The Urbz: Sims in the City: GameCube matching decompilation

The Urbz: Sims in the City GameCube decompilation reconstructs game code for the GUBE69 release. Its decomp.wtf and decomp-toolkit workflow configures a main.dol rebuild, compares the result byte for byte with the user's copy, and uses objdiff to inspect function progress. The repository includes game-specific C sources, symbols, and split configuration.
