  "description_en": "god-hand-decomp reconstructs the NTSC-U PS2 release of God Hand as C/C++ that is checked against the retail boot ELF. It starts from assembly generated by splat, replaces functions individually, and uses objdiff plus a full-file SHA-256 comparison to track matching output. The author reports that the current build remains byte-identical to the retail boot ELF.",
