Case study

Snowboard Kids: an early matching Nintendo 64 disassembly

The sk project reconstructs the US Nintendo 64 Snowboard Kids ROM from a user-supplied original, using static or dynamic analysis to build a source base. Its present work is described as mostly disassembly; the build workflow extracts needed assets and assembly locally and checks the rebuilt ROM against an MD5 hash.
