# medarot: a partial matching disassembly of Medarot Kabuto

> medarot reconstructs portions of the Game Boy game Medarot Kabuto in assembly while importing unreconstructed ranges from baserom.gbc. Its RGBDS build compares the resulting ROM against that base ROM.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** A local baserom.gbc is required to supply unreconstructed ROM ranges and for comparison.
- **Prerequisites:** RGBDS tools rgbasm, rgblink and rgbfix are required by the Makefile.
- **Limits:** The reconstruction is partial; main.asm still imports ranges from the base ROM.
- **License:** No licence file in the repository.
