# Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout: a native static recompilation of the PS1 game

> Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout statically translates MIPS code from the user's NTSC-U PlayStation disc into C and compiles it for Windows or Linux. Its own runtime handles GPU, GTE, SPU, MDEC/XA, CD, and memory-card functions. The author reports playing the main game modes on Windows; Linux builds and launches but has not received equivalent gameplay testing.
