# Tony Hawk's Pro Skater: a matching Nintendo 64 decompilation

> thps64 reconstructs the C source of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for Nintendo 64 (US V1.1) from a user-supplied ROM. It splits compressed game code into functions and compares compiled instructions with the original. The author reports a byte-identical default build, 2,449 matching functions and 62 more represented by nonmatching C.
