# Crazy Taxi decomp: rebuilding the European Dreamcast game from C

> Crazy Taxi decomp reconstructs the European Dreamcast game's executable with recovered C and per-function SH-4 assembly generated from the user's disc. Its pipeline maps game assets, checks C functions against original behavior and builds a disc image with the reconstructed executable. The author reports a byte-for-byte executable rebuild and a playable game.
