SuperDuperMetroid 2.3.3

A Super Metroid patching utility

NOTE: This project has no relation to the romhack of the same name.

Super-Duper-Metroid

Super Duper Metroid is a Super Metroid patcher and interface program, intended for use with randomizer programs. SDM is a work in progress, and is likely very broken in its current state. SDM requires an installation of Python 3 to work, although I haven't done any testing to determine which versions precisely work, and requires a Headerless ROM file to modify. Remember that video game piracy is a crime - only use legally obtained copies of the game Super Metroid with this program. Has been tested for NTSC.

Building

Requires an adequate version of python
Steps:

1. Clone this repository
2. Open a terminal in the repository's root
3. Create a virtual environment by running python -m venv venv
4. Activate the virtual environment with call venv/bin/activate on Windows or source venv/bin/activate on Unix-based systems
5. Install requirements by running python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
6. Install as editable by running python -m pip install -e .

You can now run scripts from the project from terminal, using the virtual environment. Or run python -m Super-Duper-Metroid to patch the game via a CLI interface.
