# Star Fox: a matching SNES sound-driver disassembly

> This project disassembles the N-SPC/Kankichi-kun SNES sound-driver variant used in Star Fox and Starwing. Its assembly source separates driver code, sound-effect tables, macros and instrument patches, and the build can compare the resulting SGSOUND0.BIN with an original copy.
