Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge (Dreamcast)

About

This repository preserves Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge's official Dreamcast source code from October 10, 2000, developed by Blitz Games, reverse-engineered to build byte-perfect matches of both the NTSC and PAL retail versions.

Getting started

Run compile.bat to build the game executable (converted automatically to 1ST_READ.BIN), then run buildcdi.bat or buildgdi.bat to produce a disc image in the OUTPUT folder — a CDI image can be burned and played on real hardware or in emulators, while a GDI image requires official GD-R discs to run on a retail console.

History

The repository can reproduce two known retail builds: the released NTSC version and a PAL version that was submitted to Sega of Europe for approval but never officially released. A third executable with a tampered display mode of unclear, possibly unofficial origin also exists but isn't reproducible from this source.

Requires original assets. An unfinished asset conversion pipeline exists; the original tool sources and final assets were recovered from tape backup.

Additional notes

Preservation: Preserved by the Highway Frogs project; an unfinished in-repo tool for converting game assets to the Dreamcast format was abandoned after the original final assets were recovered from an "End of Project" tape backup.
