Case study

Theme Park: a static recompilation of the DOS game

Theme Park statically recompiles Bullfrog's 1994 DOS game into a native Windows and Linux program using pcrecomp to translate its 32-bit code to C. The project adds a DOS/4GW host, display and sound layers, TCP support for the game's network mode, save states, and scripted conformance runs. The author reports lifting 6,517 functions and passing six conformance milestones.
