Features

• Few external dependencies: Just python for the generator and ninja for the build system. See Dependencies.
• Simple configuration: Everything lives in config.yml, symbols.txt, and splits.txt.
• Multi-version support: Separate configurations for each game version, and a configure.py --version flag to switch between them.
• Feature-rich analyzer: Many time-consuming tasks are automated, allowing you to focus on the decompilation itself. See Analyzer features.
• REL support: RELs each have their own symbols.txt and splits.txt, and will automatically be built and linked against the main binary.
• No manual assembly: decomp-toolkit handles splitting the DOL into relocatable objects based on the configuration. No game assets are committed to the repository.
• Progress calculation and upload script for frogress.
• Integration with objdiff for a diffing workflow.
• CI workflow template for GitHub Actions.
