Decompilation
About this project

A complete matching decompilation of the USA Rev 0 release: all 1,738 functions and every initialized-data byte rebuild the original ROM exactly, checked by CI. It's the game's source code rather than a port, so there's nothing to play on PC yet.

What you need

No build to play. Contributors need the USA Rev 0 ROM, dumped from their own cartridge.
