# ssgdecomp: reconstructing Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets!

> ssgdecomp reconstructs Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets! with the aim of producing a bit-identical Windows executable. It uses the original ssgwin32.exe as an incremental starting point, builds with the period Borland toolchain, and compares PE sections and disassembly; its documented helpers inspect compiler output, import tables and OMF objects.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** Building currently requires the user's original ssgwin32.exe and the original Borland C++ toolchain, described as mostly version 4.52.
- **Limits:** The author reports that several default-binary sections match, while .reloc and some header or resource timestamps still differ.
- **License:** No licence stated on the project page.
