KytyPS5 Android v0.1.0-alpha

Note

Superseded by the automatic Nightly builds. Nightlies use a new signing key, so uninstall this alpha once before installing one.

First public alpha of KytyPS5 Android: PS5 games on Android ARM64 (FEXCore JIT + Vulkan on Mesa Turnip / Adreno).

Warning

Experimental. Developed and tested on one device only (OnePlus Pad 3, Adreno 830, 16 GB). Other Adreno devices are untested. Use only game dumps you own.

Download

• KytyPS5-Android-v0.1.0-alpha.apk: install it and open KytyPS5. The Mainline Turnip v32 GPU driver (by whitebelyash) is bundled and selected by default.
• SHA-256: d63e81a68844717ae99ff3b392e9760c4e1efaa5d783bca5501ef49a31a3492c
• This build is debug-signed (it is an alpha). Later alpha builds will install over it.

What runs (OnePlus Pad 3)

Game	State	Speed
Vampire Survivors	Playable	~60 fps
Totally Reliable Delivery Service	Nearly playable	28–35 fps
Astro Bot	Runs, slow	13–17 fps; 16–20 fps with the Performance mode preset
Commandos: Origins (UE5)	Boots, very slow	~2 fps (turn on the res50 preset)

Highlights

• Launcher: game library (folders and .exfat images), on-screen DualSense controls and a GPU driver picker.
• Per-game presets, off by default:
  • Astro Bot Performance mode: 720p render size plus half-rate lighting, +14–20%.
  • Commandos res50: UE5 at 50% screen percentage, ~2.3× faster.
• Delivery Service speed-ups, default on Android: stream-path fixes for small CPU-written buffers plus the SRT memo in auto mode.
• Mobile GPU work: shader translation tuned for Adreno/Turnip, half-rate ray-traced lighting with edge re-trace, and a multi-threaded GPU front-end with automatic fan-out.

Nightly (0.1.0-nightly.6)

Automatic build of 8a8fc68c (ci: release notes mention the one-time uninstall of v0.1.0-alpha).

Install KytyPS5-Android-0.1.0-nightly.6.apk. The Turnip GPU driver is bundled. Nightlies install over each other.
Coming from v0.1.0-alpha? Uninstall it once first; it was signed with a different key.
