Executable porting · Linux and Windows

No emulator.
No separate runtime.

AnyPS5 relinks an executable into the target system’s native format and supplies implementations of the system prx libraries for dynamic linking. The converted program runs as a normal process and calls those native libraries.

System libraries

85.41%2,564 of 3,002 functions

growsCounts only functions already declared in core/libs/prx, not every function the firmware exports. The total rises as more are declared.

GPU shader instructions

98.03%1,143 of 1,166 instructions

fixedCounts against AMD’s public RDNA 1 + RDNA 2 instruction list. Eleven decoded opcodes outside that list are not counted.

A function counts once it no longer calls NotImplemented_nid_no_patch; an instruction counts once the decoder recognizes it.

How a program is ported

from docs/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md

01 · relinkNative executable

The relinker reads imports by NID, checks syscalls, filters unused NIDs and builds a SysV dynamic section, then patches an ELF for Linux or a PE for Windows.

02 · linkNative libraries

Each library in core/libs/prx builds as a shared library with its exports renamed to their NIDs. The OS loader binds imports by NID.

03 · recompileSPIR-V shaders

The shader recompiler produces SPIR-V, validated with SPIRV-Tools when built with ANYPS5_ENABLE_SPIRV_TOOLS.

Fails loudly

Unsupported or unexpected states strictly throw std::runtime_error. what() is printed to stderr and the process terminates.
