A curated atlas of projects reverse-engineered with morluto/rea (Reverse Engineer Anything), plus comparable decompilation / re-implementation projects. Each entry is marked Uses rea: Yes / No / Unverified — Yes only with public evidence (README, official showcase or repo docs).

Unofficial; not affiliated with morluto/rea. No cracks, piracy, ROMs or copyrighted assets are listed or hosted. Entry summaries are kept in English in every language edition so the lists stay identical.
