Disassembly of the Pokémon Gold and Silver 1997 Space World demo. The goal is to correct/restore as much content as possible.

Primary LanguageAssembly

This is a fork of the Pokémon Gold Spaceworld 1997 Demo disassembly.

The aim is to restore as much content in the demo as possible. For more information about the Spaceworld 1997 demo, check out the article on tcrf:
Proto:Pokémon Gold and Silver/Spaceworld 1997 Demo

It builds the following ROMs:

  • Gold_debug.sgb sha1: 878750e6cfa9b7d9a50d64bde7e1ef56362ef91d
  • Gold_debug.sgb (correct header) sha1: ba47adcca68396b882ad96801e85a4e357f4c780

You will need to provide a copy of Gold_debug.sgb renamed baserom.gb to build the ROMs. Thanks to Polished Map for allowing me to correct the collision data and other map issues with ease.
