About this project
Phase Distorter: a native Linux and Windows port of EarthBound (US) and Mother 2 (Japanese), written in C++20. The 65816 program is translated to C++ from the ebsrc disassembly, keeping the original’s file names and line numbers so every part can be traced back; the game’s assets are imported from your own ROM. It ships 16:9, 21:9, and 32:9 widescreen with expanded scenery, an optional CRT filter, controller support, persistent saves, and a settings window.
What you need
Your own EarthBound (US, English) or Mother 2 (Japanese) ROM. Neither ROMs nor extracted asset packs are included.
