Duck Hunt Disassembly: reconstructing the World release in assembly

Duck Hunt Disassembly reconstructs the game's World release as NES assembly using nesgodisasm and an emulator code/data log. The assembly builds through ca65 and ld65, with a CRC-32 check against the target ROM; RAM-viewer experiments inform its variable notes.
