Case study

Pokémon Sword and Shield: matching Pawn script decompilation

Pokémon Sword and Shield's Pawn AMX scripts are reconstructed from game files. The disassembler emits code representations and data sections; a compile tool builds the repository's scripts with gf-pawncc, compares the generated representations and checks binary hashes against the game files.
