Pokemon Spike 3 Rootfs Triage Wiki

Static triage of the extracted Raspberry Pi based root filesystem in this workspace.

High-level Findings

• Product/banner identity: Stern Pinball Spike 3 from /etc/issue.
• OS base: Buildroot 2024.08.1 from /usr/lib/os-release.
• BusyBox: v1.36.1, build string 2025-10-22 11:34:32 EDT.
• CPU/userland target: 64-bit ARM/aarch64. Main ELFs use /lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 and report Linux ABI 6.6.0.
• Kernel module tree: /lib/modules/6.6.28-v8, consistent with Raspberry Pi 64-bit kernel packaging.
• Init system: BusyBox init using /etc/inittab, not systemd.
• Boot sequence: /etc/inittab mounts runtime filesystems and runs /etc/init.d/rcS, which executes every /etc/init.d/S??* script in lexical order.
• Primary application path: /games/game -> /games/pokemon_pro/game.
• Main game payloads:
  • /games/pokemon_pro/game: stripped AArch64 PIE, 52,829,400 bytes.
  • /games/pokemon_pro/conagent: stripped AArch64 PIE, 272,432 bytes.
  • /games/pokemon_pro/image.bin: 1,154,884,359 bytes.
  • /games/pokemon_pro/assets/godot/main.pck: 256,326,416 bytes.
• Game version hint: /games/spk/index/pokemon_pro.sidx -> pokemon_pro-0_83_0.sidx, and release notes are under /games/pokemon_pro/data/.
• SPIKE support package version: /usr/local/spike/VERSION.txt says SPIKE3_secure v1.0.6.

Notes and Caveats

• This is static filesystem triage. I did not execute target AArch64 binaries.
• The extracted /boot directory is empty here. /etc/fstab expects /dev/mmcblk0p1 to mount at /boot as read-only VFAT with noauto; the actual boot partition may be a separate extraction artifact.
• I did not copy sensitive values into the wiki. In particular, corefile_passphrase.txt exists and is referenced by the core export script, but its value is intentionally omitted.
• viewer.html is generated by scripts/build_viewer.py; rebuild it after wiki page edits so Markdown links, sidebar navigation, search, and source views stay in sync.
