Contribute to the decompilation

• Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/Vawlpe/BakuganDotC-decomp.git in the directory you want to keep the project in
• Open Ghidra, go to File > Restore Project, select the misc/bakuganDotC.gar file from the project directory, and save the project at misc/bakuganDotC.ghidra.proj so it's automatically excluded when you want to push changes
• Whenever you're done making changes (This is stupid and will be made easier soon, but for now):
  • Go to Windows > Script Manager and add the misc/scripts/DecompilerExporter.java file as a script, then run it, find it's output directory, usually under your TEMP dir, and copy all the files to src/ sorting and renaming them manually into the appropriate subdirectories as needed.
  • SAVE the project, CLOSE it, and ARCHIVE it as "misc/bakuganDotC.gar", replacing the existing file.
  • Stage and commit your changes, then push them to your fork's remote, or directly to the main repo if you're a trusted contributor.

Contribution Toolchain

• PPSSPP: Use the Windows version due to it's debugging capabilities, it runs fine under wine as well, but the native releases for other platforms do not include the debugger.
• Ghidra: Required to work on the decompilation, to use it you also need Java JDK x64 17+
• Ghidra Allegrex Plugin: Required to work on PSP binaries in Ghidra, also enables the use of the Ghidra debugger in tandem with PPSSPP's debugger.
• A good hex editor (e.g ImHex, HxD, 010Editor)
• Python & AutoHotkey for running various utility scripts
