Case study

Pebble Beach Golf Links: a byte-matched Mega Drive reconstruction

Reconstructs the European Mega Drive release of Pebble Beach Golf Links from a locally supplied ROM. The project represents the 68000 game code, Z80 audio driver, tables, and asset pipelines in source, then checks the build against the original SHA-256. The author reports a byte-identical 2 MiB ROM build and documents remaining semantic naming work.
