Hi everyone! I am wondering if it is possible to get at least some source code from a wad file using ghidra. This also includes the assets of a wad file like graphics. If so, how would I need to set up ghidra?

Ghidra would be more for reverse engineering the app in the wad, a wad itself is just a packed container which can be unpacked with currently available tools

True, do you know any tools for unpacking the wads? If so, do you think you can link them in this forum post?

EDIT: The wad has the dol file in it right?
