binana

This repository hosts some work related to studying the original game binaries.

You can use the information here to get a headstart when working on the Whoa project.

Header files

To make reverse engineering easier, C header files matching the original memory layout are provided.

Importing headers

To use these headers in Ghidra,

1. go to File > Parse C Source....
2. Select clib.prf as your parse configuration, and clear all source files and input paths.
3. Add the header <game version>/include/main.h to the Source files to parse combo box.
4. press Parse to Program.

TODO: equivalent guide for IDA Pro.

Maintaining headers

Headers should be restricted at all times to the C programming language only. C++ syntax will break type analysis.

To convert C++ namespaces, use double-underscores. For instance:

void Name::Space::Thing();

should become:

void Name__Space__Thing();

Symbol files

Symbol files are text files that map function names and data labels to addresses.
