Case study

Banjo-Kazooie: Xbox Live Arcade decompilation

This decompiles the Xbox Live Arcade version of Banjo-Kazooie. The expected default.xex has SHA-1 24f81f8058d1be416d95ccfcb5ebd2503eb4fd47. make split reads bk.yaml, and make regenerates merged.xex. The documented Xbox 360 SDK is version 7645. Comparisons use Visual Studio 2005 SP1 output against GCC for PowerPC, so objdiff shows function-call relocations as different.
