ROM PORTING GUIDE

I used this guide here === YOUTUBE LINK

Most of the tools needed are in this post

Always use a rom to port as close to a stock rom as possible [cpu matches cpu . . . ram matches ram . . . etc).

If you want a different rom I can port it for you if you want too test it.

ANY PROBLEMS I AM HAPPY TO HELP.
