Project attempting to reverse-engineer PS1 game Driver 2;
2019-05-28 21:33:47 +02:00
2020-08-29 07:12:59 +02:00
Start Date: 28 March 2019
### Goals
2020-05-01 07:18:59 +02:00
- Rebuild all source code from assembly
- Compile native version for **PC** (and for **PSX** later)
2020-08-28 07:32:38 +02:00
- Make game playable from start to finish, all game modes should function properly
- Fix all reverse-engineering **bugs**
2020-04-28 09:20:01 +02:00
- Fix some existing critical bugs and performance issues
- ***OpenDriver2?*** rewrite code, implement various cool stuff, PC rendering and audio engine, get rid of hard-coded stuff

2020-05-01 07:18:59 +02:00
### How is it done?
- All information (variables, types and function names) have been obtained from debugging symbols (.SYM), driver_psx_level and DLE
2020-04-28 09:20:01 +02:00
- Ghidra project (based on Italian SYM) to deal with overlays, simple code complex branching - semi-auto decompilation
2020-05-01 07:18:59 +02:00
- IDB based on Spanish SYM when dealing with things Ghidra can't handle properly - manual decompilation (mostly GTE code)
2020-04-28 09:20:01 +02:00
### Usage
2020-08-28 07:32:38 +02:00
Assuming you have compiled the most recent code or got artifacts from Appveyor.
Copy DRIVER2 folder from your **game CD** to location where compiled EXE is located.
