# Crash Twinsanity for Windows: adapting a PS2 decompilation to native Windows

> Crash Twinsanity for Windows adapts an existing C++ decompilation and Mac port of the PAL PlayStation 2 game to native 64-bit Windows. It adds Windows calling-convention and memory handling, frame pacing and game-specific crash fixes, while reading game data from the user's disc image. The author reports playing the release through to the credits.
