GitHub Repo: https://github.com/0xd34db8/LF2-decomp

Over the past 20+ years, this community has seen countless incredible fan projects: AngelScript dynamic memory hooks (LF2-Enchanted), DirectDraw ddraw wrappers, clean-room modern engine clones (OpenLF2, OriVered's rebuild), and Unity/Godot reimplementations.

While those projects are awesome, they all share one thing in common: they are approximations, external wrappers, or clean-room interpretations of how LF2 might work.

To date, nobody has ever completed a REAL, 1:1 binary decompilation of lf2.exe.

The only person who came close was xsoameix roughly 12 years ago when they began painstakingly mapping out assembly instructions into Ruby (xsoameix/lf2). But that project was abandoned before a working, compilable game engine could be finished.

We are actively working to finish that mission.


What Makes This Project Different?

We are not building an engine from scratch, and we are not guessing.

Using Ghidra and modern binary analysis, we are disassembling and decompiling the original compiled x86-32 MSVC++ executable (lf2.exe v1.9c / v2.0a) and lifting the exact, authentic C++ code directly from the binary.

  1. Zero Guesswork / 100% Math Fidelity: Hitbox collision formulas (itr_t / bdy_t), 3D velocity integration, gravity steps, frame wait timers, and damage calculations are mathematically identical to the original assembly.
  2. Pristine Ground Truth: We maintain an untouched archive of raw Ghidra decompiler exports (decompiled/RAW/) alongside a syntactically valid legacy C suite (decompiled/Compilable/).
  3. Liberation, Not Emulation: We extract that pure game logic into a modern, portable C++20 engine (src/), replacing deprecated Win32 message pumps and DirectDraw 6 surfaces with SDL2 so it compiles natively on modern 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.


Wild Secrets & Mysteries Uncovered Inside lf2.exe

Decompiling the binary instruction-by-instruction has finally answered questions and mysteries LF2 players and modders have debated for over two decades:
  • The Anatomy of the Infamous "Synchronisation Error!" (0x0041C5F0):
    LF2 network play runs on a compact 22-byte lockstep packet. Every tick, the host calculates a cumulative checksum of all active characters' HP (Σ HPᵢ). If client and host HP checksums differ by even 1 HP (due to a single floating-point jitter or projectile spawn timing deviation), the binary immediately aborts execution and shows the dreaded "Synchronisation Error!" modal dialog!

  • Why Stage 5 Crashes to Desktop (g_objects[100]):
    lf2.exe manages all world entities through a fixed, hardcoded array capped at exactly 100 slots (0x00450BE0). Davis, bandits, dropped baseball bats, flying energy balls, and transient blood splatter particles all compete for these same 100 slots. In chaotic Stage 5 battles, slot 101 returns NULL—which the game promptly attempts to dereference, causing an instant CTD.

  • The No-Vtable Architecture:
    Clean-room rebuilds often assume an object-oriented hierarchy (Character -> Entity -> Weapon). In the real binary, Marti Wong wrote a single, monolithic 880-byte object_t struct without a single virtual method or vtable pointer! Everything from Julian to a falling rock runs through the exact same struct layout and massive procedural state machines (like the 4,000-line combat dispatcher at 0x0042E100).

  • Why Usernames in control.txt Had Backticks (`):
    LF2 serialized control.txt with fscanf("%s"), which normally splits on spaces. Marti’s clever workaround in assembly (0x004233E0) was a loop that replaced every space character with a grave accent (`) before saving, and reverted them back on load!

  • The Rudolf Void Glitch (0x00403270):
    When Rudolf grabs an opponent at the edge of the screen, the game computes x₍dest₎ = x₍target₎ ± 40. The assembly completely forgot to clamp this destination against the stage boundaries—meaning grabbing someone near the edge of the screen teleports Rudolf into negative coordinates outside the map.

  • Hardcoded Cheats & Secrets:
    Looking at WindowProc (0x0043b3d0), keystroke state machines listen for:
    • "lf2.net": Unlocks Julian, Firzen, LouisEX, and other enemy henchmen characters.
    • "herofighter.com": A secret shoutout Marti added to LF2 v2.0 for his next game, which unlocks function keys in stage mode
    • "ABC": Switches on the developer's internal frame/hitbox inspector.

  • The 3,000-Byte PRNG Table:
    LF2 doesn't use the C standard library rand() because CRT implementations differ across compilers and desync multiplayer. Instead, embedded at 0x0044FF90 is a precomputed 3,000-byte lookup table that the engine simply cycles through circularly.


Project Status (Work in Progress!)

