OpenGOAL is a project that decompiles the Jak & Daxter PS2 games and recompiles them into native x86-64 ports, including a from-scratch implementation of the original GOAL Lisp-like language. It provides a compiler, runtime, and tooling that lets users play the games natively and create mods.
Use cases
- play Jak and Daxter natively on PC without an emulator
- decompile PS2 game binaries to study how the original games worked
- make mods for the Jak and Daxter games
- study or contribute to a Lisp-like game language compiler
- port a PS2 game to modern platforms
When to choose
- you own a legitimate PS2 copy of Jak & Daxter and want a native, high-performance port
- you want to mod the Jak games or create new content
- you are interested in compiler development, decompilation, or reverse engineering of PS2 games
When to avoid
- you want to emulate other PS2 games - this only covers the Jak & Daxter trilogy
- you only have PS3/PS4/PS5 versions of the games - those are not supported
- you want a plug-and-play experience without providing your own game ISO
