Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Decompilation

About

Soul Reaverse is a project to reconstruct the source code of the PSX game Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. It works by disassembling the executable of a prototype built two weeks before the final release, which includes a full set of debugging symbols that eases turning the MIPS instructions back into C.

Additional notes

Overlays

The game's overlay binaries are linked dynamically at runtime so they never load at the same address, and the undrm function of cd-dat-utils is used to make decompiling them possible.

Goals

Once fully overhauled, the source could be used for porting the game, improving its performance on console hardware, or building tools such as a level editor.
