# Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: static recompilation for PlayStation 4

> This brings a static recompilation of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate version 13.0.2 to the PlayStation 4. The game's AArch64 code is translated to C ahead of time, and the runtime draws with Direct3D 11 through DXVK. The README says matches are playable with up to four controllers, and that the player builds the package from their own dump. Build steps are in docs/BUILDING.md.
