# xenogears-decomp-port: matching Xenogears decompilation and native PC port

> xenogears-decomp-port combines a partial matching C decompilation of PlayStation Xenogears with a native Linux x86-64 port. The port runs decompiled game code with PsyCross and SDL2 providing PlayStation hardware and host services, and reads files extracted from the user's own USA Disc 1. The author reports that the r5 release reaches the prologue, Lahan and the first Gear battle.
