I'm not familiar with the history of this work, so I'll just ask. Is this the assembler code that was written by the original dev team, or were the comments reverse-engineered from a dissassembly of the game's machine code?
- thristian 9y agoIt's a "disassembly", so it's the work of somebody converting machine code back into assembler, and studying it long and hard to add comments, break out numbers into sensible-named constants, and choose decent names for loop labels. The original dev team was almost certainly not involved.
- andyjohnson0 9y agoThanks for the clarification. Given what you've said and the size of the thing, this is an awesome piece of work. The level of detail and perseverance required is enormously impressive.
