Magmax (U)

Status

Pass 3 complete; promoted. prg.s is a traced disassembly with all address-derived labels replaced, all jsr/jmp operands symbolic, hardware registers named via symbols.inc, and apply_symbols.py reporting 0 residue. Code coverage: 11,613 / 32,768 bytes (35.4%). make assembles and verifies byte-identical to rom.nes.
