Even though I had actually planned to complete my disassembly of Faxanadu before releasing any files I don't have a lot of time in the next 6 - 8 weeks. Therefore I decided to release all stuff right now, maybe someone else finds it useful.

Click here to get the files

Files in the archive:
*.html - HTML disassembly of important ROM banks
*.bin - IDA Pro databases
*.nl - Name list files for FCEUXD SP
idc\*.idc - Various IDC scripts used while disassembling the Faxanadu ROM file
memmap.txt - Notes about the RAM section of Faxanadu; Use only in combination with the newer initram.idc

Especially interesting (code-wise) are the banks 5 (Sound), 11 (Sprites per Screen tables), 12 (NPC dialogs), 13 (NPC text strings), 14 (Collision detection; I was able to give names to 218 of 247 functions in this bank) and 15 (Last bank; lots of important stuff; I got 110 of 252 functions named).

Alright! When I saw that you were doing Faxanadu, I was surprised to see someone else mess with it. The only information I found was a bunch of pallets and the offset for the title screen and the walking screen (here). Though, I don't think that many people still use the repository.

This should give me some insight on how to use the SP part of the FCEUXD.

Kind of off-topic:
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the level editor you plan on making once you finish figuring out this game. I never thought Faxanadu got enough attention. Heh, ever think of making it like the Japanese version where you can give your character a name?

I've seen your Faxanadu facelift over at the TEKHacks board btw. I liked it a lot, especially how you replaced the health and mana bars.

About my level editor. It's possible to edit rooms so far and I'm in the process of implementing edit functions for sprites. However I consider it frozen for the next 6 - 8 weeks for the same reason I need to take a break from completing my Faxanadu disassembly. I thought about releasing the source prematurely but I don't think it's in a presentable state yet.
