Community Decompiling Project

Reverse Engineering Assembly C++ Decompilation

This is a community-driven reverse engineering effort focused on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for GameCube.

What I Did

  • Analyzed MIPS assembly code from the game binary
  • Used decompilation tools to convert assembly to C++98 source code
  • Collaborated with the community to understand game logic and data structures
  • Contributed to the understanding of the game’s rendering engine and physics systems

Tools Used

  • Decompilation Tools: Various tools for converting MIPS assembly to C
  • Debuggers: For runtime analysis of the game
  • Documentation: Extensive note-taking and documentation of findings

Impact

This project helps preserve game history and enables modding communities to better understand classic games.
