A script that parses a metroid nes rom file to extract information. Possible use would be pure academic interest or to use the data to render the maps at some later stage.
Early work-in-progress.
It only prints various parts of extracted data about the map, rooms, structures and such.
- Understand how rooms and screens are related
- Understand how rooms and screens and tiles are related
- Write more proper business objects
These are the best sources I have found to understand the structure of the metroid rom. Still missing some info about how tiles/chr are loaded...
