About

A reverse-engineering project that aims to reconstruct the source code of Resident Evil: Code Veronica X by decompiling the MIPS code in the PS2 ELF back to C.

Getting started

You supply your own PS2 SDK files (versions 2.0.0 and 3.0.3 only), the SLUS_201.84 file from your disc and an ISO dump. After building with the compile script, a helper script repackages the disc image with the compiled ELF so it can be tested on PCSX2 or a modded console.

Known issues & limitations

The project currently works only with the US release; support for other regions is planned.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (PlayStation 2 version).

Licensing & legal

The project is licensed under the MIT License, though the readme recommends contacting Capcom first before commercializing any port.

AI assistance

The maintainers ask that any AI-generated submission be disclosed to them and handled responsibly.

Additional notes

Other releases: Groundwork has been laid for the Dreamcast and GameCube releases, and related decomp projects are listed in the readme.
