How to use AnyPS5

01 / Choose your route

The native relinker gives you a terminal workflow. The upstream browser converter offers a local file-selection workflow. This site explains those routes; it does not convert or collect your files.

• Start with the download guide and keep the release tag or source revision in your notes.
• Use the instructions for your actual tool version. A newer main-branch flag may not exist in an older release.
• Keep the original input in a separate folder and write conversion output elsewhere.

02 / Check the input

Upstream documents a clean ELF input and bundled module directories beside it. SELF containers need preparation before conversion. Follow the upstream input rules rather than changing a file extension.

Use a short, easy-to-find workspace for your first attempt. Record the executable name and module folder before running the command. A missing input is a setup issue; it does not tell you whether a game is compatible.

03 / Convert for the target OS

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

relinker source/input.elf app.elf

These examples follow the reviewed main-branch usage document. Check relinker --help in the build you downloaded. Choosing a filename alone is not a substitute for selecting the output format.

04 / Assemble and launch

The architecture separates host replacements from converted guest modules. Use the generated module paths from the conversion log. Preserve a copy of that log alongside your setup notes.

Launch from a terminal so you can keep the first failure message. Next, use the troubleshooting guide to decide whether the failure belongs to conversion, loading or runtime behavior.

05 / Record a useful result

• Write down the release or commit, OS, CPU, GPU and driver.
• Describe the exact point reached: conversion, window, menu or a specific gameplay scene.
• Save the complete first error and the command that produced it.
• Change one variable, repeat the same test and compare the result.
