Sonic the Fighters: a work-in-progress Model2b decompilation

Sonic the Fighters is being reconstructed from its Model2b arcade code, with a mostly assembly-language disassembly intended for function-by-function conversion to C/C++. A Makefile and extraction script use the user's schamp and sfight ROM archives to build program binaries and extract supported data.
