About

A decompilation of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for the Xbox 360. The repository contains no game assets or assembly, so an existing copy of the game is required, and code progress is tracked on decomp.dev.

Getting started

Windows is recommended with native tooling (Python and ninja), macOS needs ninja and wine-crossover, and Linux needs ninja, with wibo downloaded automatically on x86_64. Progress can be compared with objdiff once the first build succeeds.

What you need to run it

You need an existing copy of the game; the project does not include game assets or assembly.
