Changes

In addition to what was required for the game to run on the Mega Duck hardware, the following changes were also made:

• Minor MegaDuck text changes ;)

Emulators

If an emulator is used to run the patched game then keep in mind that (at present) all known emulators for the Mega Duck do not emulate the audio hardware correctly and music will not sound right.

Tools Used

• Emulicious emulator (dissasembling, debugging)
• Super Junior SameDuck emulator (testing, development)
• RGBDS (assembler)
• MegaDuck.dev (MegaDuck technical docs)
• ImHex (hex editor, rummaging through the binary)
