There is also a stagetable.txt in the repository root which includes multiplayer stages.
## Installation Requirements
* make
* mips build tools (Debian/Ubuntu: binutils-mips-linux-gnu, Arch: mips64-elf-binutils from AUR)
* Python 3
## Extracting the base ROM
Before you do anything you need an existing ROM to extract assets from.
1. Save your existing ROM file into the root of the repository with the name `pd.ntsc-final.z64`. It should not be byteswapped (the first four bytes should be `0x80371240`).
2. Run `make extract`. This will create an `extracted/ntsc-final` directory containing assets from your ROM.
## Compiling
The project can do the following:
* Build individual ucode binaries (boot, library, setup, rarezip and game) which match the ones extracted from the base ROM.
* Build a functioning ROM by splicing your stage setup and lang files into an existing ROM.
The project does NOT build a full ROM using the C code yet.
* Run `make` to build the individual ucode binaries. These files will be written to `build/ntsc-final`.
* Run `make rom` to build a ROM from the stage setup and lang files. The ROM will be written to `build/ntsc-final/pd.z64`.
## How do I know the built files are matching?
Run `make` followed by `make test`. If `make test` produces no output then everything is matching.
