ROM Hacking 202 - Reverse engineering with the debugger
Game Specific
TitleROM Hacking 202 - Reverse engineering with the debugger
Description
This is a continuation of Bunkai's intro ROM hacking series using Kikansha Thomas - Friends of Sodor. In this tutorial we explore using BGB's debugger and VRAM tools to find the graphics decompression algorithm and reverse engineer it.

This tutorial assumes no prior ROM hacking experience, but you will benefit from reading Bunkai's tutorials and abridgewater's differential analysis of this algorithm first. Having some knowledge of programming, particularly concepts like variables, loops, and pointers, will make a world of difference in understanding this tutorial as well as being able to reverse engineer at all.

You can find Bunkai's tutorial series at:
