About

A decompilation of the Dreamcast game Tokyo Bus Guide, which the README calls the first public Dreamcast game decompilation project. It aims at functional equivalence rather than byte-level matching, testing decompiled functions against the originals with a custom SH4 object simulator and testing framework.

What you need to run it

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