God of War for PSP now runs in the browser via WebAssembly

Original: God of War on PSP, recompiled to WebAssembly and running in the browser

A developer has recompiled the PSP version of God of War to WebAssembly, allowing the game to run directly in a web browser without a traditional emulator. The project, hosted on GitHub under the name psp-web-recomp, is drawing attention for showing how static recompilation can bring console games to the web, prompting discussion about the technique's potential for preserving and playing other handheld titles.

Why now: Technical novelty: running a major console title natively in a browser through recompilation rather than emulation is an impressive engineering feat
