Prepare your dump

AnyPS5 works from the files of an installed game, dumped from your own console with your own homebrew tools. The project does not provide a dumper and cannot help you get games you do not own.

What a usable dump contains

The converter needs the game’s files in decrypted form:

app0/
    eboot.bin          the game's executable, as a plain ELF file
    sce_module/        the game's own libraries
    sce_sys/
        param.json     the title ID and name
    ...                everything else the game ships with

• The executable must be a plain ELF file. Encrypted SELF containers are not accepted. If your dumper produced decrypted SELF containers, unwrap them first with tools/unwrap_self.py from the AnyPS5 repository.
• Keep sce_sys/. Many games read param.json at start-up and fail without it.
• Keep the rest of the game files. The converter only rewrites the executable and modules, but the game needs its data files next to them when it runs.

You can give the web converter the whole app0 folder, or a ZIP of it. Large files that are not the executable or modules can stay in the archive.

Write down the content version

The content version (for example 01.004.000) matters when you share results. Different versions of the same game can behave differently, and game patches are tied to exact bytes. You find it in sce_sys/param.json as contentVersion.
