## Installation Requirements
* make
* mips build tools (Debian/Ubuntu: binutils-mips-linux-gnu, Arch: mips64-elf-binutils from AUR)
* Python 3
* pigz - a zlib compression tool
## 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, inflate and game) which match the ones extracted from the base ROM.
* Build a functioning ROM by splicing the C source and assets into an existing ROM. The built ROM is not byte perfect yet, but is is functionally equivalent.
* Run `make` to build the assets that will be included in the ROM. These files will be written to `build/ntsc-final` and are matching what's in the `extracted/ntsc-final` folder.
* Run `make rom` to build the ROM. 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.
