This is currently a disassembly of the game known as Earthbound in the west and Mother 2 in the east. Hopefully, in the future, it will be able to evolve into a proper decompilation. Contributions are welcome.

Requirements

• ebbinex
• ca65 v2.19
• spcasm v1.1.0 (or later)
• git (or some other way to acquire this source code)
• GNU make or compatible

TODO

• Extract and build assets with a better format.
• Document all the things!
• Determine and locate a copy of the version of VUCC used for the original game.
  • Alternatively, attempt to recreate that version using the version of VUCC released with the Virtual Boy SDK
• Decompile C code.
