# tkdr-recomp: a PSP static recompilation of Tekken: Dark Resurrection

> tkdr-recomp runs the PSP release of Tekken: Dark Resurrection by translating its MIPS executable ahead of time to C for native builds or WebAssembly in the browser. A custom runtime supplies PSP library calls, scheduling, graphics, audio, and input. The author reports working boot, menus, movies, saves, and full matches, with Quick Battle explored from boot.
