Jackie Chan Stuntmaster Engine Reimplementation

About

ReChan is a reverse engineering project that reimplements Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (SLUS-00684) by rewriting the game logic in C++ for PC. It is not a PS1 emulator. It runs on 64-bit x86 Windows and Linux, development started in October 2025, and the player must own a legal copy and provide their own disc image.

How it differs from the original

Beyond reconstruction it adds keyboard and mouse support, HOR+ widescreen support, higher resolution rendering, PC-specific settings and general quality-of-life improvements. Only the NTSC-U version is targeted; PAL is not supported.

Getting started

Place a legally obtained NTSC-U disc image (.bin or .iso) in a discimage folder beside the executable, with only one image in it. On first launch ReChan verifies the disc and extracts the needed assets with its built-in extractor, after which the disc image folder can be deleted.

Known issues & limitations

• The PAL version is not supported and may have different data layouts.

What you need to run it

Features

• The project adds keyboard and mouse support.
• The project includes general quality-of-life improvements.

How to install

1. Place one legally obtained NTSC-U `.bin` or `.iso` image from your own copy in a `discimage` folder beside the executable; the image filename does not matter.
2. Keep only one disc image in the `discimage` folder.
3. Launch the project; it verifies the disc version and extracts the required assets on first launch. No separate extraction utility is needed.
4. After the assets have been extracted, you can delete the disc image folder.
