Case study
recvx-enhanced-port: enhanced native Resident Evil Code: Veronica X port
This is a native Linux and Windows port of the PlayStation 2 game Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, built from the recvx-decomp decompilation. It compiles the game code for the PC and reads an NTSC-U disc image, product SLUS-20184, in place. The renderer can go to 8x internal resolution while the game logic stays at 30 FPS. Two-player online co-op uses a lobby, join codes, and a small rendezvous server. recvx.exe or ./recvx starts a release. The Linux source build is a 32-bit Ninja build with cmake/linux-i686.cmake and needs OpenGL 3.3.
