Case study

Super Mario RPG: an SNES disassembly assembled with extracted assets

Super Mario RPG reconstructs the SNES game's code as assembly with ROM maps and supporting scripts. The framework extracts assets from a user-supplied ROM, then assembles the game with Asar; its build script lists US and Japanese ROM options.
