Case study

inFAMOUS First Light: rehosting the PS4 game on Windows

inFAMOUS First Light is rehosted on Windows by running the PlayStation 4 game's x86-64 code directly on the PC processor. A replacement PS4 runtime supplies system-library functions, and a Vulkan renderer handles graphics; the player supplies the original game dump.
