Zuma Deluxe Decompilation

About

A decompilation of Zuma Deluxe based on reverse engineering of the Mac and Windows executables distributed on PopCap.com. The readme describes it as fully playable, with potential bugs and inaccuracies expected.

How it differs from the original

It is built on the open-source release of SexyAppFramework 1.3 with patches to restore some older behavior. DRM is deliberately not reverse engineered, so the resulting executable is DRM-free.

Getting started

Build it with the included build scripts or with CMake using MinGW or MSVC. You need the BASS audio DLL, and you must copy the data files from your own installation of the game, since the project includes no assets.

Known issues & limitations

• The game is fully playable, but bugs and inaccuracies may occur.
• The project uses SexyAppFramework 1.3 with patches to restore some older behavior, so it may differ from older or internal framework versions.

What you need to run it

Features

• The resulting executable is DRM-free.

Additional notes

Focus

The project says its main focus is bug-fixing, modding and porting, with the most care and assembly-level accuracy applied to game logic code.

Naming

Some variable names and missing methods were reconstructed from Flash and C# ports of Zuma's Revenge and the Zuma web game.
