About
Donald Land is described in the repo's own README as an obscure NES game starring Ronald McDonald (called Donald in the Japanese version) rescuing his friends from unrelated enemies, and reportedly the first licensed McDonald's video game. This is a complete disassembly of the NES game Donald Land, produced after the author researched the game's RAM and level-data format for the 7th entry of TASVideos' "Dream Team Contest." The disassembly itself, with code commentary the author describes as still crude, was created by Raidenthequick at the author's request. The repository also includes a Lua script for the BizHawk emulator (tested on v2.2.2) that displays player, sprite, level, and misc info for TASing, with a toggleable options menu and a cheats feature.
Getting started
This is primarily a disassembly and TASing toolkit rather than a standalone playable release; the included BizHawk Lua script overlays player/sprite/level info and cheats on top of the original game while it runs in the emulator.
History
The project grew out of research the author did for the 7th entry of TASVideos' Dream Team Contest; the disassembly itself was created by Raidenthequick at the author's request so they could study the game's mechanics at the code level.

Additional notes
- Known limitations
- The author describes the disassembly's code commentary as still very crude and states an intention to keep working on it.
