About RetroReversing

RetroReversing's Decompiled Retail Console Games page is an index of decompiled and disassembled source code projects for retail games, along with native ports and static recompilations. Entries are grouped by original platform, and engine reconstructions, fan remakes, and unreleased prototypes are labeled.

The page uses activity labels: Active means the linked repository received a default-branch commit within the preceding 12 months, while Inactive means no commits in that period or an archived repository. These labels describe repository activity, not completion or playability. For dated DS, 3DS, PlayStation 2, and Xbox 360 entries checked on 2026-10-11, Unverified means the linked repository was unavailable. Decompilation and disassembly projects generally need at least 10% reconstructed source to be included, with exceptions. Static recompilation translates machine code into compilable source for another platform and does not imply recovery of the original source code. Project links provide build instructions and current progress.
