About

Mega Man 5 is a 1992 platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System, released in Japan in December 1992 and shortly after in North America. This is a complete disassembly of the NTSC-U Mega Man 5 (NES) ROM, covering all code and data, and reassembles to a byte-for-byte clean ROM using the included xkas-plus build (a prebuilt Windows binary is bundled for convenience). The game uses the MMC3 mapper chip with 32 PRG banks and 32 CHR banks of $2000 bytes each; not all of the disassembled code is documented yet.

Getting started

Assemble the disassembly with `./xkas -o mm5.nes assemble.asm` to produce a clean ROM identical to the original, which can then be run in any NES emulator.

Requires original assets. Requires a clean ROM that assembles to match the original Mega Man 5 (NES) binary.

Additional notes

Contributing
The disassembly itself is complete, but documentation of the code isn't finished — the author welcomes pull requests to add it.
