Case study

Fukami: a Ridge Racer V static-recompilation port

Fukami builds native Windows, Apple silicon macOS and Steam Deck versions of Ridge Racer V by translating its PS2 MIPS code to C++ ahead of time. Its runtime models PS2 timing and services, recompiles VU microcode and integrates a PCSX2-derived GS renderer, using the player's own disc image.
