Medarot Parts Collection: a Game Boy disassembly and translation workspace
medarot1-pc disassembles parts of Medarot Parts Collection for Game Boy and maintains text, tilemap, and tileset extraction tools for a translation workspace. Its build overlays the reconstructed parts on a user-supplied ROM and compares the output with the original.
