Donkey Kong Country: a work-in-progress SNES disassembly

Donkey Kong Country reconstructs assembly source for the SNES US v1.0 release. The work began with snes2asm output and includes game banks, SPC700 audio code, build scripts and notes on the ROM's HiROM layout. The project aims to recreate the game's source through static and dynamic analysis.
