    After looking through all the PS1/PS2 games with debug symbols I thought I would give it a go for Nintendos first retail CD-based console the Gamecube.

    Gamecube games are initially developed as PowerPC Big-Endian ELF files and then converted to the DOL executable format before running on the hardware.

    There are tools available to convert ELF files to DOL, including the official SDK from Nintendo, but they all strip-out the developer debug symbols. Presumably, this is because there is no section in the DOL format for storing these symbols, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

    This means there are 2 ways to find debug symbols on gamecube disks, one is to check to see if the original .elf file is also available on the disk, and the other is to look for a .map or .sym file ont he disk that matches the .dol file available.

    Here is the list of Retail Gamecube games I have found with debug symbols so far:
    1. 007 - Agent Under Fire
    2. 007 - Everything or Nothing
    3. Backyard Sports - Baseball 2007 (USA)
    4. Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 2002 - Nettou! Magne Tag Battle! (Japan)
    5. Beyblade VForce - Super Tournament Battle

    8. BloodRayne (United Kingdom)
    9. Blowout (USA)
    10. Bratz - Rock Angelz (France)

    12. Crash Bandicoot 4 - Sakuretsu! Majin Power (Japan)
    13. Cubix Robots for Everyone - Showdown (USA)
    14. Dark Summit (USA)
    15. Densetsu no Quiz Ou Ketteisen (Japan)

    43. SX Superstar
    44. Tetris Worlds (Japan)
    45. UFC - Throwdown
    46. ZooCube (Japan)

    I have also mirrored this list on my website with some additional information such as how many symbols are in each game: http://www.retroreversing.com/gamecube-debug-symbols

    Does anyone know of any more retail/prototype games that have debug symbols in them, or prototype games where it would be possible to get the source code?

    Many thanks

    Wind Waker has them, or was it the demo of it on one of the interactive demo discs, or both? At least one of them does anyway.
