OpenCloud is an open source re-implementation of the Dark Cloud games for PS2. To put this simply, OpenCloud is an effort to reverse engineer Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 and port it to PC (and other platforms). In many ways you can think of it as a port or remaster.
OpenCloud is created by reverse engineering the original PS2 games and creating functionally similar code. This is done with the help of Ghidra.
No.
The goal for OpenCloud is not to produce the same machine code as the original game. Instead, OpenCloud focuses on getting the original games to function on other platforms. The original game engines are extremely specific to the PS2 platform and therefor any exact re-implementation would only function on PS2 which would be antithetical to OpenCloud's goals. We focus on having a modern base for which the original game logic can run on top of and therefor produce a version of the game that functions on multiple platforms.
