What it is

Severed Chains is Legend of Dragoon reverse engineered into high-level code with a modding API. It is not an emulator: it is assembly code disassembled and rewritten in Java. The project states that AI was not used to create it. It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy.

According to the README, the game is fully playable with no known crashes, many bugs of the original have been fixed and new options added. It supports controllers with rumble, keyboard, mouse in menus and GPU selection, and updates with one button from the title screen.
