Case study

Monster Truck Madness: a static recompilation of the second game

Monster Truck Madness statically lifts Monster Truck Madness 2's Monster.exe to C with pcrecomp and runs it on a 32-bit Windows host. The repository includes function cataloging, code generation and DirectDraw presentation code; the author reports that scripted input can start and drive a race, while a complete race remains unfinished.
