Case study

The Witcher 3: bounded native function recovery for ARM64

The Witcher 3 native research recovers selected vector, VM, and decoder functions from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for ARM64 port experiments. Ghidra helpers extract references, while C models and harnesses compare x64 and ARM64 behavior; the author reports checks of 21 small function bodies and no complete engine or playable port.
