# Mega Man X6: matching PlayStation code and overlay decompilation

> mmx6 reconstructs the US v1.1 PlayStation Mega Man X6 boot executable and ROCK_X6.BIN code overlays as C source. Its build uses the era's toolchain and checks each produced binary against the original hash; the repository includes source, overlay configurations and matching workflow documentation.
