⚠️ This project is not completed and still under active development
This is a work in progress mod using the sa2 decomp.
- Instant Restart Button (Select)
- Special Stage Level Select (L + R on World Map with having all 7 Emeralds)
- Improved Time Attack Menus
- Character Changes
- Many more QoL Changes
It so far builds the following ROMs:
- sa2.gba
sha1: 7bcd6a07af7c894746fa28073fe0c0e34408022d(USA) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) - sa2_europe.gba
sha1: b0f64bdca097f2de8f05ac4c8caea2b80c5faeb1(Europe) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) - 🚧 sa2_japan.gba
sha1: dffd0188fc78154b42b401398a224ae0713edf23(Japan) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) (Work in Progress)
It can also build:
- sa2.sdl
make sdl(Linux/MacOS SDL 64bit port) - sa2.sdl_win32.exe
make sdl_win32(Windows SDL 64bit port) - 🚧 sa2.win32.exe
make win32(Win32 native port, not functional)
- 🎉 The build is 100% from C files with ~80 functions which currently don't match
- All assembly code extracted, disassembled, and decompiled by hand to their C equivilent
- All songs have been extracted, and documented as matching MIDI files
- All sprite animation frames have been extracted to PNGs and are used to build the matching rom
- All tilemaps (backgrounds) have been documented and had their tiles extracted
- The game compiles to a widescreen port (426x240) for multiple platforms
- The "sub games" (Chao Garden and Collect The Rings) have been disassembled but not yet decompiled

- The Kirby & The Amazing Mirror decompilation uses a very similar codebase, as it was written by the same dev team (Dimps)
- https://decomp.me is a great resource for helping to create matching functions
ldscript.txttells the linker the order which files should be linked- For more info, see the FAQs section of TMC
