PS2 Web Recomp
Fan-Made TrackerPS2 games are running in browsers — not through a traditional emulator, but through static recompilation. The ps2-web-recomp project translates a game's MIPS machine code into WebAssembly once, pairs it with a WebGPU-powered recreation of the PlayStation 2 hardware, and the result loads like a web page. God of War II plays in a tab. This tracker covers the whole scene: how the technique works, which games actually run, what your browser needs, and the legal line every player should know before diving in.

Your First Look at the Scene
Learn the Idea
PS2 Web Recomp is not emulation in the classic sense — static recompilation converts the game itself. One read of the explained guide and the whole scene makes sense.
Check Your Browser
WebGPU is the gate — modern Chrome, Edge or Firefox on desktop, with hardware acceleration on. The requirements guide confirms in two minutes.
Try a Known Title
Start with a game from the playable list that is confirmed working — prove the chain before exploring the frontier.
Know the Law
You bring your own legally-dumped game files, always. The FAQ states the line once, clearly, with no shortcuts.

What Is PS2 Web Recomp?
PS2 Web Recomp is the name the scene uses for PlayStation 2 games statically recompiled to WebAssembly — a technique that translates a game's original MIPS machine code into browser-native code once, ahead of time, instead of emulating the console on the fly. A WebGPU-based runtime stands in for the PS2 hardware, and the finished port loads like any other web page: no installs, no plugins, no traditional emulator.
This tracker is the fan-built companion to that scene: the technique explained in plain language, the live playable games list led by God of War II, the browser requirements that actually matter, and the legal frame stated once and clearly. Real recomps only — that is the whole editorial policy.
