# Parasite Eve II: matching PlayStation decompilation of the USA release

> Parasite Eve II Decompilation reconstructs the USA PlayStation game's executable, resident and title overlays, and code packages as buildable C. The author reports byte-identical output using the original GCC toolchain and checksum checks against the user's two game discs; the repository also documents game formats and matching techniques.
