A new engine written from scratch that loads the original game's data files.
Links, repository & detailsAbout
ReChan is a reverse engineering project that reimplements Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, targeting the SLUS-00684 version. The game logic is rewritten in C++ for PC rather than emulating PS1 hardware. Development started in October 2025, and it runs on 64-bit x86 Windows and Linux.
How it differs from the original
Beyond reconstructing the game, it adds keyboard and mouse support, HOR+ widescreen support, higher resolution rendering, PC-specific settings and quality-of-life improvements. Only the NTSC-U version is supported, and the PAL version is not.
Getting started
You must own a legal copy and provide your own disc image. Put an NTSC-U .bin or .iso image in a discimage folder beside the executable, with only one image there. On first launch the project verifies the disc version and extracts the assets with its built-in extractor, after which the disc image folder can be deleted.
