Medabots: Rokusho Version: a matching GBA decompilation
Medabots: Rokusho Version reconstructs the USA Game Boy Advance game's functions as C compiled with agbcc. Its build inserts graphics, sound and other data from the user's baserom, then compares the resulting ROM with the original. The author reports all functions decompiled and a matching ROM build; module reorganization continues.
