On macOS the host-pointer import is copied into a Metal buffer when it is imported, and the HostWrite window around it is what marks those pages written so the driver re-syncs them. Without it the depth plane a draw writes back into guest memory is never re-synced, and agc_driver_depth_plane_buffer_memory reads stale data. Only the dma-buf import keeps the watch armed, which is all agc_write_tracking needs. Tested on an Apple M2 Pro (x86_64 under Rosetta 2, MoltenVK 1.4.2): agc_write_tracking and agc_driver_depth_plane_buffer_memory both pass.
About
Tool for automatic executables porting to Linux and Windows.
The relinker-only build runs on macOS, including Apple silicon.
Web converter - files stay on your device.
Includes a relinker that converts executable to the target system's native format and implementations of system prx libraries suitable for dynamic linking. No emulation or separate runtime process.

Status
* System libraries: percentage of the functions known to the project so far (declared in core/libs/prx), not of every PS5 system function. The total grows as more functions are declared.
Unsupported or unexpected states strictly throw std::runtime_error. what() is printed to stderr and the process terminates.
The shader recompiler successfully produces SPIR-V (validated via Spirv-Tools when built with ANYPS5_ENABLE_SPIRV_TOOLS).
Compatibility
Per-game progress (stage reached, open blockers, libraries and GPU coverage) is tracked on the blocker map, a community project built from public GitHub data (source). Test reports go in the Game bring-up discussions, one thread per title.
Input mapping
SDL-mapped game controllers are supported, including analog sticks and triggers. Keyboard and mouse controls can be configured with an anyps5-input.ini file. See input mapping for the supported devices and configuration format.
