Does decompiling a game made by a certain development team help decompile others made by the same people? Because you might know what patterns to look for?

- qingcharles 2mo agoNo, not at all. I know where I worked there was zero code reuse across teams and games. Games of this generation had code that wasn't intended to be supported or managed after release (no patches for those consoles) and so the code tended to be fairly horrible.
- hn773746483 2mo agoIt varies. Nintendo for example has plenty of different teams and internal frameworks, but not every game uses them.
- Sesse__ 2mo agoYes. Especially when there are common libraries and you can reuse their names, structures or even entire decompiled routines. There's a fair amount of folklore going around, but less direct sharing than would be ideal.
