   I need to build some kind of framework to better organize my "search every single binary of every single program every released for this platform" projects.

   I started it for Wii and need to do it with DOS games. (and early (<2000) windows games, which will be WAY HARDER)

     all these pirates being like "I have every SNES rom!" and I'm like AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THEM? PLAYING THEM? BORING. LEARN TO REVERSE ENGINEER THEM AT SCALE

     the main things I wanna find:
     leftover debug symbols
     evidence of shared engines (like brender)

     @foone Assuming this is related to Death Generator: this is going to become hell the minute you hit Japanese games and have to figure out which encoding method, if any, they've decided on this time.

     @Video_Game_King it's not! this is just general reverse engineering/software archaeology/necromancy.

     @Video_Game_King I have had to do quite a few japanese games for the death generator: they are indeed great at coming up with weird terrible encoding schemes
