Evidence level: project author report. Independent testing by this guide: not performed. Full playthrough and other releases: unverified.
What the author demonstrated

- The author describes fixes for audio timing, a recompiler branch issue and vector-unit clipping timing encountered while bringing up the game.
Reported conditions
- Game release
- Region, disc serial and revision are not specified in the reviewed README.
- Browser and hardware
- Chrome on a laptop with integrated graphics. Exact laptop model, GPU model and browser version are not specified in the reviewed README.
- Reported performance
- The author reports 60 fps in heavy combat at native resolution, and 48-60 fps at 2x resolution, in Chrome on laptop integrated graphics.
- Save evidence
- The README explains a shared memory-card feature, but does not document a title-specific God of War II save/load test.
- Documentation snapshot
- 426d46f — This identifies the reviewed documentation, not a confirmed commit used in the original recording.
Compatibility findings by category
The categories below separate reported behavior, past fixes and missing evidence. The cited source revision and review date apply to every finding; the original test commit is unspecified.
Graphics
Historical issue - author reports fixedThe author describes corrupted polygons and a crash found while bringing up this title, then reports fixing recompiler branch handling and vector-unit clip timing. These are historical fixes, not evidence of an unresolved defect in the reviewed version.
Audio
Historical issue - author reports fixedEarly silence was attributed to an unimplemented IOP timer used by the sound driver. The author reports addressing it during bring-up; the historical silence must not be presented as a current confirmed audio bug.
Input and controllers
Title-specific behavior unverifiedThe runtime documents keyboard and browser gamepad input. The reviewed README does not describe a title-specific controller test for God of War II.
Memory-card saves
Title-specific behavior unverifiedThe README explains a shared memory-card feature, but does not document a title-specific God of War II save/load test.
Performance
Working behavior reported by authorThe author reports 60 fps in heavy combat at native resolution, and 48-60 fps at 2x resolution, in Chrome on laptop integrated graphics.
All findings reviewed 2026-10-16 against source 426d46f; original test version unspecified.
What this evidence does not establish
The report does not establish a complete playthrough, every game mode or compatibility with another region or revision. A successful menu or gameplay segment is not a full compatibility guarantee.
Frame rates are the project author's observations under the stated conditions. They are not benchmarks run by this guide or a prediction for your device.
How to try your own copy
- Use a disc image you own and check its release against the information above. An unspecified release is not confirmation that all releases work.
- Follow the local build guide in a documented Linux or Apple silicon macOS build environment. Keep the generated game build on your own machine.
- Record the project commit, device, browser and exact point reached. If something fails, use the troubleshooting guide before submitting an upstream issue.
