# Ganbare Goemon 3: a checksum-checked SFC disassembly

> The Ganbare Goemon 3 project reconstructs the Super Famicom game's ROM as assembly, with bank maps and notes on asset, compression and text formats. Its build extracts required data from the user's unmodified v1.0 ROM and can compare the result with the documented SHA-1.
