A new open-source project has produced a complete, byte-identical decompilation of the November 2004 debug prototype of Resident Evil 4 for GameCube, covering the main executable and all 114 overlay modules. The repository includes roughly 555,000 lines of reconstructed C/C++ code and 33,000 lines of headers, but no original game assets or disc data—users must supply their own dumped disc images to build and verify the match.

A community decompilation effort has recreated 100% of the source code for the original Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 64, according to a listing on Decomp.dev. The completed project, hosted on GitHub with build instructions, means the 1999 platform fighter can now theoretically be ported natively to modern systems like Windows or Android rather than relying on emulation.
