v1.0

The first complete release. One C source tree builds all seven known versions of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and every build is byte-identical to the original: the main executable and every area module (REL).

Highlights

  • 100% code, functions, data and linking in every version.
  • All C. The only assembly is what the original sources had in assembly: a few SDK, runtime and debugger routines, the hardware helpers in include/hwaccess.h and memcpy_as4.
  • One tree for seven versions. The differences are written as ordered VERSION_* conditions, in the order the code was built: June US demo < Japanese demo < JP < US < September US demo < European demo < PAL. docs/VERSIONS.md describes every difference.
  • Readable. Structs instead of raw offsets, typed data, named event scripts, and a comment on every function. Names invented here rather than taken from a symbol map are listed in docs/NAME_PROVENANCE.md.
  • Documented. Separate docs cover the architecture, a glossary of the romanised Japanese names, the original game's bugs that the code reproduces, and every behaviour-identical matching trick (docs/FAKES.md).

Building

You need your own copy of the game: this repository contains no game assets and no disassembled game code. See docs/BUILDING.md for where each version's disc or .tgc goes, then run python configure.py --version <version> followed by ninja.
