About

Rood Reverse is a decompilation project for Vagrant Story on the PlayStation 1, with the goals of enabling interoperability with modern hardware and fixing bugs in the original game. It contains none of the original disk files, so you must own a copy of the game.

Getting started

Install the listed packages (the README says the setup works on Ubuntu under WSL), dump your original disk into the project's disks folder, then run make to configure, extract and do an initial build.

What you need to run it

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

You must own a copy of the game and provide a dump of its original disk.

Credits & contributing

Much of the sound library code comes from the Chrono Cross decompilation project.

Additional notes

Menus: All menu code and data is decompiled apart from three data files, much of it refactored and readable, and the menu executables are fully relocatable.
