AnyPS5 Desktop 0.1.16 (Windows + Linux preview)
AnyPS5 Desktop 0.1.16: a small follow-up to 0.1.15 with a tidier Messages screen, a one-sentence notice when a game is ready without some files and a clearer Check for Updates line. The engine stays AnyPS5-ARM 0.2.29's Windows and Linux engine (5ca076a87).
This is still an early preview. Please report what works and what doesn't in the issues; a game's crash report, and the launcher's own, makes that easy.
What's new
- A shorter note when a game is ready without some files. After an unlock that left a few modules out, the notice is one sentence instead of a list of every file: the files are in the unlock's log, and encrypted ones still say to dump the game again.
- Messages: the title has its own line, with Back level with it at the right edge, and the list and the conversation start together under it.
- Check for Updates reads "Newest: 0.1.16 · current: 0.1.15" (Turkish "mevcut").
- Built by CI. All five files of this release come from the repository's CI, from the release commit.
Install
Windows 10/11 (x64): run AnyPS5-Desktop-Setup-0.1.16-x64.exe (per user, no admin needed; it installs over earlier versions). SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway. Portable: unzip AnyPS5-Desktop-windows-x64.zip and run anyps5_desktop.exe (SDL2.dll and the Visual C++ runtime are beside it). Already on 0.1.3 or later: the launcher offers this update by itself.
Linux (x64):
- AppImage:
chmod +x AnyPS5-Desktop-0.1.16-x86_64.AppImage, then run it. - Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install ./anyps5-desktop_0.1.16_amd64.deb. - Archive: unpack the .tar.gz and run
AnyPS5-Desktop/anyps5_desktop. - The launcher runs on glibc 2.34+ (Ubuntu 22.04 or newer). AnyPS5-ARM's Linux engine needs glibc 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04 or newer); upstream AnyPS5's Linux engine needs glibc 2.38+ (Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Fedora 39 or newer).
Then open the launcher, press Download the AnyPS5 engine (or update it in Settings → AnyPS5 Engine) and choose your games folder. For clips, install ffmpeg (Windows: winget install ffmpeg, or put ffmpeg.exe beside the launcher; Linux: sudo apt install ffmpeg). Online play is in Settings → AnyTogether → Online play (experimental), off by default. Nothing ever goes to Sony.
Checksums: SHA256SUMS lists every file, and SHA256SUMS.sig is its Ed25519 signature with the AnyPS5 release key (f8fe0d55df962105).
Requirements: a CPU and GPU that AnyPS5 supports (see upstream), and decrypted copies of games you own.
