# inFAMOUS 2: recompiling the PS3 game for Linux

> This recompiles inFAMOUS 2 for the PlayStation 3, BCUS98125 version 01.00, to native Linux with ps3recomp. PowerPC and SPU code are translated to C, and the game's RSX shaders run on Vulkan. The README says play continues from Empire City to New Marais, with sound, controls, saves, and a Portuguese dub.
