Sonic Advance 2
⚠️ This project is not completed and still under active development
This is a work in progress matching decompilation of Sonic Advance 2
It builds the following ROMs:
- sa2.gba
sha1: 7bcd6a07af7c894746fa28073fe0c0e34408022d(USA) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) - sa2_europe.gba
sha1: b0f64bdca097f2de8f05ac4c8caea2b80c5faeb1(Europe) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) - sa2_japan.gba
sha1: dffd0188fc78154b42b401398a224ae0713edf23(Japan) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) - sa2_japan_vc.gba
sha1: 2aa6ee2cf2b0ebfafbea6d6d24165b252a7e329e(Japan) (En,Ja,Fr,De,Es,It) (Virtual Console) - sa2_beta.gba
sha1: 3368642fc4157824af63367e2a685b7d6ee9b09d(USA) (Beta) (2002-10-25)
It can also build:
- sa2.sdl
make sdl(Linux/MacOS SDL 64bit port) - sa2.sdl_win32.exe
make sdl_win32(Windows SDL 64bit port) - 🚧 sa2.win32.exe
make win32(Win32 native port, not functional)
Current state
- 🎉 The build is 100% from C files with ~60 functions which currently don't match
- All assembly code extracted, disassembled, and decompiled by hand to their C equivilent
- All songs have been extracted, and documented as matching MIDI files
- All sprite animation frames have been extracted to PNGs and are used to build the matching rom
- All tilemaps (backgrounds) have been documented and had their tiles extracted
- Most aspects of core game play have been documented, but >600 functions are still unnamed
- The game compiles to a widescreen port (426x240) for multiple platforms
Sub games
Within the Sonic Advance 2 rom there are some "Sub games" which we have begun to decompile as part of this project. These sub games are automatically compiled and bundled during the main build process, as they are necessary to create a matching binary.
| Multiboot rom | Decompilation |

Notes
- The Kirby & The Amazing Mirror decompilation uses a very similar codebase, as it was written by the same dev team (Dimps)
- https://decomp.me is a great resource for helping to create matching functions
ldscript.txttells the linker the order which files should be linked- For more info, see the FAQs section of TMC
