Case study

Snowboard Kids Plus: a matching PlayStation decompilation

Snowboard Kids Plus reconstructs C for the Japanese PlayStation release SLPS-01823 and rebuilds its boot executable with remaining assembly. A build script extracts data from the user's disc image and checks that the resulting executable matches the original byte for byte. The SNB.DAT data file is extracted unchanged.
