Linux conversion workflow

A source-attributed Linux relinker workflow with documented runtime and Vulkan access constraints.

Prerequisites

  • A compatible x86-64 Linux host and official upstream tool artifacts or a documented self-build.
  • A clean, lawfully obtained ELF input with documented module directory layout.
  • Target-OS system libraries placed only in the documented libs/ runtime directory.

Documented workflow

The official Usage guide accepts bundled ELF modules in sce_module/, sce_modules/, or prx/ beside the input. All three absent, or both sce_module/ and sce_modules/, is an upstream-documented error.

Linux ELF is the default output format. This is the exact command documented upstream.

                relinker source/input.elf app.elf

Place built target-OS system libraries in libs/, app resources in app0/, and generated guest modules in their printed path. The upstream guide distinguishes these from original title modules.

Upstream documents setting the executable bit and launching app.elf. Its Vulkan section documents /dev/udmabuf access and BDA access failures; evaluate them for your own system rather than changing permissions blindly.

Limits and safety

  • Documented upstream; not locally executed by AnyPS5.site.
  • Conversion or relinking does not guarantee booting, gameplay, performance, or completion.
  • Linux device and driver behavior varies; this guide does not certify a distribution or GPU.
