# VP2S_Recomp: a static recompilation of Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria

> VP2S_Recomp builds a native Windows port of Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria by translating its PlayStation 2 MIPS code to C++ with PS2Recomp. Game-specific tools unpack encrypted and compressed modules, Ghidra maps functions, and the port draws models and interface elements through a native renderer with a native audio mixer.
