# Champions of Norrath: matching PS2 function reconstruction

> Champions of Norrath reconstructs C functions for the PlayStation 2 release SLUS-20565 and compares compiled output byte for byte with the user's game copy. The saved decompdecomp project separates matching functions from unfinished attempts. The author reports 6,018 matches among 8,984 functions.
