=============
A (very much) work-in-progress matching decompilation of the greatest N64 game ever made, [Snowboard Kids 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboard_Kids_2).
**This repository does not contain any game assets or assembly whatsoever. An existing copy of the game is required. This project is not a port, to PC or any other platform. It takes a Nintendo 64 rom, extracts assets from it, and combines them with C code we reverse-engineered from the rom, to produce an identical rom. It is explicitly a non-goal for this project to be used for any commercial purpose.**
## Cloning
Clone this repository, including its submodules:
```
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 git@github.com:cdlewis/snowboardkids2-decomp.git
```

```
Contributing
============
Contributions are most welcome! Feel free to pick a function and open a PR. If you have any additional questions, please reach out on Discord (linked in the header).

Acknowledgements
================
This project wouldn’t be possible without the collective knowledge, tools, and support of the broader decompilation community. Huge thanks to contributors of other N64 decomp projects, the teams behind [decomp.me](https://decomp.me/) and [decomp.dev](https://decomp.dev/), and the incredibly helpful discussions happening on Discord. These resources have been invaluable for solving problems, speeding up setup, and staying motivated throughout the process.
