# Persona 3 FES Recompiled: a PS2 static recompilation

> Persona 3 FES Recompiled translates the PS2 game's MIPS R5900 executable to C++ and runs it with replacement EE, IOP, graphics, audio, and storage services. Its game-specific function map and configuration drive the recompiler. The author reports play through the opening story and a Tartarus area loaded from a memory card save; sound effects are silent and battles remain untested.
