# Destruction Derby 64: a matching decompilation of the US ROM

> A matching decompilation of the US Nintendo 64 ROM of Destruction Derby 64. The user supplies baserom.z64, SHA-1 a2c0799e13566d1b723299592cfcac9387f25fa7; the default make target rebuilds the ROM and sha1sum checks it against dd64.sha1.

## Requirements & limits

- **Scope:** The README says the builder supplies Destruction Derby 64 (USA) as baserom.z64 with that SHA-1, and that the ROM is not in the repository. It says a matching build prints build/dd64.z64: OK, and that 1510 of 1548 functions are C. It also describes the repository as a hands-off agent experiment whose author did not review the code.
- **Testing evidence:** The Makefile's default goal is check, which runs sha1sum -c on dd64.sha1. That file expects build/dd64.z64 to have the same SHA-1.
- **License:** The pinned root listing has no LICENSE file, and the README states no license.
