Case study

SpartanPort: a native PC port of God of War III Remastered

SpartanPort ports the PS4 release of God of War III Remastered to Windows and Linux using the player's own game dump. It runs the game's x86-64 code through a native runtime, uses Vulkan graphics components and includes a loader that rewrites selected instructions for CPUs lacking MOVBE, BMI1 or LZCNT.
