Below is a link to a disassembly of each bank of the Metroid ROM. The disassembly was started by SnowBro, expanded upon greatly by Dirty McDingus, and may include additional comments added by MetConsters. The code has been tested with some assemblers and shown to properly round-trip (i.e. produce a ROM image identical to the original). Each bank should be assembled separately and then put together in order to produce the final ROM image. The comments of the disassembly recommend using the assem…

This page lists various asm hacks that can be applied to the game. Larger code listings should be placed on their own page. Notes These hacks are from various sources and may be intended for different assemblers or for different configurations of an assembler. If you use the patch, please give credit to the author!
