Mach Rider (JU)
Status
Pass 1. The project builds and verifies byte-identical to the
original ROM. prg.s is a traced disassembly classifying bytes as
reachable code or data, with every instruction carrying a trailing
audit comment. Unreached bytes remain as explicit .byte blocks; no
ROM byte is deleted or reformatted.
make assembles header.s, prg.s, chr.s, links them with ld65 and compares the
result against rom.nes:
Byte-identical ROM verified.

Header notes
- header byte 6 bit 3 (four-screen VRAM) is set
Open work
- Pass 1 - run
nesdis.pyoverprg.binto produce the code/data split. The tracer reads the vectors from the last six bytes of the PRG image, so the split seeds correctly. - Pass 1 must emit the canonical audit comment
; CPU:$C123 PRG:0123 AD 21 03at column 35 for every instruction. - Pass 2 - replace the address-derived
Label_XXXXnames and the raw$XXXXcall operands. - Pass 3 - semantic zero-page aliases (applied only at the sites where their role is proven) and named data tables.
- Promotion to
NROM/<name>/once Pass 3 is done, asgit mv.
