# Tekken 3 Recomp: lifting PlayStation game code into Rust

> Tekken 3 Recomp statically recompiles the US PlayStation release of Tekken 3 by extracting its MIPS executable and overlays from a user-supplied disc. Ghidra exports instructions and p-code to CSV sheets, a generator translates them into Rust, and a custom PlayStation runtime hosts the result inside a Bevy app.
