Case study

Pokémon Rumble: an early Wii decompilation

The Pokémon Rumble project reconstructs C and C++ source for the Wii game, targeting USA revision WPSE01_01. Its workflow extracts main.dol from the owner's WAD, builds with Ninja and uses objdiff to compare changed objects; the author describes the work as very early.
