# Space Station Silicon Valley N64
].sections[?(@.section=='all')].percent&suffix=%&link=https%3A//sssv.deco.mp&logo=github&logoColor=959da5&labelColor=353c43)
A WIP decompilation of Space Station Silicon Valley (SSSV) for N64.
Checkout the [wiki](https://github.com/mkst/sssv/wiki) for more information.
**Note:** To use this repository, you must already own a copy of the game.
# Building
The instructions below assume that you will be using `Ubuntu 22.04`; either natively, via [WSL2](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10), or via [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
Please check the [packages.txt](packages.txt) and [requirements.txt](requirements.txt) for the prerequisite Linux and Python packages respectively.
## Natively
Clone the repository; note the `--recursive` flag to fetch submodules at the same time:
```sh
git clone --recursive [email protected]:mkst/sssv.git
```
Navigate into the freshly cloned repo
```sh
cd sssv
```
Place the **US 1.0** SSSV ROM in the root of this repository, name it `baserom.us.z64`, and then run the first `make` command to extract the ROM:
```sh
make extract
```
Now build the ROM:
```sh
make --jobs
```
If you did everything correctly, you'll be greeted with the following:
```sh
build/sssv.us.z64: OK
```
## Docker
Clone this repository, place the `baserom.us.z64` at its root, and then run the Docker image via:
```sh
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/sssv ghcr.io/mkst/sssv:latest
```
From here you can run the `make extract` and `make --jobs` commands.
## Building `EU` Version
Place `baserom.eu.z64` in the root of the repository, and suffix each `make` command with `VERSION=eu`. Note that whilst this will build the EU ROM, minimal effort has been made to decompile this version.
## Building `NON_MATCHING` Version
A number of functions within the ROM have been decompiled to a state where they are functionally equivalent, but are not a byte-perfect match. Progress is approximately **11%** ahead of the fully matching build. In order to build/test the non-matching, pass `NON_MATCHING=1` to the `make` commands.
# ROM Versions
There are 5 known versions of the ROM:
| Country Code | CRC1/CRC2 | ROM SHA1 | Notes | Version |
|:------------------|:-------------------:|:------------------------------------------:|:----------------|:-------:|
| E - North America | `BFE23884/EF48EAAF` | `e5e09205aa743a9e5043a42df72adc379c746b0b` | US 1.0 | `1.37` |
| J - Japanese | `BFE23884/EF48EAAF` | `7320f08474c011fc7781093bf1a6818c37ce51e2` | JP (Unreleased) | `1.37` |
| E - North America | `FC70E272/08FFE7AA` | `c968bba6a90db9ecbd957e910684a80726b0497d` | US 1.1 | `1.37` |
| P - European | `FC70E272/08FFE7AA` | `23710541bb3394072740b0f0236a7cb1a7d41531` | EU | `1.37` |
| ??? | ??? | ??? | [NES World](http://www.nesworld.com/prototype-details.php?system=n64&data=124) | `1.26B` |
Only US and EU versions were released to the public. If you are in possession of a beta/prototype ROM, please let me know - `mkst#4741`.
# ROM Info
## Layout
The layout of the ROM is work-in-progress. Three sections of code have been identified along with a mix of compressed and non-compressed data.
### Main
This is the code that is loaded when the ROM first starts up, it is responsible for spawning the various game threads, handling controller input, playing sound effects etc. Also includes the `libultra` library code.
### Overlay1
This is the code for the language select, intro cinematics and not much else.
**Note:** In the EU ROM this section is compiled without optimisation!
### Overlay2
Overlay2 contains the core Space Station Silicon Valley game logic.
## Compression
Uses [RNC](https://segaretro.org/Rob_Northen_compression) for a number of assets.
Compression is almost completely matching; 261/263 files match after compression. `rnc_461900` and `rnc_63DC20` are still a problem.
In order to decompress the game assets run `make decompress` after you have performed the `make extract` step. This will be done automatically when matching compression has been figured out.

# Tools
- [asm-processor](https://github.com/simonlindholm/asm-processor); allows `GLOBAL_ASM` pragma - replacing assembly inside C files
- [asm-differ](https://github.com/simonlindholm/asm-differ); rapidly diff between source/target assembly
- [decomp-permuter](https://github.com/simonlindholm/decomp-permuter); tweaks code, rebuilds, scores; helpful for weird regalloc issues
- [ido-static-recomp](https://github.com/Emill/ido-static-recomp); no need to use qemu-irix anymore!
- [m2c](https://github.com/matt-kempster/m2c); assembly to C code translator
- [rnc_propack_source](https://github.com/lab313ru/rnc_propack_source); open-source compressor/decompressor for RNC file format
- [splat](https://github.com/ethteck/splat); successor to n64split
