# dw3-decomp-expanded: matching Digimon World 2003 card-game functions

> dw3-decomp-expanded reconstructs Digimon World 2003 PAL card-game overlay functions as C that compiles to the original MIPS bytes. Each source file records compiler, address and comparison settings, and tools compare it with overlays from the user's disc. The author reports 407 matched functions across CARDGAME, STCRDABM, STCRDDEK and STCRDSHP, with 28 still pending.
