Original Combat Disassembly — Is it available?

[Brian O]

I'm looking for the original Combat disassembly done by Harry Dodgson. I cannot use the definitive disassembly, since it has way too many comment notes.

 

Does this original disassembly exist? If so, anyone know where I can find it?

 

Thanks in advance,

B

That sentence makes no sense to me. What's wrong with the comments???

Phase 1: Erase comments

Phase 2: ???

Phase 3: PROFIT

I could erase the comments, but its a pain. And I don't want to run the risk of accidentally removing code.

 

If I need to go that route I will, but if a less-commented version is available I'd prefer to use that.

 

Thanks

I still don't understand why you want to get rid of the comments?

 

The disassembly was done from scratch and so are the comments. If you remove the comments, you don't get an original or so.

Why don't you just disassemble the ROM yourself with DiStella?

[Nukey Shay]

That's what I'd do. Really well-commented disassemblies can sometimes cause distractions IMO, and I tend to lose focus on specific goals.

 

Raw disassemblies are also useful to try to locate memory to save. Such as merging/sharing data table strings - not really possible if you are only seeing equates and constants rather than their true hex or binary values.

Use sed.

 

Something like sed -e "/^;.*/d;s/;.*//" < in.asm > out.asm

Thanks, Tjoppen!

 

Thomas/Nukey — This is for a design project, not a technical project, so the comments are not necessary. The less characters in the code the better.

 

Thanks for all your help/input!
