# The New Tetris: a matching Nintendo 64 decompilation

> The New Tetris project reconstructs source for the US 1.0 Nintendo 64 game through static and dynamic analysis. Its build uses a user-provided ROM to extract assets and assembly, compiles the recovered C source, and checks the output ROM against a documented MD5. The source reconstruction is described as work in progress.
