# Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II: a byte-matching GBA disassembly

> Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II is reconstructed as a byte-matching GBA disassembly using ARM and Thumb assembly generated from the user's USA ROM. The build also re-encodes game containers, carries remaining bytes as slices of that ROM and compares the output with the retail digest. The author reports that 68.2846% of the ROM builds from tracked source.
