## How the Library is organized

The Library is an index, not a store. Each entry records a verification rating, the build it was last checked against, and any title-specific notes. Start with [Stable titles](/compat/stable-titles), then expand into Beta once your baseline is solid.

Ratings are defined in [Status definitions](/compat/status-definitions). A title moves from Test to Beta to Stable only when repeated runs confirm it — see [Compatibility methodology](/log/compatibility-methodology) for the exact procedure.

- Stable: complete a full session without blocking defects at default settings.

- Beta: playable with documented workarounds or minor defects.

- Test: boots far enough to evaluate; not yet playable end to end.

## Before you index a title

Own your library. Meridian accepts only dumps of PlayStation 5 discs you already own — it ships with no games and no firmware. Keep your folder layout stable; the indexer records paths, not copies.

Install the official PS5UPDATE.PUP from Sony's system-software page first, using File then Install Firmware in the launcher. The walkthrough is [Install firmware](/protocol/install-firmware). Without firmware, indexing succeeds but nothing boots.

If the launcher reports a missing runtime on first start, install Microsoft's official Visual C++ 2015–2022 x64 runtime, covered in [Missing runtime](/protocol/missing-runtime). Then [Download Meridian](/download) and re-run the installer check.

## Featured verifications

Eight titles carry full setup notes with their own covers: [Astro Bot](/library/astro-bot-ps5-emulator), [Marvel's Spider-Man 2](/library/marvel-s-spider-man-2-ps5-emulator), [God of War Ragnarök](/library/god-of-war-ragnarok-ps5-emulator), [Demon's Souls](/library/demon-s-souls-ps5-emulator), [Alan Wake 2](/library/alan-wake-2-ps5-emulator), [Armored Core VI](/library/armored-core-vi-fires-of-rubicon-ps5-emulator), [Death Stranding 2](/library/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach-ps5-emulator), and [Gran Turismo 7](/library/gran-turismo-7-ps5-emulator). Hundreds of other Game — PS5 emulator pages exist; missing art uses a generic desk photo, never another title's cover.

Each note lists its rating, expected defects, and the settings used during verification. Pair them with [Minimum and recommended hardware](/hardware/minimum-recommended) before judging performance on your own rig.

## FAQ

### Does Meridian include games?

No. Meridian ships with no games and no firmware. Index dumps of discs you already own; 400+ titles are recognized by the launcher.

### Why is a title listed twice with different ratings?

Ratings are per build. The catalog keeps the latest verification and the prior one during transition weeks so regressions are visible.

### Where do I start?

Install firmware via File then Install Firmware, index one Stable title per [Index your library](/protocol/index-your-library), and confirm it boots per [Boot system software](/protocol/boot-system-software).
