# Dunk Shot: commented MSX disassembly

> Dunk Shot documents the 1986 MSX game's code and data through a commented disassembly generated from a user-provided cartridge image. Its tools trace Z80 control flow, draw graphics from cartridge data, inspect sound pieces and compare the reassembled ROM with the original; the author reports a byte-for-byte match.
