# God of War: Ascension — static recompilation of the PS3 game

> Statically recompiles God of War: Ascension's PS3 code into a native Windows executable with ps3recomp's PPU and SPU lifters. The repository supplies game-specific runtime hooks, analysis scripts and build guidance; users provide their own game dump and decrypted ELF. The author describes the result as an early, nonplayable research build.
