Pataport: Patapon 3 (PSP) recompiled into a native Mac and Windows game on your own machine

Alessio Giacobbe's Pataport turns your own copy of Patapon 3 into a native program, with no emulator: the game's MIPS code is translated to C and compiled on your own machine, tuned from the nakagawa-recomp PSP recompiler. On Apple Silicon Macs it plays through boot, menus, saves, movies with sound, the story intro, Hero's Pledge and name entry. Gameplay missions are still being tested, the Windows build compiles and passes its tests but hasn't been play-tested on a real PC yet, and ad-hoc online is experimental. The repo holds only the recompiler and runtime source, and you must never share the build it makes.
