Devlog

The project’s evolution told in chapters — what we discovered and how much closer we are to something you can use.

We connected our reverse engineering to the RecompOne recompiler and turned NASCAR Rumble into a native executable that compiles cleanly.

We now control the game ourselves (screen, input and memory) and mapped the first live data + the complete car catalog.

We published the 32-car grid page and found the disc holds every real NASCAR paint of the era.

We found the game’s car table in the executable — with the real drivers, their numbers and performance.

We opened the global data file and found every car’s paint scheme — including real NASCAR drivers.

We found how the game organizes palettes per region and now extract textures in their correct colors.

We decoded textures (Cpag) and track geometry (Ctrk), and launched this site + a GitHub backup.

We read the game parser in Ghidra and cracked two formats: the resource container and the loading screens.

We built a headless pipeline that analyzes the executable and exports everything, removing the manual GUI work.

We analyzed what can be reused from PS1 projects and defined two tracks toward a native port.

First contact with the disc: we mapped all 108 files and identified the EA resource container.
