# Moto Racer World Tour: matching PlayStation code and file-format research

> Moto Racer World Tour reconstructs the PAL PlayStation game's boot and main executables with byte-matching builds while replacing assembly with recovered C and C++. Its documentation maps the disc, MR3.DAT archive and formats including VRM textures, SDF scenes and DPS movies. Python tools extract, inspect, edit and repack those files from a user-provided disc.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** A user-provided PAL SCES-03037 disc copy is needed for tools that extract or edit disc files.
- **Prerequisites:** The matching build uses the documented historical PlayStation GCC toolchains and maspsx.
- **Limits:** Most executable code remains assembly; edited assets have been tested in an emulator but not on hardware.
- **License:** GPL-3.0 license.
