# Brave Fencer Musashi decomp port: a hybrid PC runtime with matched C

> Brave Fencer Musashi decomp port is an experimental PC port of the USA PlayStation game that combines compiled host code with a CPU interpreter for unconverted game code. The author reports reconstructing functions as byte-matched C, using selected functions in public builds, and adding further matched source beyond what those builds use.
