EQOA Decomp: matching PS2 modules of EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers

EQOA Decomp reconstructs C++ source for PS2 modules of EverQuest Online Adventures: Frontiers. Its tools extract and disassemble functions from user-supplied module images, then compare compiled candidates against instructions, callees and data references. The author reports byte-exact matches across SUPPORT, CLIENT, SETUP, STATION, MCERR and SNDDRV, with remaining functions still open.
