# SonsOfSparta-PS5 Native
**God of War: Sons of Sparta for PS5, running on Windows through AnyPS5.**
Made possible by the AnyPS5 project. The source code is in this repository and the build is on the Releases page.
## How to play
1. Download `SonsOfSparta-PS5-Native-0.4.1-win64.zip` and extract it anywhere.
2. Copy **your own** decrypted game files into the same folder as `SonsOfSparta-PS5.exe`:
 `eboot.bin` (or a decrypted `eboot.elf`), `sce_sys`, `sce_module` and `Media`.
3. Double-click `SonsOfSparta-PS5.exe`, check the settings and press **Play**.
Nothing to install. The very first start prepares the game from your files: a small window explains it and it takes about two minutes. Later starts are fast. Your own files are never modified.
**Show launcher at startup** (in the launcher's Launcher group) controls the settings window. Turn it off to start the game directly with your saved settings. The first-start and controller icon preparation windows still appear when they are needed, and errors are still shown. To show the settings window again, edit `launcher.ini` and set `show=1` in the `[launcher]` section.
Closing the game window ends it within a few seconds. Logs are in the `logs` folder.
## Highlights
- The game's own x86-64 code runs directly on your CPU, with no CPU emulation. The PS5 system libraries and GPU commands are reimplemented through a compatibility layer, similar to Wine and DXVK
- Playable from the logo through gameplay, with music and sound effects
- About 60 FPS in menus and gameplay on our test PC (RTX 5070 Ti), with optional 120 FPS and unlocked frame rate in the launcher
- Keyboard and any XInput/DualSense/DualShock gamepad; saves are kept next to the game
## Controls
Any XInput/DualSense/DualShock gamepad works. Keyboard, mouse and gamepad can be used at the same time.

F11 toggles fullscreen. The middle mouse button turns mouse-aim mode on or off (the mouse is captured and drives the right stick).
F10 opens and closes the In-Game Cheat Menu on the right side of the screen, which is mouse and keyboard usable. Every cheat and item action is controlled from this menu, and every cheat starts off each time the game starts. Closing the menu with its X button or F10 does not turn any active cheat off. While the menu is open the game receives no controller, keyboard or mouse input. F11 always toggles Borderless Fullscreen, and F12 is unused.
**Controller Button Icons** in the launcher chooses the button icons shown in game. **Automatic** (the default) shows Xbox icons when an Xbox controller is connected and PlayStation icon
