Case study

Final Fantasy V: a matching SNES disassembly for two ROM versions

Final Fantasy V Disassembly reconstructs the SNES game as 65c816 and SPC-700 assembly for Japanese 1.0 and RPGe 1.10 builds. Python tools extract graphics, text and other data from a user-provided ROM, while ca65 and ld65 assemble the project. The author reports that the matching ROM stage is complete and readability work continues.
