# AnyPS5

> AnyPS5 is a GPL-2.0-only C++ project that relinks a decrypted PS5 executable into a native x86-64 Linux, Windows or macOS binary and supplies reimplemented PS5 system libraries plus a shader recompiler; it is not an emulator. Game support is partial and tracked per title. You must supply your own legally obtained game files; none are included. The CPU needs Zen 2 extensions such as AVX2. Flag: the repo gained about 40k stars in roughly 74 days, unusually fast, though its 10,000+ commits and PRs from many contributors look like real activity. Free tool; replaces no paid product.

## What it replaces
Nothing people pay for: a free tool, listed because people search for it.

## Facts, with sources

| Question | Status | Answer | Source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Runs on my machine? | Confirmed | Yes; converter runs locally (CLI or in-browser), converted games run natively | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5#readme | 2026-10-18 |
| Code licence | Partial | GPL-2.0-only (copyleft) | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5#readme | 2026-10-18 |
| Model weights licence | Confirmed | No separate model weights | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5#readme | 2026-10-18 |
| Commercial use | Partial | GPL-2.0 conditions apply to distributed copies; game files you convert keep their own licence terms | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/blob/main/LICENSE | 2026-10-18 |
| Paid services needed? | Confirmed | None required (you supply your own game files) | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5#readme | 2026-10-18 |
| Hardware | Confirmed | x86-64 CPU with the PS5's Zen 2 extensions (AVX2, FMA, F16C, BMI1/2, LZCNT, MOVBE); some titles need an AMD CPU | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/blob/main/docs/user/USAGE.md | 2026-10-18 |
| Operating systems | Confirmed | Linux and Windows output with system libraries; macOS output (x86-64, Rosetta) without released libraries | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/blob/main/docs/dev/BUILD.md | 2026-10-18 |
| Setup effort | Confirmed | Hard; web converter is simple, but running games needs prepared files and libraries, and a full build is CMake from source | https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/blob/main/docs/dev/BUILD.md | 2026-10-18 |
