Hi there. Be kind and upload what you have someplace and PM me the links. I can help out, am a sucker for dev stuff :) Or debug builds.

EDIT #1: Ah, one of the links points to the ISO.

EDIT #2: If the idea is to get the menu from the XBOX version to PC or vice-versa, then know that for most of these old games, developers used to comment out code that shouldn't have made it in the release build. As such, they had a release executable, a debug or development one and, at times, a test executable. Here.. you have the major issue: wanting to convert XBOX code to PC (PowerPC to Intel). IDA can help identify some functions and name them up, but the ability to do PPC-to-Intel is not something I've seen. And nope, no tools that can do that. So you'll need quite a lot of reverse-engineering knowledge, plus coding (not just C++, but the ability to look at ASM and envision the purpose of the function).

EDIT #3: And the ISO is not Windows-compatible. So, someone with XBOX-reversing knowledge would need to convert the content to .xex format, so IDA can load it up and you could work with it. Another thing I'm not sure exists.. is a .pdb file. Is there any in that ISO? Cuz without it, you'll be swimming in the dark in that PowerPC code...

EDIT #4: Oh, but wait. I didn't know the .xbe file is actually in Intel format? o_O

EDIT #5: So I was able to convert the .xbe to .exe with a small tool -> [Link]. At the bottom of the page, there is a comment: CXBX-0.5.0 - XBE => EXE convertor. With it I can now see this in x64dbg (32-bit version):

Will post more as I progress. Quite nice to do something else for a change, that takes you outside of your 'comfort' zone.

EDIT #6: Looks like others were looking for a way to read the .map file containing the symbols: [Link]. The idea is to try and get them to load along with the binary/xbe/exe, so you can check out the function names.

To anyone who views this: does the .PDB file exist anywhere? I had someone working on an USM model extraction tool, but progress was halted due to not having access to the .PDB file.

We would kindly appreciate it if you stopped returning every once in a while under a new user and resurrecting this topic. Cheers.
