# pc-thelaststory: statically recompiling The Last Story for PC

> pc-thelaststory statically recompiles the European Wii release of The Last Story for a native PC port. Its tools identify functions in the stripped PowerPC executable and use wiikit to translate them to C++ while a runtime replaces Wii services. The author reports play from the title screen into the first chapter at 30 frames per second.
