Devil May Cry 3: a matching PlayStation 2 decompilation

Devil May Cry 3 reconstructs the PlayStation 2 game's executable as C and C++ compiled with its original toolchains. The project compares individual functions instruction by instruction and checks the linked USA build against the original SHA-1; the author reports 48.77% of code bytes matched for that version.
