# Zombie Revenge: a Dreamcast executable decompilation

> Zombie Revenge decomp reconstructs the European Dreamcast game's executable with C and a disc-derived assembly baseline. Its tools split functions, map assets, run directed equivalence cases and build a replacement executable; the author reports 65.8% instruction test coverage over functions eligible for C translation.
