Shining in the Darkness: a rebuildable 68k disassembly

Shining in the Darkness is reconstructed as a 68k assembly listing intended for documentation and fan projects. Scripts split data chunks from the user's original US ROM and assemble them with the code. The author reports that the resulting ROM is bit identical to the original.
