Sure, the graphics arent the most fantastic but its a nice throwback and still a decent, free pinball games.First introduced in Microsoft Plus 95, 3D Pinball - Space Cadet features 3D graphics and addictive gameplay.Take on the role of a space fleet member that must completes missions in order to increase his rank. That sounds like it makes sense but guess what? It works just fine. and the decompiler has misinterpreted it as a longlong because of the access patterns (64bit pointers).If you had Windows 95 with the Plus! pack (or XP) back in the day, you had a free game that is no longer available Pinball! It stopped showing up after Windows XP because Microsoft said it was too difficult to port. So I think this might be part of an initialization function for some property on top of a object that exists at *param_1.

The 0x2b part I'm not sure about myself but it looks like some other kind of similar checks.Īnd actually then thinking about the way it's calling it, i'm wondering if this is actually from some C++ standard library code for doing stuff with a vtable, looking up the vtable entry and checking it's validity before calling it (in this case, location 0x18, and checking some kind of RTTI at 0x28 and 0x2b) and storing that it's been initialized in 0x21. 3D Pinball for Windows Space Cadet is a version of the Space Cadet table that was originally packaged with Microsoft Plus 95 and later included with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP.This version of Pinball, developed by David Plummer at Microsoft, was essentially a rewrite of the game using the original art. From my memory, the windows ABI uses the first two bytes of functions for installing hooks/debugging by patching the first two bytes into some kind of jump (while originally being nops). Although most will probably associate the pinball game to the equally famous Windows XP, Space Cadet was bundled earlier, in Microsoft Plus, the discounted commercial version of the Windows 95 operating system. This particular one looks like it's taking a function pointer in and checking if it's a valid function (not null) and then checking the first two bytes of the function. The sibling comment covers it a bit more in detail, but it's largely just some guessing and as much an art to figuring out what the types are or could be.
(disclosure: per the child post, my original assumption that OpenRCT2 was copied out of Hex-Rays was inaccurate, since it was originally written in assembler it didn't follow a standard C ABI and the decompiler wouldn't work properly anyway).

For example, OpenRCT2 started as a repository full of manually created source with Hex-Rays names and slowly evolved module-by-module into readable source code.

Highly manual process, for some files it's just pattern matching / renaming and goes really quickly, for others it's full reimplementation and a bit harder.Īnd, if you look at most "decompiled game" projects, I think this is the industry standard way to do this.
When I've done this in the past, it basically consists of:ġ) Decompile project using Ghidra/IDA, first pass.Ģ) Load symbols if present (sounds like there was a PDB for this one, which makes things a lot easier).ģ) Read decompilation/asm for unnamed subs and try to name them based on what they do.Ĥ) Export all decompiled source into an editor and start copy/paste/editing into readable source.
I'm not aware of any good general-case automation for this.
