The Messenger on AnyPS5
Linux is at menus — The Messenger (the PS5 title PPSA24651, content 01.000.000), the story intro, the title screen, the title menu, and a new save slot's name entry at 59.94 FPS — on unmodified main b5d763770a (Linux 7.2.9 / Ryzen 9 7950X / Radeon RX 6650 XT), with gameplay not verified because scripted name confirmation landed at the wrong moment; Windows and macOS were not checked. Latest release v0.1.3 is 3fd1cc393b (20 Oct). Cited commit b5d763770a (21 Oct, 09:20 UTC) is unreleased main, newer than v0.1.3 (3fd1cc393b, 20 Oct, 07:07 UTC). b5d763770a is the merge of #8955 and is not in v0.1.3. The cited furthest menus used plain main, with no pull requests on top. Relinked with relinker --registry --rpath <build>/core/libs/libs --module-dir Media/Modules --module-dir Media/Plugins eboot.elf app.elf. Those flags are relinker flags, not a game patch. Unity IL2CPP title. Host imports: 176 made, 0 refused, 2 failed. APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=installed was set as a precaution. APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS is a host environment variable, not a game patch. No extra title patch file is named as required. No cited run checked 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 menus used unmodified main b5d763770a, not a release zip. What is shown: the story intro; the title screen ("Press OPTIONS"); the title menu (Play, Options); a new save slot and the name entry screen. The title screen and the name screen both confirm with Options, not Cross; a scripted Cross-only run stays on the title screen. Scripted input did not reach gameplay, because the name confirmation landed at the wrong moment, so gameplay is not verified. All runs held 59.94 FPS until stopped at their 240 s limits. There was no driver stop and no GPU fault. Those FPS values are a report, not a benchmark. Menus on that cited main is not an In game claim. A single self-report is not an official-table row. Current blocker: gameplay was not reached; scripted name confirmation landed at the wrong moment. Conversion and the report were prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code). Gameplay, audio output, saves across restarts, and long sessions were not checked.