This is an active, ongoing effort. Here is what has been lifted, verified, and running so far:
  • [x] Core Memory Maps: Struct layouts for bdy, itr, wpoint, cpoint, opoint, frame, file, and object verified with compile-time assertions.
  • [x] Cipher & Data Loader: 100% authentic Vigenère decryptor (123-byte header skip + "SiuHungIsAGoodBearBecauseHeIsVeryGood" key) and full parser for data.txt and .dat character files.
  • [x] Entity Physics & Movement: 3D velocity integration, gravity, jumping arcs, ground friction, and wait-counter state machines.
  • [x] Combat & Collision Dispatcher: Full 1:1 lift of 0x0042E100 (damage calculations, flinch states, knockdown fall thresholds, rest timers).
  • [x] Weapons & Grappling: Catch/throw anchoring (cpoint) and 3D weapon pickups/drops/throws (wpoint).
  • [x] AI Decision Tree: Autonomous enemy threat targeting, approach synthesis, and combo execution (0x00406BA0).
  • [x] Graphics & Audio: Software clipping, sprite sheet slicing (including the 1-pixel separator gutter), multi-layer parallax backgrounds, and zero-dependency SDL2 audio.
  • [x] Automated Test Harnesses: Test suites ensuring mathematical parity against the raw disassembly.

What's Next?
We are continuing to lift the remaining high-level scene management, menu flows, stage phase progression, and modernizing the network layer so we can finally have a completely liberated, authentic LF2 engine that plays exactly like the 1999–2002 original.

If you are an LF2 veteran, modder, or reverse engineering enthusiast, we'd love to hear your thoughts, answer questions about the binary internals, and share findings with the community]]>

INSANE! is a fifth level, selected right after CRAZY! on the character selection screen (and in Tournament and Battle mode). It contains no line about Luffy or Naruto: everything it knows about a fighter comes from playing each of that fighter's moves itself, in a private copy of the match, before the match begins. That is why it can use the moves of mods nobody has ever written an AI for.

I have developed an entirely new version of an AI capable of self-learning; it can recognize its own skills and utilize them appropriately. Furthermore, it can scan and anticipate the enemy's incoming moves within a 16-frame window, allowing it to adapt dynamically. It is not yet complete, however; I am currently expanding the AI’s awareness to include the opponent's capabilities, which will enable it to respond even more effectively. I am currently continuing to refine how the AI ​​perceives information about its opponents, with the goal of making it increasingly sophisticated. Developers are welcome to access my open-source code to contribute further—this AI script is designed to be compatible with almost any mod (I have successfully tested it with about six different mods, and it works well).

New AI model, which I’ve named "XOI." Its learning mechanism is similar to the SPSA (Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation) method used in world-class chess AIs. It has proven highly effective; in tests conducted using the "KT" and "HELL" mods for the game *Little Fighter 2* (LF2), it achieved a 65.4% win rate against the "INSANE" difficulty AI (in the HELL mod) across 45,120 test matches, and a 54.9% win rate (in the KT mod) across 20,358 test matches.My new AI, XOI, utilizes a training mechanism similar to that of the chess engine Stockfish—specifically, SPSA (Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation). This allows the AI ​​to learn from past mistakes through countless simulated matches, refining its parameters for specific behaviors tailored to various scenarios. At present, its level of learning remains quite rudimentary, with significant room for further development.

My AI project is designed to be applicable to all types of mods available, rather than being limited to a single mod or character. I am currently building upon the strengths of "AI SAUCE"—the most powerful existing AI for *Little Fighter 2* (LF2), though it is currently restricted to about 15 characters. I intend to have my AI spar against the SAUCE AI for approximately 500,000 matches, allowing it to learn from its mistakes and refine its performance using the Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) method. Once it reaches its peak potential, I will apply these learned parameters across all available mods.

Follow this link to see a crazy combo: https://imgur.com/a/L3a1RPs#pp0oXF0

Both normal and super saiyan form have new moves, can fly, have new counters and evasive moves.

SSJ Goku might be the most complex (not complicated in terms of data..) character in LF2 so far, in terms of variety and being able to accurately control him. I'd say this is not good OR bad perse, rather a preference. However
- The inputs may not feel familiar.
- it does require many hours of gameplay to really be able to control and enjoy the character to it's full potential.
- The speed which you use (complex) inputs with, may be the greatest factor to achieve victory.

His kamehameha attacks have different properties and can clash. From weak to strong:
- Normal Goku: D>J | SSJ Goku: DJA+D>J
- Normal Goku: D>J+J | SSJ Goku: D>J
- SSJ Goku: D>J from flying/jumping/dashing
- Normal Goku: >>+D+D>J
- SSJ Goku: D>J+D^J
- SSJ Goku: D>J+J
In case of a struggle between 2 kamehameha attacks of the same kind, the player who is 2nd to fire it usually wins.

Goku's small spirit bomb, DJA+J, can destroy any horizontally moving kamehameha.

The characters have some 'weird' inputs, and it will take time to learn how to use them.

Follow this link to see a crazy combo: https://imgur.com/a/L3a1RPs#pp0oXF0

Both normal and super saiyan form have new moves, can fly, have new counters and evasive moves.

