Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition on AnyPS5
Windows is playable — Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition (the PS5 title PPSA34971, content 01.000.002, not Hollow Knight: Silksong), logos, menu and in-game at 60 FPS and menus at 120 FPS — on unmodified main 30f961266 (Windows 11 Pro / Ryzen 5 5500 / GeForce RTX 3070), with no playability blocker in the cited report; Linux and macOS were not checked. Cited commit 30f961266 (13 Oct) predates v0.1.3 (3fd1cc393b, 20 Oct). 30f961266 is the merge of #4973 and is in v0.1.3. The cited furthest playable used plain main, with no other PRs. The dump's SELF containers were unwrapped with tools/unwrap_self.py, open as #5588 at report time; #5588 has since merged (14 Oct 2026) and is in v0.1.3. That unwrap is a conversion step, not a game patch. No cited run tested the official release zip. Whether the current official release zip matches this report is unknown, so an official zip may stop earlier. This title is not in the official table. Build source is main — the cited furthest playable used unmodified main 30f961266, not a release zip. Audio and stick input were not checked in the cited report. A single self-report is not an official-table row.

- Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200) / Ryzen 5 5500 / GeForce RTX 3070 (driver 32.0.16.1062) / 32 GiB RAM / NVMe SSD / WinLibs GCC 15.2.0 r7 / Release (discussion #5593, 14 Oct 2026): Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition PPSA34971 content 01.000.002 on unmodified main 30f961266, with no other PRs. Windows playable — boots, logos, menu and in-game at 60 FPS, and menus at 120 FPS (window counter). The window presents a 1920x1080 guest surface. The shader disk cache warms across runs (114 hits, 30 misses, 30 writes over two runs). A save slot was written, _sd\savedata1\user1.dat (49,390 bytes). 30f961266 predates v0.1.3 and is the merge of #4973, which is in v0.1.3. Single community self-report.
- Same Windows host and thread: relinked with relinker --windows --windows-gui --registry --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins source/eboot.elf out/HollowKnight.exe. Those flags are relinker flags, not a game patch. The eboot.bin and eleven *.prx are decrypted SELF containers and were unwrapped with tools/unwrap_self.py first (open as #5588 at report time; #5588 has since merged on 14 Oct 2026 and is in v0.1.3). That unwrap is a conversion step, not a game patch. Buttons were sent through APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE with tools/pad_input.py. No extra title patch file is named as required.
Blocked
- Current blocker named in discussion #5593: none for playability. A storage-image hazard is live every frame on two addresses (guest memory changed while GPU results were pending); nothing visibly wrong was noticed. Whether APS5_STORE_AT_FLIP=1 changes that was not checked.
- Not checked in the cited report: Linux, macOS, audio, stick input, AMD or Intel GPU, long sessions, or completion. A single self-report is not an official-table row.
Unknown
- Official-table membership. This title is a community report (official: false), not a tested-compatibility table row.
- Whether the current official release zip matches this report. The cited play used unmodified main 30f961266, which predates v0.1.3 and is the merge of #4973 (already in v0.1.3), not a release zip.
- Linux. No cited Linux session of this title in discussion #5593.
- macOS. No cited macOS session of this title in discussion #5593.
- AMD or Intel GPU playable reports. The cited Windows host is GeForce RTX 3070 only.
- Audio. Discussion #5593 says audio was not checked.
- Stick input. Discussion #5593 says stick input was not checked; buttons were sent through APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE.
- Network or multiplayer. The cited report does not mention network play.
- How far play went past the in-game note, or completion.
- Whether APS5_STORE_AT_FLIP=1 changes the live storage-image hazard.
