# Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere — a local PlayStation static recompilation

> The Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere project configures psxrecomp and recomp-ui to generate a native build of the USA PlayStation release from a user's disc image. It includes title-specific symbols, configuration and a setup host that collects local inputs. The author reports gameplay in a private package, with exact release-package checks still open.
