Star Wars Rogue Squadron Decompilation
Source code reconstructed from the original game's compiled binary, so the game can be understood, rebuilt and ported.
Based on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
About
A very rough, early attempt at decompiling Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the N64 (USA version 1.0). The author says it cannot properly be called a decomp yet: the ROM can only barely be split into parts and cannot be recompiled into a matching ROM. The project contains Splat configuration files, a few utilities for extracting game assets, notes, and a couple of files passed through M2C with minor annotations.
Getting started
Install Splat, place your own ROM (USA v1.0, matching the sha1 given in the README) in the project root as rogue_squadron.z64, and run splat split roguesquadron.yaml. The author says the split has several issues, such as code and data being mixed up and jump tables not always being identified.
Known issues & limitations
- The project cannot recompile the parts into a matching ROM.
What you need to run it
Additional notes
- Zlib
- The game contains only the inflate half of zlib, and the author could not determine which zlib version it uses because parts of the code point to contradictory versions.
