Why are there two folders?
**************************
Pokemon Prism can be roughly separated into two forms: binary and disassembly.

Please see the Readme file inside each folder for details about their contents.

Binary - The original releases of Prism mostly solo-developed by Koolboyman. These
used tools and hex editors to modify an already-compiled version of Pokemon Gold &
Crystal.

Disassembly - Thanks to the efforts of pret, Pokemon Crystal was reverse-engineered
and multiple developers could work on the source code at the same time. Prism was
ported to this engine around 2016 so that TPPDevs of Twitch Plays Pokemon could
collaborate on the project in order to finish it. The source code is also included
in these releases. In 2017, a new group called RainbowDevs picked up the project.

Prism's own flavour of Pokemon Crystal engine is known as "Kaleidoscope".

In layman's terms, disassembly is like writing the instructions on how to bake
a cake - you change the instructions, the cake that is baked will be different.
Working in binary is like trying to change the cake AFTER it's been baked. Doable,
but way more arduous!
