romreader

An extensible reader of ROM formats in portable CL.

Install

You are strongly encouraged to use this library via Quicklisp. Simply start your lisp and run: (ql:quickload 'romreader).

Getting Started

If you're reading this, you're probably interested in parsing ROMs using Lisp. There are 3 things you can do with romreader: parse a rom it supports, teach it how to parse a new format, and access parts of a loaded rom.

  • Parsing a supported format is as easy as calling (load-rom "path/to/my/rom.format").
  • Teaching romreader to parse a new rom is done using defreader. For an example, see the NES reader.
  • Accessing slots of a rom instance is done with rom-metadata, rom-binary, and rom-format.

Thus far, I have been using a plist to store metadata and a vector to store the binary but feel free to use your own representations. rom-binary and rom-metadata don't care. :)
