  "description_en": "Castlevania: Curse of Darkness is ported from PlayStation 2 to Windows by translating its MIPS code to C++ and rebuilding PS2 hardware functions as PC code. The project includes a recompiler, a VU1 microprogram compiler, graphics and I/O implementations, and game hooks for widescreen display, a minimap and sprinting. Game-derived code is generated locally from the user's European disc image.",
  "description_zh": "该项目将 PS2 游戏 Castlevania: Curse of Darkness 的 MIPS 代码静态重编译为 C++，并以 PC 代码替代图形、音频及 I/O 等硬件功能，实现 Windows 原生移植。仓库包含重编译器、VU1 微程序编译器，以及宽屏、小地图和冲刺功能的游戏钩子；游戏派生代码由用户的欧洲版光盘镜像在本地生成。",
