Resident Evil: Dead Aim Decompilation
Source code reconstructed from the original game's compiled binary, so the game can be understood, rebuilt and ported.
Based on Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Original game imageAbout
Bullseye is a tool to reverse engineer Resident Evil: Dead Aim, from ripping game assets such as audio, models and textures to, hopefully, growing into a full decompilation. The build already reproduces the PAL executable byte for byte, but only 40 of 1,328,837 bytes of code are decompiled so far, with the rest still assembly pulled in through include directives.
Getting started
Run the setup script to fetch the period compiler and tools, extract the PAL executable from your disc image into the orig folder and check its SHA-1, then run the configure script with the split option and ninja. The resulting executable should boot in PCSX2.

Additional notes
- Matching
- The ELF container around the executable is carried over from the original rather than rebuilt, because it holds VU1 microcode overlays that cannot be reproduced.
