Decomp Permuter FAQs

Question 1

Is this skill specific to Snowboard Kids 2?

Accepted Answer

While this skill is configured for the Snowboard Kids 2 repository, the underlying decomp-permuter methodology is applicable to many N64 and legacy console decompilation projects.

Question 2

How do I use the output from the permuter?

Accepted Answer

The tool generates improved versions of your code in the 'nonmatchings' directory. You should review the 'diff.txt' and incorporate changes that make logical sense into your source file.

Question 3

Does the permuter run indefinitely?

Accepted Answer

By default, this skill uses a 'timeout 300s' command to ensure the process terminates, though you can adjust this duration based on the complexity of the function.

Question 4

Can the permuter fix logic or control flow errors?

Accepted Answer

No, the permuter is specifically designed for register allocation and instruction scheduling. Logic and control flow differences should be resolved manually before running the tool.

Question 5

When should I use the Decomp Permuter skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill when you have a function that is logically correct and achieves a 95% or higher match, but still has minor register or instruction ordering differences.
