# Mario Golf 64: an early N64 decompilation

> Mario Golf 64 is an early N64 decompilation project with a ROM split configuration, symbol and relocation data, assembly for unmatched functions and a small amount of reconstructed C. Its build generates nonmatched assembly and links a ROM from the user's local base image.
