# pc-arcrisefantasia: statically recompiling Arc Rise Fantasia for PC

> pc-arcrisefantasia builds a native PC port of the North American Wii release of Arc Rise Fantasia by translating its PowerPC code to C++ and running it on wiikit's replacement Wii runtime. Its tools extract the user's disc, identify functions in the stripped DOL with signatures and manual evidence, and compile the translated code. The author reports gameplay through the first battle.
