God of War: Chains of Olympus: an experimental PSP hybrid recompilation

The God of War: Chains of Olympus project combines game-specific ahead-of-time translated Allegrex blocks with an interpreter fallback for PSP code. Its runtime implements partial PSP system services, graphics display lists and SDL2 audio, while diagnostic logs and traces track the game's startup and rendering behavior.
