Intro

I remember playing pokemon and kingdom hearts on my NDS and remember staring at that tiny icon every-time I start the console.

I thought to myself, I wonder can I extract these icons and save them. They could make for a cool ascetic for a profile picture.

Tech Overview

Website is a simple react site.

The icon is extracted by reading the ROM memory location of the icon bitmap which is defined at address ROM[0x68] + 0x20 and 0x200 in length.
