# F-Zero GX: matching the GameCube executables from C

> fzgx reconstructs the GameCube release of F-Zero GX as C matched against the game's executable files. Its primary target is the USA Rev 0 disc, including main.dol, main.rel extracted from an encrypted archive and fourteen other REL modules. The project uses compile-and-diff checks per function and hash checks on the sixteen linked targets.
