# SF2RE: reconstructing Shining Force II disassembly in IDA

> SF2RE records Shining Force II reverse-engineering work as IDA Pro IDC scripts rather than a checked-in ROM image. The scripts initialize and annotate an IDA database from the USA ROM, parse game structures and export a split disassembly to SF2DISASM, where a vanilla build can be checked for bit-perfect output.
