; "Tails Crusher" Disassembly - Information File
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Disassembly created by:	Selbi (August 2010)
; Original ROM by:		Cyan Helkaraxe (December 2002)
; Disassembled with:		IDA Pro Advanced 64-bit (v5.5)
; Original link to the ROM:	http://www.emulationzone.org/projects/cyan/coding/index.htm#tailscrusher
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

; I actually just did this disassembly for fun. Really, there was no point other than getting used to IDA.
; Maybe I will do something more serious in the future.
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Something you might wanna know: Since this was done at a time ASM hacking just started, this isn't always well
; programmed. For example, this isn't done by plane mappings, but tile-by-tile (not the art itself, but the art
; to be later displayed in the ROM, you can see that by looking in the VRAM).
; However, Cyan wasn't dumb though. In fact, he made up a system that should make it impossible for hackers to
; change the art and he pretty much succeeded. You can no longer just edit the art. He shifted pixels here and
; there. The tiles are easy to see when opening in Tile Viewers (like SonMapED), but editing them will be a pain
; in the neck. If you can live with that, you should have no problem editing the art though. (And if it motivates
; you, the art is being displayed just fine in the VRAM, so there is probably some kind of algorithm, that loads
; the tiles into the correct spot for each sequence of tiles.)
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Anyway, here are some brief informations about the files (even though most them are totally obvious):
;
; - COMPRESS.BIN:		The original ROM by Cyan. Don't ask me why he named it like this.
; - TailsCrusher.asm:		The ASM file you can put you're stuff in. It's pretty unlabeled, but
;				 since it's that small, you shouldn't have much trouble finding things yourself.
;				 (Also, please note that this code is slightly optimized. Cyan didn't always
;				 program things well. ~Special Thanks to MarkeyJester for this!)
; - TC-Unoptimized.asm:		The same file as TailsCrusher.asm, just unoptimized, meaning, I haven't done
;				 anything but labeling and commenting to the code.
; - TailsCrusher_Built.bin:	The builded ROM after opening build.bat.
; - build.bat:			Assembles the ROM. Opens the ROM automatically after pressing start (provided
;				 you are opening .bin files with an Emulator by default).
; - split.bat:			Splits the visual data and sounds from the ROM into separate files. (This thing
; 				 was even more unnecessary than the disassembly itself. :V)
; - SplitData.txt:		Contains the information to create the folders and to split offset-based data
;				 from the ROM.
; - IDA.i64:			The IDA file. Since I'm using a 64-bit OS, you need to have one as well or else
;				 you can't open it. I'm afraid I don't know how to make a 32-bit one. =(
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; - art\Art1_Normal.bin:	The standard art (basically Sonic, Tails, Eggman/Knuckles on the giant 3
;				 and the "not so pretty" stuff).
; - art\Art2_Cyan.bin:		The art for the screen that says "created in 68000 assembler by Cyan Helkaraxe".
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; - palette\Pal1_Default.bin:	The default palette (being shown before "it" happens, in other words, where
;				 Sonic and Tails are doing their victory poses).
; - palette\Pal2_Crushing.bin:	Where "it" finally happens.
; - palette\Pal3_FadeOut.bin:	A palette that has to do with the fade out, however, only for the part Knuckles
;				 and Eggman are getting faded out.
; - palette\Pal4_Cyan1.bin:	If you look close at Cyan's screen, you will notice it's flashing a little bit.
;				 This is palette 1.
; - palette\Pal5_Cyan2.bin:	And this is palette 2. The palette is jumping between these two.
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; - sound\Sound1_Ting.bin:	The sound that's playing when Sonic looks up.
; - sound\Sound2_Crushing.bin:	You could also say "Sound2_TailsBeingCrushedByABig3.bin". =P

; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; So that's it so far. There's no other data that could be split, unless I will go the SVN way (splitting
; subroutines into separate files, but that would be stupid, since this ROM is really small).
