# Croc: Legend of the Gobbos — matching decompilation of the PSX demo

> croc_psx reconstructs C source for the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos PlayStation demo SLED-00038 using the original Psy-Q toolchain. Its workflow disassembles functions, recompiles candidate C and compares generated assembly and executables with the target. The author says most functions match, while longer functions still rely on extracted original code.
