Chronicle Two

Chronicle Two is a decompilation of Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 for the PlayStation 2, and a native port built from it.

Building and running

Clone with submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/TheMoonPeople/ChronicleTwo.git

Place the PAL disc image Dark Chronicle (PAL).iso in rom/pal/. The build runs in a container that Kazarov builds on first use, so Docker or Podman must be installed.

• ./build.sh builds the PAL executable (ps2-pal) and checks it against retail. ./build.sh ps2-pal elf objdiff builds only the named targets; CLEAN=1 ./build.sh rebuilds from scratch.
• ./run.sh builds and runs the Release port; ./run.sh ps2-pal builds, masters a disc image and boots it in PCSX2.
• build.bat and run.bat do the same on Windows.
• ./build.sh switch or build.bat switch builds the Mesa Vulkan Switch port; Switch documentation covers installation and development-unit testing.
• tools/kazarov/scripts/kazarov shell opens a shell in the build container, with the project at /work/chronicletwo.
• port/flatpak.sh packages the PC port as a Flatpak, chronicletwo.flatpak, which CI also builds; docs/FLATPAK.md covers building, installing and its first start.

Diffing

Build with ./build.sh ps2-pal elf objdiff, then open the project in the objdiff GUI. It reads the objdiff.json that the build writes at the root.
