Information

• This is an original game - it was carefully and completely disassembled and translated from MIPS back to C (except Memory Card menu) - no emulation involved
• Game has been significantly improved over the original Playstation version, original bugs were fixed and completed some unfinished gameplay aspects
• It now runs on Windows, Linux and soon to be on the other platforms (including backport to Playstation) and utilizes Psy-X (Psy-Cross) (formely extended TOMB5 emulator) as a layer for porting from Playstation
• Basic modding support - with textures and models replacement provided with OpenDriver2Tools

How is it done?

• All information (variables, types and function names) have been obtained from debugging symbols (.SYM), driver_psx_level and DLE
• Ghidra project (based on Italian SYM) to deal with overlays, simple code complex branching - semi-auto decompilation
• IDB based on Spanish SYM when dealing with things Ghidra can't handle properly - manual decompilation (mostly GTE code)
