# Shox: Rally Reinvented: a function-level PlayStation 2 matching decompilation

> shox-rr-decomp reconstructs C++ functions from the PlayStation 2 game Shox: Rally Reinvented. It uses the SN Systems GCC 2.95.2-EE toolchain through a Wine container and compares candidate objects with locally assembled retail references, checking machine-code bytes and relocations. The author reports a partial inventory of matched functions.
