Rom Parser

A small library for parsing roms.

• The batch files are useless. They come from the alpha.

It is important to install these packages for python beforehand: argparse, rich, os and subprocess.

• Argparse

pip install argparse

• Rich

pip install rich

• Os

pip install os

• Subprocess

pip install subprocess

Using it is very simple.

• You need to open a terminal in the respective directory (e.g. GB, GBA, GBC).
• Then enter:

make read_rom <file>

• Now you will see a lot of information about the ROM.

Important:

• In the GB, GBA, GBC folder the following file extensions are supported: .gb, .gba and .gbc.
• In the NES, SNES folder the following file extensions are supported (beta): NES: .nes, .fds and .unf and SNES: .sfc, .smc, .fig, .bs and .st.

Subfunctions

• You now have an input that looks like this:

  What do you want to do?
  [1] Display the entire ROM content
  [2] Create a HEX file
  [3] Display a specific address
  [4] Start the game in mGBA
  [5] Exit
  Please enter your selection (1/2/3/4/5):

  • Function 1 prints the entire content of the ROM in hex and ascii.
  • Function 2 does the same as function one, except that it exports the entire ROM content to a hex file.
  • Function 3 lets you display the content of a specific address (hex and ascii).
  • Function 4 starts the ROM in mGBA. Please install it first if you want.
  • Function 5 ends the script.

mGBA path

• It is important that you specify the correct path in the python files.
• It should look like this:

mgba_path = 'c:\\Program Files\\mGBA\\mGBA.exe'
