About

A decompilation project recovering the Delphi source code of Space Rangers HD: A War Apart. The README says the recovered source compiles to a byte-for-byte identical Rangers.exe, reported for game version 2.1.2500, and lists a main branch (prerelease build) and a Steam/GOG release branch.

Getting started

Install the prerequisites, then run decomp setup, which downloads and prepares the Delphi toolchain, and decomp verify, which checks the whole executable against the original SHA-256. Game data comes from your installed game.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.

Game data comes from an installed copy of the game.

AI assistance

The README states the decompilation was carried out almost entirely by an AI model in Codex, with some human steering.

Additional notes