SSJ Goku might be the most complex (not complicated in terms of data..) character in LF2 so far, in terms of variety and being able to accurately control him. I'd say this is not good OR bad perse, rather a preference. However
- The inputs may not feel familiar.
- it does require many hours of gameplay to really be able to control and enjoy the character to it's full potential.
- The speed which you use (complex) inputs with, may be the greatest factor to achieve victory.

His kamehameha attacks have different properties and can clash. From weak to strong:
- Normal Goku: D>J | SSJ Goku: DJA+D>J
- Normal Goku: D>J+J | SSJ Goku: D>J
- SSJ Goku: D>J from flying/jumping/dashing
- Normal Goku: >>+D+D>J
- SSJ Goku: D>J+D^J
- SSJ Goku: D>J+J
In case of a struggle between 2 kamehameha attacks of the same kind, the player who is 2nd to fire it usually wins.

Goku's small spirit bomb, DJA+J, can destroy any horizontally moving kamehameha.

The characters have some 'weird' inputs, and it will take time to learn how to use them.

I’ve been working on this project since I was 14 years old with some friends. We eventually put it on hold for a while, and I picked it back up when I was 24. Back then, I tried to add so many characters and modifications that the game kept breaking. I ended up abandoning it again—even though I had added several new mods—and now, at 34, with the help of AI, I was finally able to resolve those issues and finish adding all the modifications I wanted.

Even though it’s built on another creator's work, I’ve put roughly 500 hours into this project. I couldn't tell you the exact number, but there’s a massive amount of work on my end. Originally, this was meant just for personal use with the friends I used to play and have fun with, so it includes content from all kinds of community creators: sprites from other characters adapted into new ones, completely custom sprites made by me, an entirely revamped menu created by me from scratch, and stages based on other creators' work that I’ve modified. Basically, since I didn't have much data editing knowledge, I focused heavily on the game's visuals, though with the help of AI I’ve now been able to add new skills and mechanics to several characters and parts of the game.

I don't want to take credit for anyone else's work. I’ve included a .txt file giving thanks and proper credits for everything I took from other creators—though keep in mind I downloaded many of these assets when I was 14, so I don't remember every single source.

The roster for this version features 50 characters. I’ve mixed characters from X-LF2, XLF2 Omega, and other creators. Everything is detailed inside the .txt file.

The mod is in Spanish since I’m from Spain, but I’ve included some instructions in Korean, Japanese, and English. Along with this post, I’ll be uploading 3 or 4 videos showcasing the mod for anyone interested, and I’ll likely link them in this thread as well. I’ll share the Mega download link both here and in my YouTube video description. I'll also try joining the community Discord to post it there.

I'm just sharing this here for everyone to enjoy!

A visual editor for Little Fighter 2 Remastered character .txt files, in a single HTML file. It runs in Chrome or Edge with no install.

Frames: edit a frame’s properties and its body/attack boxes with the sprite shown behind them. Multi-frame editing, copy/paste, mirror, onion skin, and a paintbrush that saves exactly the edited frame back into the PNG sheet.
Map: the animation chains and combos. You can drag to relink frames.
Stage: a background, an opponent dummy and oid objects, with playback driven by the character’s own movement. It estimates damage, defense and knockdown.
Balance, Compare, Validate: a table of damage and reach, a diff of two characters or versions, and a validator with warnings.
TXT: the file exactly as it will be saved, editable.
Safe saving: it round-trips the file exactly and keeps a .bak backup on the first save.

How to use it

Open the page in Chrome or Edge.
In the Characters tab, click Pick game folder and choose Little Fighter 2 remastered (the folder that contains resources). It loads your characters and sprites.
Pick a character, then edit in Frames (drag boxes, arrows move 1 px, Shift moves 5).
Press Save .txt. It writes to the game folder and keeps a .bak copy of the original.

You can also drag a .txt or PNG sheets onto the window. Without Chrome or Edge it opens files read-only, and saving downloads a copy.

I recently started working on a project called OpenLF2.

It started as a personal challenge: I wanted to see if I could reimplement Little Fighter 2 from scratch with the help of AI and make the result fully open source.

The project has grown quite a bit since then and is now playable on multiple platforms, with support for multiplayer and basic modding.

Game logic is in Lua with some C++ glue code. Logic has been benchmarked to a few hundreds LFR (record) files - matches perfectly.

Features:

• Little Fighter 2 gameplay and game modes
• Network multiplayer
• Keyboard, controller and touch support
• Lua scripting and modding
• Custom characters and assets
• Replay support
• Fullscreen and upscaling

Supported platforms:

• Windows
• Linux
• macOS
• Android
• iOS
• Nintendo Switch
• PlayStation Vita
• WebAssembly / Browser

The project is completely open source and available on GitHub:

https://github.com/OpenLF2/OpenLF2

or on page:

https://openlf2.github.io/OpenLF2

If you're interested in LF2, modding or just curious about how the project works, feel free to check it out!

What started as a challenge became OpenLF2.
