About

A work-in-progress matching decompilation of SSX (2000) for the PlayStation 2. It builds the NTSC-U version (SLUS_200.95), and other regions and versions may be considered once NTSC-U is complete.

Getting started

You need a Linux system that can run 32-bit applications (WSL2 works but is slower), Python with pipenv, and a legally obtained NTSC-U disc image. Copy the disc files into a disc folder in the repository, run the quick start script, then run the configure script inside the pipenv shell and build with ninja.

Known issues & limitations

The project is a work in progress.
Only the NTSC-U version is currently built; other regions and versions may be considered after it is completed.

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).
