Like a complete breakdown of all code, documenting subroutines, methods, input/output parameters - that kind of thing. Just wondering if it had been done at any time |
| TopJimmyCooks:
Isn't that what MAME is? or is intended to be by the mamedev's? |
| jimmy2x2x:
Not really what I was meant. I was thinking about reconstructed source code that could be assembled into a working rom image, with all the code seperated from the data and documented to some degree. |
| TopJimmyCooks:
The documentation issue- not sure about that, but theoretically the roms are from the chips and can be used to reprogram chips that could be used on the PCB boards for the game. |
