Case study

Wipeout Pure: a native PSP static recompilation

pure-recomp turns Wipeout Pure’s US Greatest Hits v2.00 PSP executable into a native Apple Silicon macOS or Windows program through ahead-of-time translation. It supplies host implementations of PSP services and Metal or Vulkan graphics, generating translated game code from the user’s disc image. Its checks compare frames with PPSSPP captures.
