What was done
A fan-made native PC port of God of War: Ascension (PS3) using static recompilation via ps3recomp. It requires the user's own game copy and firmware. The port achieves 60 FPS on high-end hardware, though the full game remains unverified.
The otavix010/gow-ascension-pc project provides a native PC port of the 2013 PlayStation 3 title God of War: Ascension. Rather than emulation, the project utilizes static recompilation to translate the game's PPU and SPU code into C/C++ for x86-64 compilation, leveraging the ps3recomp engine. The GPU command stream is rendered via Direct3D 12, while SPURS tasks utilize official firmware libraries (LLE). The author reports that the build process is automated via PowerShell scripts, which decrypt the user's own game copy and compile the necessary binaries. The project requires the user to provide their own disc copy (BCUS98232) and official PS3 firmware. Performance is CPU-bound, with significant gains observed on hardware supporting AVX-512. While the port successfully boots, runs menus, and plays the first phase and Chapter 16 at 60 FPS on a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the full game has not been verified. Known limitations include game logic acceleration when the 60 FPS limiter is disabled and intermittent hangs on lower-end hardware.

Reproduce it
Install Python 3.12 and Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools with Clang. Clone the repository to a path without spaces. Run 'gerar.cmd' and follow the prompts to select the game disc folder, update files, and RPCS3 installation. Once generation completes, execute 'jogar.cmd' to launch.
