Nippon Safe's Inc Parallax Engine fully ressourced :)

[dlfrsilver]

Hello guys,

I have fully ressourced Paolo Costabel's Parallax Engine and have produced a source that can be reassembled (same size as the original) with Barfly (BASM)

you'll find it here :

PS : Nippon Safes is a halfbright game (64 colors)

That doesn't look like a really usable disassembly, all offsets relative to a4 have not been converted so anyone who wants to change/modify something will most probably break the code.

[dlfrsilver]

i have stated it in the header, nothing can be changed actually.

This must allow bug searching mainly.

Can you be more explicit and give an example about A4 register ?

[StingRay]

A disassembly like this is pretty much useless. Almost no references/labels created due to missing base register conversions. So instead of for example code like "lea text-base(a4),a0" your disassembly looks like "lea $1234(a4),a0". There is a lot of information lost that way for obvious reasons.

[dlfrsilver]

that's true, but as it is, my source can be reassembled with no errors

A disassembly full of dc.w statements can be reassembled without any errors as well...

[dlfrsilver]

True, you know that i have NOT identified all the internal parts of the source.

But to be honest, are you willing to lend me a hand on this matter ?

I'm all ears

I can do that but what exactly do you need the disassembled source for?

[dlfrsilver]

1) Help finding the bugs inside the code
2) retranslate the game (easy for game files, not for the code)
3) Paolo Costabel has no more the original source code
