Ghidra-SuperMonkeyBallTools

Ghidra plugin with tools for Super Monkey Ball 2 reverse engineering.

Install

• Ensure that OpenJDK 21 is installed correctly
• Download the plugin .zip from the releases page
• Move the .zip to <Ghidra install dir>/Extensions/Ghidra/
• Start Ghidra, go to (File > Install Extensions...), and enable the extension
• Restart Ghidra, then open the decompilation in Code Browser and enable the extension when prompted

If you had a previous version of the plugin installed and the windows/hotkeys appear absent, for unknown reasons, you may need to remove .ghidra/ in your home directory and try again. File an issue if you run into this so it can be debugged further.

Features

Address Conversion

• Convert a Ghidra address to an address in GameCube memory
• Convert a Ghidra address to a location in a .dol/.rel file
• Convert an address in GameCube memory to a Ghidra address

SMB Address Conversion window: Window > SMB: Convert Address in CodeBrowser

Shift-G: Go to GameCube RAM address

You can also import a DOL/REL RAM address map. See locations-sample.json.

Symbol Export

• Export symbol addresses
  • SMB2PracticeMod / SMB2WorkshopMod format
  • cube_code format
• Export complete C/C++ headers - much better than Ghidra's built-in support

Build from Source

• Ensure you have JAVA_HOME set to the path of your JDK 21 installation
• Set GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to your Ghidra install directory. This can be done in one of the following ways:
  • Windows: Running set GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra without quotations>
  • macOS/Linux: Running export GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra>
  • Using -PGHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR=<Absolute path to Ghidra> when running Gradle
  • Adding GHIDRA_INSTALL_DIR to your environment variables
• Run .\gradlew.bat (Windows) or ./gradlew (macOS/Linux)
• You'll find the output .zip file inside /dist
