About

Sonic Adventure is a 1998 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Dreamcast, the first main Sonic game to feature 3D gameplay, following Sonic and five other playable characters as they try to stop Doctor Robotnik from unleashing the ancient evil Chaos. This is a work-in-progress decompilation of Sonic Adventure DX, the GameCube version of the game, building executables and disassembling library files for multiple regional and demo/prototype releases (NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL, in both retail and demo form).
