This recompiles God Hand for the PlayStation 2, USA SLUS-21503, into a Windows program with PS2Recomp. The README says play has been tested from the opening through stage 3, past the Gorilla Mask and Mad Midget Five fights, at 60 fps and 3x resolution. Later stages and the ending have not been played.
