THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED

This repository is no longer the home for this project, as I have moved to Codeberg. You can find the up-to-date repository here.

SMT1-Decomp

A very WIP decompilation of Shin Megami Tensei 1 for the Playstation.

Why?

• The classic SMT games (with the exception of 1) have yet to be released in the west, and none of them have been re-released on PC, even via an emulated release.
• The goal of this project is primarily the creation of a PC port of the three classic games (SMT1, SMT2, and If...), with optional enhancements that would be difficult to implement as a hack.
• The other reason for this project is that I have a personal interest in these games, and wanted to learn more about how they work under the hood.

Contributing

As of right now there isn't a super easy workflow to contributing to the project directly. However, if you just want to do some small function matching work, I'd highly encourage checking out the decomp.me preset, and seeing which functions need work.

If you do want to get the project set up on your own machine, then the general flow is as follows:

• Create a WSL environment for the project.
• Acquire the original game files (hashes can be found in /game).
• Rip the filesystems with PSXimager or a similar program, and place them under /game/smtX, where X is "1", "2", or "if" corresponding to the game.
• Run make split in the project directory to create the assembly files.

PS: if you have experience with git, make, or open source software in general then please reach out to me to help make the setup as easy as possible.
