Vandal Hearts (c) Konami. Developed and published by Konami; released for the
PlayStation in 1996-1997. All game design, code, art, music, and text are the
work and property of its original creators.

This repository is a reverse-engineered decompilation of the Japanese release
(SLPM-86007) by HalmyLyseas, 2026.

Tools and prior work this project depends on:

  * splat (ethteck and contributors)      -- binary splitting / extraction
  * maspsx (mkst)                          -- old-GCC assembly -> modern GAS
  * old-gcc (decompals)                    -- prebuilt GCC 2.x cc1 binaries
  * psx-spx (Martin Korth / nocash)        -- PlayStation hardware documentation
  * GNU binutils                           -- assembler and linker

The decompilation of the North American release (SLUS-004.47) was used as a
reference corpus while working:

It informed naming and structure; it was never assumed to be the answer -- every
translation unit here is re-proven against the Japanese binary by md5.
