# Devil May Cry: an experimental PS2 static recompilation

> dmc-recomp translates the PlayStation 2 PAL release of Devil May Cry into native PC code through PS2Recomp and a project runtime. Its pipeline rebuilds generated code locally from the user’s own game executable, while research notes and patches track boot, CD services, MPEG playback, rendering and gameplay behavior.
