# SF1RE: reconstructing the Shining Force analysis database

> SF1RE uses game-specific IDC scripts to rebuild an IDA Pro analysis database for the USA release of Shining Force. Its workflow imports labels and parsing rules, formats the ROM's code and data, and exports a split disassembly for the separate SF1DISASM project to rebuild and compare.
