# Dino Crisis - Modern Edition: a disc-built Windows recompilation

> Dino Crisis - Modern Edition rebuilds the PlayStation game Dino Crisis as a native Windows program from the user's disc image. Its installer recompiles the game code to C and combines it with a runtime supplying a new renderer, camera, controls and mod support; the repository includes build scripts and hooks for supported disc versions.
