Case study

Soleanna: a static recompilation of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for PC

Soleanna builds a native Windows port of the PlayStation 3 version of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) from the user's BLES00028 disc. Its launcher decrypts EBOOT.BIN with RPCS3, uses ps3recomp to translate PowerPC code to C, and compiles an x86-64 executable with a high-level PS3 runtime and Direct3D 12 rendering.
