Run PS5 games on your PC with AnyPS5

AnyPS5 is not an emulator. It takes a PS5 game's program and rewrites it into a normal Windows or Linux app, so it runs directly on your PC.

Before you start: read this

AnyPS5 does not include any games, firmware or keys. You need your own legally obtained, decrypted copy of a game you own. This guide doesn't cover how to get those files. The project is early, so only some games work right now.

What you need

• A 64-bit PC (x86-64) running Windows or Linux
• Your game's files: one decrypted executable (ELF), plus its sce_sys/ and sce_module/ folders
• Desktop Chrome or Edge (for the easy method)
• A controller, or keyboard and mouse

Step 0 · Don't skip

Check if your game works

Open the community compatibility map before converting anything: alxcbtw.github.io/anyps5-roadmap. If your game has known blockers, it won't run yet.

Method 1 · The easy way (in your browser)

No installing, no code. The conversion runs on your computer, and your files never leave your device.

STEP 1

Put the game files in a ZIP

Zip the folder that contains the executable, sce_sys/ and sce_module/. You can also select the folder directly.

STEP 2

Open the converter

Go to boykopovar.github.io/AnyPS5 in desktop Chrome or Edge, and drop your ZIP onto the page.

STEP 3

Pick your system

Choose Windows .exe or Linux .elf. If you have an Intel processor, turn on the option to convert AMD-specific instructions for Intel.

STEP 4

Choose how to save it

Small games: in-memory download. Big games: save ZIP to disk or save to a folder.

STEP 5

Convert and play

Click Convert & save, check the log for errors, then open the .exe (Windows) or .elf (Linux).

Method 2 · For big games (command line)

Use this if your game is over the browser limit (256 MiB). You'll use the relinker tool from the project's GitHub.

STEP 1

Arrange your files like this

source/    input.elf    sce_module/        (the game's modules)

STEP 2

Convert it

Windows:

relinker --windows source/input.elf app.exe

Linux:

relinker source/input.elf app.elf

Intel CPU? Add --to-intel.

STEP 3

Set up the folder next to your app

app.exe  (or app.elf) libs/    *.prx app0/    (the game's resources)    sce_module/        (converted modules)

Copy the system libraries (*.prx) into libs/. The tool prints where it saved the converted modules.

STEP 4

Launch it

Windows (PowerShell):

.\app.exe

Linux:

chmod +x app.elf ./app.elf

🎮 Controller or keyboard?

Controllers work out of the box, including sticks and triggers. To play with keyboard and mouse, set your keys in the anyps5-input.ini file.
