AnyPS5-ARM 0.2.3 — Discord, faster launches, update or play

AnyPS5-ARM 0.2.3 shows what you play on Discord, opens games without the long "Verifying…" wait, and asks before playing a game that has an update.

What's new

• Discord Rich Presence. While a game runs, your Discord profile shows it. A game Discord knows (Hollow Knight: Silksong, Stray, DOOM…) shows as itself, with its own name and icon and "AnyPS5 Launcher" under it; any other game shows under AnyPS5 with its name. It needs the Discord app open on the Mac, and can be turned off in Settings → Behaviour.
• No more "Verifying…" on every launch. macOS checked the whole app again each time a game had written a save into it, which for a big game took a minute or more. The game's files now live next to its app (in .AnyPS5/Data), so macOS checks the app once, the first time, and games open at once after that.
• Update or play. Pressing Play on a game with an update asks whether to Update and Play or Play Now.
• About shows who made AnyPS5-ARM and links to its GitHub page and to the AnyPS5 project it is built on.

Games unlocked with 0.2.2 show Update available: updating them moves their files out of the app and keeps their saves and trophies.

Install

curl -fsSL https://github.com/utkuhalis/AnyPS5-ARM/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

It puts AnyPS5.app in Applications (replacing the older version) and installs Rosetta 2 if it is missing. With AnyPS5-macOS.zip instead: unzip it and open the app; the first time, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Requirements: an Apple silicon Mac, macOS 14 or newer, Rosetta 2, and decrypted dumps of games you own.
