Downhill Revived: a matching decompilation and PC port of Downhill Domination

Downhill Revived ports the PlayStation 2 game Downhill Domination to native 64-bit Windows using C/C++ source matched byte for byte to the original game program. Native platform code replaces PS2 hardware interfaces, and game data is read from the user's USA disc image. The author reports 4,527 of 4,593 target game and engine functions matched.
