# Juiced: static recompilation of the Windows game executable

> Juiced documents an x86-32 static recompilation of the 2005 Windows game executable into portable C using pcrecomp. Ghidra analysis, PE-section findings, build scripts, a runtime entry point and differential-test work accompany the pipeline. The original executable and generated lifted units stay outside the repository.
