A static recompilation of Crazy Taxi for the Dreamcast: the original binary’s SH-4 code is translated into C (12,750 functions) and compiled as a native 64-bit program, with no interpreter or JIT. It builds on dcrecomp, which does the translation and provides the hardware layer, and the repository only keeps the bring-up code and the title’s own data. It is in alpha and doesn’t draw a single frame yet: it boots, installs the VBlank handler, reads the disc, and gets quite far into initialization, but stops in a wait loop it never leaves, so there is no geometry, picture, sound, or input. It has no published releases; the translated code is generated on your PC and not uploaded. All 51 of its commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own disc image of Crazy Taxi for the Dreamcast (USA), as .cue and .bin or .gdi. 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Python 3.8 or later, Git, CMake, Visual Studio 2022 with the C++ tools, and vcpkg with SDL2 and GLEW; Setup.cmd checks what’s missing and asks before installing it.
