Case study

Soulbrandt: a native Demon's Souls PC port

Soulbrandt converts the US PlayStation 3 release of Demon's Souls into a native Windows and Linux port using the player's game files. Setup uses RPCS3 to decrypt the required files or accepts files the player has decrypted, then builds the port locally. The project includes game-specific analysis, runtime integration, rendering, controls and online services.
