which is how we learn what a game needs next.

AnyPS5.app · macOS 14+

Launcher for Mac

The SwiftUI launcher laid out like the PS5 home screen: it finds, unlocks and starts your games, and keeps their controls, saves and trophies.

features: 54
Runs on: Mac

Home and library7

MAC-01
PS5-style home screen
A row of tiles with the selected game's artwork drifting behind, and its status, size, title ID, version and trophies.
MAC-02
Game library
Every game in a grid, from a games folder and its subfolders.
MAC-03
Three-step first start
Language, theme and games folder; the launcher offers to move itself to Applications.
MAC-04
Games that show up by themselves
A game copied in appears once its copy is complete, with a notice and its icon; plugged-in drives are looked at too.
MAC-05
Game music
Rest on a game and its theme song fades in as on the PS5, with volumes for the music and the interface sounds.
MAC-06
Start screen
The game's icon, a timer and a bar until its window appears; Esc cancels, and a game that cannot start says so.
MAC-07
Full screen launcher
Full screen the first time, then as you left it; F11, ⌃⌘F or Settings switch it.

Unlocking8

MAC-08
One-click unlock
Opens SELF containers, relinks to Mach-O and builds the app with a PS5-style progress bar; an encrypted dump is reported, not converted.
MAC-09
No extra space
Game files are APFS clones of the dump; on exFAT or HFS+ drives they are linked instead of copied.
MAC-10
Unity games
Unity's own modules and plugins are converted with the game, so titles like Silksong unlock in one click.
MAC-11
Free space check
Unlock looks at the drive first and says how much is needed and free, and the ways out.
MAC-12
New games prepared in the background
One at a time at background priority; it waits while you play and never runs on a battery below 30 %.
MAC-13
Faster unlocks
The relinker's output is kept, up to eight workers place the files, and an engine is checked in full only when it changes.
MAC-14
Update and Play
A game unlocked with an older engine offers Update and Play or Play Now; saves and trophies stay.
MAC-15
Engine picker
Engines from the project's releases, downloaded and checked, for every game or just one, or an engine you built yourself.

Per-game settings7

MAC-16
Settings for each game
Resolution, window or full screen and its size, vertical sync, frame generation, the overlay and the game's language, applied at every start.
MAC-17
Controls editor
Pick a button and press the key you want; in Unreal Engine games each button says what the game does with it.
MAC-18
Advanced settings
Stick dead zones, the mouse camera, keyboard ramps and the shader cache, each with a line on what it does.
MAC-19
Export and import settings
A game's keys and settings as one file, to share a setup that works.
MAC-20
Screenshots and clips
A game's F12 shots and clips in a grid and full screen; L1 and R1 go to the next game.
MAC-21
Save backups
Saves and trophies as a zip in Documents; a restore backs up what the game had first.
MAC-22
Links
anyps5://game and anyps5://play select or start a game; a folder opened with AnyPS5 can become the games folder.

Trophies3

MAC-23
Trophy list
As the console shows it: the weighted percentage, the count per grade, icons, descriptions, the day earned, progress like 23/51.
MAC-24
Trophy card over the game
Drops in with the trophy's icon, name, grade and sound, in full screen too, without taking the keyboard or the mouse.
MAC-25
Hidden trophies
Stay hidden until earned; Show reveals one, or always show them all.

Controllers and input10

MAC-26
Controllers screen
Each pad with its connection and battery, a live test, vibration test, light bar colour, ○ to confirm and a dead zone.
MAC-27
DualShock 3 over USB
Read with the launcher's own USB reader, since macOS does not support it.
MAC-28
Troubleshooter
Says what it sees (no pad, a pad without a layout, a low battery, Steam taking the pad) and what to do.
MAC-29
Controller vibration
Soft pulses for select, back, errors, trophies and calls, only while the launcher is in front.
MAC-30
PS button
Brings the launcher in front of the game and back; the game reads the pad only while its own window is in front.
MAC-31
Keyboard, mouse, hints
Arrows, Return and Esc, Q and E for L1 and R1, click and double-click; the key hints at the bottom can be clicked.
MAC-32
Settings with a pad
Move through Settings like a console: ✕ edits a value, ← → change it, L1 and R1 change the section.
MAC-33
Hints that follow you
The hints show the pad's buttons or the keys, whichever you used last, and switch live.
MAC-34
PS quick menu
PS over a game pauses it and opens Resume, Game Settings and Close Game; held, it asks Close game? or Quit AnyPS5.
MAC-35
Shortcuts
Home, Quick Menu, Screenshot, Save Clip and Full Screen on any key or pad chord, pressed or held; clashes are refused.

Look6

MAC-36
Animated themes
Cosmic, Aurora and Sunset, an accent colour, and your own picture or looping video behind.
MAC-37
Glass
A see-through window with your desktop frosted behind, Liquid Glass panels on macOS 26 and an Ice accent; Reduce Transparency keeps it solid.
MAC-38
Theme Studio
Make your own theme (motion, colours, accent, picture or video, menu music) and save it as one .anyps5theme file.
MAC-39
Themes from the Hub
Themes people share, installed with one press; Share on the Hub sends yours.
MAC-40
Profile picture

MAC-41
English and Turkish
The whole launcher in both; the phone follows its language.

