# Tekken Tag Tournament 2: a Wii U static-recompilation port

> The Tekken Tag Tournament 2 port translates the European Wii U v16 PowerPC executable to C++ ahead of time and builds it for Linux x86-64. Its runtime implements Cafe OS services and converts GX2 graphics work to Vulkan; game-specific hooks add display, input and practice features.
