# Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!: an in-progress PlayStation decompilation

> Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! reconstructs the NTSC-U revision 0 PlayStation executable and overlays from C source and assembly. The project targets byte-identical output, uses an older MIPS compiler for game source and keeps unmatched routines in assembly.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** PSYQ headers, with version 4.7 documented as tested.
- **Prerequisites:** The documented MIPS build workflow provides a Docker image; rebuilding the full disc also uses wadtool and mkpsxiso.
- **Scope:** The project is in progress and covers game code rather than data files.
- **License:** CC0-1.0.
