Boot ROM disassembly

[ob1]

Hi you all.

I've been wandering round the 32X bios and am now wondering :

Has anyone already try to disassembly the Saturn BIOS ? Do we know what it does ? I guess we gonne see the load IP here, some CD access maybe, but ... what else (&copyright; George Clooney)

I think that CyberWarriorX or Guillaume made a document about the different bios functions and their location ...

You can also learn a lot from the SDK header files 😉

The more I get in Saturn dev, the more I realize that I gonna have to dive deeply into this C thing : oooooh SDK .....

I've always wanted to do ASM-only thing ...

"No pain, no gain", I guess.

A dissasembled bios file by itself won't be that useful I think ... you'll learn a lot more following a running disassembler (built-in in most of the emulators), and having the tech docs handy 😉

That shouldn't prevent you from using all available information sources, though.
