Recently a friend reached out to me with a clean dump of a particularly obscure arcade game, Contra: Evolution. Released originally for mobile phones back in 2010, it was a Chinese exclusive title. It eventually made its way to the arcade in 2011, and finally Android and iOS in 2013. I decided to take a look at it, and see if I could get it running through device emulation (instead of patching the binaries).

Welcome to my blog or something.
