WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain recompiled for PC

BigDaddyJRich's HCTP Recompiled is a test-build static recompilation of WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain for the PlayStation 2. The game's MIPS code is translated to C++ with PS2Recomp and compiled on your own PC, a process that takes 30 to 90 minutes the first time, and the PS2 graphics chip is drawn on the GPU by a native Direct3D 11 renderer. Menus, character selection, Create-a-Moveset, Season mode, cutscenes and backstage scenes are reported working. Version 0.3.5 is the latest build. The maker calls it a work in progress.
