This page collects all the posts that are related to reverse engineering a specific game rather than an entire console or platform.
This page maintains a comprehensive, curated list of retail console games that have been successfully reverse engineered and decompiled back into compilable source code (C/C++). It tracks the progress of major community projects across platforms like the Nintendo 64, GameCube, and PlayStation, including high-profile achievements such as Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Jak and Daxter. We have a specific post all about it here:
We have a specific page that serves as a directory for officially released or leaked source code of retail console games, specifically focusing on the official source code rather than disassemblies and decompilations:
Game engines provide the foundational logic for graphics, audio, and input, while middleware focuses on specific subsystems like physics (PhysX) or sound (FMOD). Our page explores the evolution of these tools, from proprietary in-house engines to commercial giants like Unity and Game Maker, and categorizes them by platform to aid in reverse engineering efforts.
We have a specific post that aggregates all our posts on games with debug symbols separated by console platform here:
