DragonByteZ

DragonByteZ is a reverse-engineering tool currently compatible for the following Game Boy Advance Webfoot Dragon Ball Z games:

• Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku Europe Rev 0 (ALGP)
• Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II Europe Rev 0 (ALFP)
• Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II USA Rev 0 (ALFE)

Build

Windows

Run build_windows.bat from the project folder or a Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt:

build-windows\Release\DragonByteZ.exe
build-windows\Release\dragonbytez-cli.exe

DragonByteZ source is compiled with /W4 /WX /permissive- /utf-8. Third-party GBA-engine warnings are isolated from the project's warning-as-error policy.

Linux command-line build

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

CLI

./dragonbytez-cli header game.gba
./dragonbytez-cli analyze game.gba -o analysis
./dragonbytez-cli graphics game.gba -o graphics
./dragonbytez-cli soundtrack game.gba -o soundtrack
./dragonbytez-cli decompress game.gba 0x69C570 -o output.bin

The explicit decompress command can still write a user-requested raw file. The normal game analysis and soundtrack workflows do not emit BIN files.

DragonByteZ does not contain or redistribute ROM data.
