Breath of Fire III Recompiled: a PlayStation overlay recompilation

Breath of Fire III Recompiled translates the Japanese PlayStation game's MIPS code and disc-extracted overlays into C for a native build. Its documentation maps overlay loading, text and game systems; the author reports play through the opening areas while dynamic overlay entry-point coverage remains in progress.
