# Suikoden II: a disc-local PlayStation static recompilation

> Suikoden II Recomp configures psxrecomp to generate and compile the US PlayStation game from the player's SLUS-00958 disc image and SCPH-1001 BIOS. A recomp-ui setup host collects those inputs and builds normal and diagnostic executables locally.
