Show HN: PS2 games statically recompiled to WebAssembly

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 8/10

Summary

The PS2 Web Recomp project aims to run PlayStation 2 games in a browser by statically recompiling PS2 machine code to C++ and WebAssembly, with a native runtime that emulates PS2 hardware components. It showcases Gran Turismo 4 and God of War II running in-browser, discusses the performance optimizations and porting process, and provides guidelines for others to port their own titles using the port.sh workflow. The article also covers licensing, credits, and the practical limitations of browser-based emulation through WebGPU and WebAssembly.
