DarkSoulsPS2
Homebrew demake that runs Dark Souls on PS2 hardware: a new C engine with hand-written VU1 microcode, plus Python converters that turn the player's own PC copy into PS2-sized maps, models, animations and scripts. An early prototype covering Firelink Shrine and the Undead Burg, tested in PCSX2.
