Case study

Haze Recomp: an experimental PlayStation 3 static recompilation

Haze Recomp uses ps3recomp to lift the PlayStation 3 game Haze and supporting firmware code into a native Windows build from a user-supplied disc image. Its scripts handle disc extraction, executable decryption, PPU and SPU translation, and runtime building. The author reports working menus, opening-scene gameplay, audio and checkpoint saves, while campaign coverage remains in development.
