Hello everybody,

I've started to write my own ROMs disassembler, how does it work now:
I start at offset 0x0100 of ROM image and try to interpret content according to [2]. I don't emulate processor (except bank switching), only follow control instructions (CALL, JP, JR, RST) when needed. When the control instruction is unconditional (JP a16, JR r8 etc.) I follow the specified address, when it is conditional I follow both addresses (e.g. CALL NZ,a16, I follow the a16 and then return to pc+3 address). There is only one control instruction, that parameter address can change dynamically - JP (HL), all other control instructions have fixed address (I ignore this instruction, haven't seen it being used yet).

It works with ROMs from [1], but when trying to disassemble something a little bit more complex like Dr.Mario (32KB Cart, ROM Only), I think the output is incorrect (e.g. in one place I have jump which address seems incorrect to me - JP C,$8F04).

I have some concerns:
1. RST instruction, I skip this instruction (pc += 1), if I understand correctly it is some kind of internal "function" call. Is this OK?
2. Address translation, at the beginning I want to be able to interpret 2 kinds of ROMs:
- ROM only - address is mapped directly to offset in ROM image (0x0000 - 0x7FFF).
- MBC1 - adresses 0x0000-0x3FFF are mapped directly to offset in ROM, adresses 0x4000-0x7FFF are mapped to (bank*0x4000)+addr in ROM image. Is this OK?
3. Are there any "original" ROMs dis-assemblies I can test on? I have found only Pokemon, but it's to complex to be analyzed. I'm looking for something simpler, preferably 32KB ROM or MBC1.

"- MBC1 - adresses 0x0000-0x3FFF are mapped directly to offset in ROM, adresses 0x4000-0x7FFF are mapped to (bank*0x4000)+addr in ROM image. Is this OK?
3. Are there any "original" ROMs dis-assemblies I can test on? I have found only Pokemon, but it's to complex to be analyzed. I'm looking for something simpler, preferably 32KB ROM or MBC1."

Your 2nd question seems right. If an address is in bank 02, at location 4000, an appropriate term would be "02:4000" or "02x4000" as you have.

Your 3rd question.... I think the best and easiest way would be to create a simple test rom with ASM, then disassemble that ROM. This would allow you to add increasing complexity to see how your program handles disassembling it. I'd recommend against disassembling GBDK games though, as I've disassembled my own GBDK creation and found all kinds of junk code. You could probably find some homebrew made in ASM with the source available to compare to.

2. For example in Super Mario Land I have:

Code:

[0x0000020D] 0x3E 0x03      LD A,$03
[0x0000020F] 0xEA 0x00 0x20 LD ($2000),A

This means change to memory bank 3.
edit: rephrasing the question
PC (Program Counter) and call/jump addresses
0x0000-0x3FFF -> physically still mapped to 0x0000-0x3FFF
0x4000-0x7FFF -> physically remapped to 0xC000-0xFFFF, am I right?

3. As I said before, I've already disassembled some home-brew games correctly, but I am looking for something "original".

The additional banks are always in #x4000-7FFF.
So 0x4000, 1x4000, 2x4000, 3x4000, etc.
$C000 is WRAM then you're going up into hardware registers. So pretty sure that's not it.

Sorry, I didn't see anything in your post about that you've already tried disassembling homebrew.

That's a novel, but incorrect way of writing the addresses. 0x is the hexadecimal prefix in C and related languages, and there's no such notation as 1x, 2x etc for different banks. no$gmb and later BGB are using a colon notation, like 01:4000.

Duo · 2013-02-20 12:22:38

I think you'll be better off thinking about the ROM in terms of banks rather than a linear chunk.

0x4000 x (in SML case) 4 banks

00:0000-3FFF on GB - 0000-3FFF in file
01:4000-7FFF on GB - 4000-7FFF in file
02:4000-7FFF on GB - 8000-BFFF in file
03:4000-7FFF on GB - C000-FFFF in file

etc for larger ROM images.

The hard part in a disassembler is that knowing which ROM bank a CALL is going to in isn't always clear from the routines, as the bank switch may be done in a prior routine. There are quite a few games that have JP XXXX at 0x4000, 0x4003, 0x4006 etc that point to code elsewhere in the bank, but every bank has those JPs at the beginning, so you end up with a CALL 0x4000 that can be valid in a dozen banks, and a single CALL 0x4000 in Bank 0 that is used for calling routines in many different banks.

For your disassembler to be useful, it should maintain a database of references that can be manually tagged to specific banks, or have the user manually enter it into a comment field for that particular opcode line.

At the moment I can't even disassemble correctly Tetris so I will think about banks switching later
I use Testris ROM (MD5: 982ed5d2b12a0377eb14bcdc4123744e) and as reference the BGB emulator (it has an option to dump the asm code). It's a 32KB ROM without any MBC. My disassembly starts failing at instruction:
[0x000002A0] 0xCD 0x95 0x27 CALL,$2795
Disassembly after following the call is totally different than that produced by BGB. Before everything is OK.

I've put the results of my battle against the GameBoy on github:
https://github.com/mmuszkow/gb-disasm
Code is written in pure C, big part of it is auto-generated. Binary of Windows version is not up to date (I have only access to Linux right now), I will update it tomorrow.

Testris disassembly:

There's also a commercial release that has its source code available: Mr. Doh!
That might be a good one to compare to since, in theory, the ROM should match the source.

paulc · 2013-02-24 23:18:26

will this program be able to recognize the difference between code and data?

mjm · 2013-02-25 03:54:38

Yes, now by default it only prints code and with -a option whole assembly (however printing data content is not yet implemented).

Mr.Do! assembly was very useful to see how original games were written, thanks! Unfortunately it seems that ROM doesn't exactly match the source. I tried to convert the assembly to format acceptable by rgbasm to create ROM from that code, but gave up (rgbasm doesn't support for example ds 10, $A0 instruction).
