# Bushido Blade 2: matching decompilation of the North American PS1 executable

> Bushido Blade 2 reconstructs the North American PlayStation game's SLUS_006.63 executable from C and retained canonical assembly. Its build extracts a user-supplied disc, compiles the reconstructed sources and checks the resulting executable against the original SHA-1; the author reports a byte-identical build.
