Case study

Final Fantasy Tactics Recompiled: a local PlayStation recompilation

Final Fantasy Tactics Recompiled uses PSXRecomp to generate and compile the USA PlayStation game's code from a user-supplied disc. Its setup kits target Windows, Linux and macOS and include a game-specific framework patch and optional 16:9 battle view. The author reports validation of the title, church scenes and first battle; full-game behavior remains untested.
