Sonic the Fighters: an i960 program ROM disassembly

stfdisasm reconstructs the i960 program ROM of Sonic the Fighters as assembly source. The build instructions use i960 assemblers and a Python splitter to produce two interleaved ROM files, which the tool can compare against listed MD5 hashes; the author says the build is not yet shiftable.
