Beetle Adventure Racing! Decompilation

About

The repository currently builds only the US version, with PAL, Japanese and Australian versions planned. A companion recompilation project, BAR-Recomp, is linked from the README.

Getting started

The repository contains no game assets, assembly code or other copyrighted material, so you must provide your own legally obtained copy of the game. On Windows, install WSL; on Linux or macOS install the listed build dependencies, clone the repo with submodules, run make dependencies, copy your ROM into the project root as baserom.us.z64, then run make extract. Later builds use make, and a successful build prints OK for the built US ROM.
