Case study

SonicBlastGGRecomp: a Game Gear Sonic Blast static recompilation

SonicBlastGGRecomp configures smsggrecomp to translate the Game Gear Sonic Blast Z80 program into native C from a user's ROM. Its game-specific configuration, build script and coverage suite accompany the runtime's modeled video, sound and mapper behavior; the author reports assisted scene coverage while unassisted play remains unverified.
