About PS2Recomp
PS2Recomp is an experimental toolset designed to statically recompile PlayStation 2 ELF binaries into C++ code. The project consists of several modules: `ps2xAnalyzer` for scanning binaries and generating configuration, `ps2xRecomp` for decoding MIPS R5900 instructions and generating C++ output, and `ps2xRuntime`, which provides the execution environment including memory management and hardware stubs. It also includes `ps2xIOP` for R3000A IRX execution via a virtual kernel. The tool translates MIPS instructions into literal C++ operations (e.g., mapping `addiu` to a C++ addition macro) and supports PS2-specific Multimedia Extensions (MMI) and VU0 macros. It handles system calls through a runtime dispatcher and allows for manual address binding or Ghidra-integrated workflows to handle stripped binaries. Development has utilized AI assistance for specific code contributions and bug fixes.
