Case study

Tom and Jerry Tales: matching decompilation of the EU Nintendo DS game

Tom and Jerry Tales reconstructs C source for the EU Nintendo DS game with Metrowerks mwccarm. Its matching process counts a function only when its compiled bytes match the original and the user's ROM still rebuilds byte for byte; the author reports 92.10% matched code and 1889 of 1931 functions in the dated progress table.
