Case study

Super Metroid: a C# translation and playable port

A C# translation of Super Metroid implements the game's movement, combat, rooms, menus, rendering and audio. The Windows application extracts required resources from the user's Japan/USA NTSC v1.0 ROM, while original addresses and regression tests guide behavioral comparison. The author reports that it is playable from beginning to end.
