Earthbound Zero Decompilation

About

A Ghidra decompilation of Earthbound Zero (Mother), made with Ghidra 11.3. The repository holds a cleaned project file with no copyrighted material, and the user supplies the game ROM separately.

Getting started

Download the cleaned decompile file from the repo, then use the GhidraZipCleaner tool together with your own Earthbound Zero ROM to produce a ROM-populated Ghidra project. Import that into Ghidra and open it in the CodeBrowser. The readme says the ROM can be dumped from a cartridge or may be found on archival websites.

What you need to run it

Modding & tools

• Strings are decoded and labelled with the GhidraTextDecode plugin, and the NES file is loaded with GhidraNES.

Additional notes

Contribution rule

Contributors must not push ROMs or uncleaned project files; exports are cleaned with GhidraZipCleaner before sharing.
