Case study

rushrecomp: static recompilation and analysis of Sonic Rush

rushrecomp translates Sonic Rush's Nintendo DS ARM9 and ARM7 code to C ahead of time with ndsrecomp and maintains a parallel manual x86-32 path based on decompiled subsystems. Its notes map ROM functions and hardware accesses, while the manual path records partial function coverage and unresolved stubs.
