Shining Force 2 Reverse Engineer (SF2RE)

About

Shining Force II is a 1993 tactical role-playing game by Sonic! Software Planning for the Sega Genesis; it's longer than the original Shining Force, drops the chapter system for free roaming, and offers two different character promotion paths. SF2RE is a collaborative reverse-engineering project for Shining Force II using IDA Pro, producing IDC scripts and documentation meant to feed into the related SF2DISASM project, which reassembles the disassembly back into a bit-perfect copy of the original ROM.

Getting started

Using it requires IDA Pro: open the "Shining Force II (USA)" ROM to create a new IDB, run the provided initialization and parsing IDC scripts in order, then export the disassembly using the included batch scripts and IDC exporter — a workflow aimed at researchers and modders rather than players.

Additional notes

Purpose

The disassembly is meant to support new games, hacks, and mods based on Shining Force II, not just documentation of the original.
