Case study

Ratatouille: matching the January 2006 prototype

The project reconstructs C/C++ source for the January 18, 2006 Ratatouille prototype and compares builds with four original GameCube ELF variants. It uses build scripts and objdiff for function-level comparison; the author reports that matched code is byte-identical while the overall decompilation remains unfinished.
