Case study

midway: statically recompiling Midway Arcade Origins for Windows

midway statically recompiles the PS3 disc release of Midway Arcade Origins for native Windows using ps3recomp and a user-supplied game dump. Its scripts lift the EBOOT and two SPURS render jobs, then build against the shared runtime. The author reports that the front end reaches an arcade ROM set and displays the Vindicators Part II attract loop.
