Z80 Disassembler !!better!! -

To understand a Z80 binary—whether to reverse-engineer a classic game, patch a ROM, or debug vintage firmware—you need a disassembler. But a disassembler is not merely a "binary-to-text" converter. It is a lens through which we reconstruct intent, control flow, and data structures from raw machine code.
