- WARNING! -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ROM this repository builds while it has a matching checksum cannot be 'shifted' due
|
|
|
|
|
to hardcoded pointers which have yet to be dumped. Thus this repository is currently
|
|
|
|
|
in an early research/development phase and cannot currently be used traditionally as a
|
|
|
|
|
source code base for general changes. It also cannot be run in an emulator or on console
|
|
|
|
|
due to the dongleCheck copy protection code.

# Contributing:

|
PRs are welcome, but please make sure your code can compile to a matching ROM succesfully.
|
|
|
|
|
(you'll know if it does because the terminal will read ``build/dino.z64: OK`` if the resulting ROM matches) before submitting.
