# Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction: a PS3 static recompilation

> Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction Recompiled translates the European PS3 game’s PPU and SPU code to C/C++ ahead of time with ps3recomp. The Windows port replaces PS3 system libraries and RSX graphics with native implementations and Direct3D 12, while building game data from the user’s disc.
