Turok: Rage Wars: matching decompilation of five N64 releases

Turok: Rage Wars reconstructs C and assembly source for five Nintendo 64 cartridge releases, including German, European and North American variants. The build splits user-supplied ROMs, compiles the source and checks each rebuilt ROM against its original; the author reports near-complete byte matching.