Capture and broadcast4

MAC-42

The last seconds of play, picture and sound, saved as an MP4 with Create, ⌥F12 or the phone's Create button.
MAC-43
Longer replay buffer
The last 30 s, 1, 3 or 5 minutes in memory; a press of Create saves a clip, a hold takes a screenshot.
MAC-44
Screenshots
F12 from anywhere, into Pictures › AnyPS5 or a folder you choose.
MAC-45
Broadcast live
Twitch, YouTube or any RTMP/RTMPS server at 720p60, 1080p30 or 1080p60, with a microphone, live stats and reconnects; the key stays masked.

Mac integration9

MAC-46
Add to Steam
AnyPS5 and each unlocked game in your Steam library with Cosmic artwork, starting straight into the game.
MAC-47
Save Sync
Saves and trophies the same on all your Macs through iCloud Drive or any folder; whatever is replaced is backed up first.
MAC-48
Self-updates
Checks at start and every six hours, downloads quietly, checks the signature, then offers Restart Now or Later.
MAC-49
Update channel
Stable or Nightly; going back to Stable never downgrades.
MAC-50
Crash reports
Why a game stopped, in plain words; Export Report and Open Issue with your name, email and tokens taken out.
MAC-51
Low Power Mode notice
A card says when Low Power Mode holds the display at 60 Hz and frame generation cannot help.
MAC-52
Battery & Heat
On battery or when the Mac runs hot: a frame cap, lower resolution, frame generation paused, a lighter launcher; Undo in the quick menu.
MAC-53
Discord Rich Presence
The game you play on your Discord profile, as itself with its own name and icon when Discord knows it.
MAC-54
One-line install
curl | sh puts AnyPS5.app in Applications without the quarantine warning and installs Rosetta 2 if it is missing.

Unlocking and the engine7

PC-07
Unlock and play
Opens SELF containers byte for byte as upstream does, relinks for the host and lays the game out with its libraries.
PC-08
An engine that downloads itself
Resumable, checksum-checked downloads, versions side by side, updates offered, or a folder of your own.
PC-09
The AnyPS5-ARM engine
One switch to our signed Windows and Linux engine, which the phone pad and online play need.
PC-10
No copies across drives
A dump on another drive is linked, not copied; where no link can be made it says how many GB and why first.
PC-11
Room checked, games prepared
Unlock checks the drive first; new games are prepared at the lowest priority, never on a low battery.
PC-12
glibc check
On Linux the launcher says when an engine needs a newer glibc than the system has.

PC-21
Shortcuts
Launcher actions on any key or pad chord, pressed or held; conflicts are refused.

PC-23
Cosmic, Aurora, Sunset
The Mac launcher's animated themes and its accent colours, with the Ice accent for Glass.

Trophy card over the game
A PS5-style card with the trophy sound over the game and a picture of the moment; a notification on Wayland.

Add to Steam
AnyPS5 as a non-Steam game with Cosmic artwork, so Big Picture, Steam Input and the Deck's Game Mode start it.
PC-31
Add My Games Too
Each unlocked game gets its own entry and art and starts straight into the game; the launcher closes when it ends.
PC-32
Careful with Steam's file
Writes only while Steam is closed, keeps a backup, and Remove from Steam takes out only AnyPS5's entries.

System8

PC-33
Installers
A per-user Windows setup that needs no admin, and a portable zip; AppImage, .deb and .tar.gz on Linux.
PC-34
Signed, quiet updates
A new version downloads in the background, checked against the signed checksums, then Restart Now or Later.
PC-35
Crash reports
Why a game stopped, Save crash_log.txt, Copy Report for Discord, and a pre-filled issue with personal details taken out.
PC-36
Detailed logging
Trace for one start, every start, or a whole session with --trace; logs are capped so they never fill the disk.
PC-37

100 MB of cloud storage
Shared by saves and media, with what each takes shown in Settings › Storage.
NET-48
Family controls
Parents set age limits, daily play time and who a child can message, call or play with; launchers follow them offline too.
NET-49
Asking for more time
Play time is warned about before it runs out, the game closes gently, and a child can ask a parent for more.

Safety and running your own6

NET-50
Reports and moderation
Report posts, media, communities, events and private names; moderators restrict with a reason, and you can appeal.
NET-51
Update Required
When a version is retired, the launcher says so once and offers its own update; the phone opens the downloads page.
NET-52
Installable website
Add the site to your home screen or dock and it opens in its own window.
NET-53
Open source, self-hosted
MIT. docker compose runs the whole server on one machine with HTTPS and an optional TURN relay; launchers point at it in Settings.
NET-54
Encrypted backups
Scheduled, encrypted backups of the database and files to a target you choose, and restores.
NET-55
Tested together
Every client is checked against one real server in a cross-client test.

Everything else

And the rest

The browser pad, the Steam Deck, signed releases and the languages everything speaks.

Runs on: MacWindowsLinuxiOSAndroidWeb

Browser pad2

EXT-01
Play from a browser
Scan a QR code and a phone without the app becomes a DualSense in its browser, as player 2 to 4, with light bar, player lights and vibration on Android.
EXT-02
Locked down by default
Local network only: a one-time link for two minutes that becomes a cookie, origin and host checks, rate limits, a server only while wanted.

Steam Deck1

EXT-03
Game Mode
AnyPS5 Desktop added to Steam starts in the Deck's Game Mode like any other game, with Steam Input.

Updates that check first
Launchers refuse an update or a downloaded engine whose signature does not match a key they already trust.
EXT-06
Downloads with checksums
Every file of the latest releases by platform, with its version, size, date and SHA-256.

Languages1

EXT-07
English and Turkish everywhere
