Recovering symbols for the game Syndicate Wars by Bullfrog.
This repository contains binaries and symbols related to Syndicate Wars.
The purpose of gathering these is to name functions and global variables in the assemby blob within Syndicate Wars Port.
bin folder contains executable files useful for the
symbol recovery.
symbols folder contains the symbols, in a format
which is not dependent on any specific RE tool.
In particular, these files can be used both with IDA Pro
and with Ghidra.
Several binaries from Bullfrog are included. Some have debug symbols embedded in the EXE, some have additional debug messages within code.
There is also a modified version of wdump.exe which
allows extracting debug info from binaries built with
Watcom C++ compiler.
Symbols are included in two formats:
map format is a very simple, basic format, based
on log files generated by Microsoft compilers (though
other compilers today have an option to generate MAP
file as well). It is very easy to read and load into
any disassembler; to load it into Ida Pro, use
ida-pro-loadmap plugin.
xml format is developed for more complex sharing
of symbols between Ida Pro and Ghidra. Use Ghidra IDAPro
Extensions to load them into any of these tools.
