P3P3DS: running Persona 3 Portable on New Nintendo 3DS

P3P3DS adapts Persona 3 Portable's North American PSP release for New Nintendo 3DS through static MIPS-to-C++ recompilation, an interpreter fallback and a PSP service runtime. Its research documents the game's ELF32 PRX executable, relocations and imports. The author reports early playable progress on hardware, with sound and opening video still absent.
