Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness

A work-in-progress decompilation of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.

This repository does not contain any game assets or assembly whatsoever. An existing copy of the game is required.

Supported versions:

NXXJ01: Pokemon XD: Japanese Demo Disc

Will support other versions of Pokemon XD: Game of Darkness and Pokemon Colosseum in the future.

Dependencies

Windows

On Windows, it's highly recommended to use native tooling. WSL or msys2 are not required.
When running under WSL, objdiff is unable to get filesystem notifications for automatic rebuilds.

Install Python and add it to %PATH%.
- Also available from the Windows Store.
Download ninja and add it to %PATH%.
- Quick install via pip: pip install ninja

macOS

Install ninja:
```
brew install ninja
```

Install wine-crossover:

brew install --cask --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover

After OS upgrades, if macOS complains about Wine Crossover.app being unverified, you can unquarantine it using:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine '/Applications/Wine Crossover.app'

Linux

Install ninja.
For non-x86(_64) platforms: Install wine from your package manager.
- For x86(_64), wibo, a minimal 32-bit Windows binary wrapper, will be automatically downloaded and used.

Building

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/my/repo.git

Using Dolphin Emulator, extract your game to orig/NXXJ01.
- To save space, the only necessary files are the following. Any others can be deleted.
  - sys/main.dol
  - files/rels/*.rel
Configure:
```
python configure.py
```
To use a version other than NXXJ01 Pokemon XD: Japanese Demo Disc, specify it with --version.
Build:
```
ninja
```

Visual Studio Code

If desired, use the recommended Visual Studio Code settings by renaming the .vscode.example directory to .vscode.

Diffing

Once the initial build succeeds, an objdiff.json should exist in the project root.

Download the latest release from encounter/objdiff. Under project settings, set Project directory. The configuration should be loaded automatically.

Select an object from the left sidebar to begin diffing. Changes to the project will rebuild automatically: changes to source files, headers, configure.py, splits.txt or symbols.txt.
