The Urbz: Sims in the City: Nintendo DS ARM9 disassembly and function map

urbz-re investigates the USA Nintendo DS release of The Urbz: Sims in the City through an ARM9 split, assembly listings, symbol names, and function notes. Its build script checks a user-supplied ROM and regenerates assembly with ds-decomp 0.12.1. The source tree has no matched C yet; the author reports that 280 ARM9 functions have been read.
