Case study

Shadow of the Colossus — native Windows port of the PS4 game

Shadow of the Colossus runs the PS4 game's x86-64 code directly on Windows 10/11 while translating its graphics to Vulkan. This port supports the named EU 1.01 and US 1.00 releases, loads a user-provided game dump, and implements the system functions the game needs.
