# Chronologia Technical notes and supporting artifacts from a demoscene reverse-engineering scratch project. ## Contents - `trug-mini-intro-analysis.md` - Trug's 1991 Mini Intro: independently checked two-amplitude sine-dot renderer, selective erase history, thirteen controller records, growth-only target behaviour, 319-byte glyph injection, 322-byte diagonal word-copy progression, segment wraparound, and 4,923-update text loop. Verified 1,280 dot cases and 8,000 main updates against recovered instructions. One direct five-second GIF and one full-frame still under `images/trug-mini-intro-runtime-*` accompany a 245-second silent capture with keyboard exit. Last edited 2026-09-17; the GPT-6/Astra revision is attributed separately from the earlier sol high work. New or materially revised analysis files identify the model used for that analysis or revision: ```text Analysis model: Last edited: YYYY-MM-DD ``` The value comes from the active session or runtime and must not be copied from an older article or template. If it cannot be verified, the file says `Analysis model: not recorded`. Existing untouched analyses retain their historical metadata. If the user reports a model selection that is not exposed by the runtime, record it as user-reported attribution rather than verified runtime identity. Do not guess a reasoning level. The current review's user-reported selection is `GPT-6 Astra`; preserve the original analysis-model credits separately. Use the UTC calendar date of the material revision for `Last edited`. Add or update it whenever an analysis changes materially so the age of its technical pass is visible without consulting Git history. Project quality guidance lives in [`analysis-quality-notes.md`](analysis-quality-notes.md). It records the current evidence bar, media policy, preflight command, and hosting boundary. ## Runtime Capture Strategy When an analysis needs visual backfill, capture the full demo run and normally add one `Runtime Capture` section to the analysis. That section should document the emulator/version, date, configuration, timing zero point, and whether timestamps are capture stream timestamps or in-demo cues. Split or relocate the runtime material when the demo or evidence clearly reads better another way. The installed DOSBox-X build has no warning-only or `--no-warnings` switch. For non-visual automated diagnostics, its built-in `-silent` switch plus stdout/stderr redirection to an ignored `.codex/tmp/` log suppresses routine console chatter. In this build `-silent` also selects dummy video, so do not use it for a run that must be seen or captured: launch normally and redirect both output streams to the ignored log instead. Keep that log for failed runs, but do not stream routine SDL, XKB, EGL, keyboard-layout, or code-page warnings into the working console. Use dummy host audio as described below. Choose representative frames from the whole run rather than only the first successful screen: title/setup moments, major effect changes, distinctive objects/scenes, and late-run states that help someone remember what the demo looked like. Captions should include exact timestamps and enough visual context to connect the screenshots back to the technical analysis. Current scope focus: review mid-1990s classics, starting with Dope and Cyboman, then other productions of that era, including Orange. Treat the existing analyses as strong work to verify against binaries and runtime evidence; change claims only when the evidence warrants it. Vector Balls is not a priority beyond completing confirmed fixes. Earlier 1990/1991 productions remain useful material, but no longer define the active queue. Lead with how the recovered effect works and how its authored controls produce the visible changes. Keep verification counts and provenance notes subordinate to that explanation; an isolated kernel test is not an end-to-end analysis. Prefer a materially deeper pass over an existing article to a shallow new catalogue entry; add a new production when its binary and runtime evidence support the same code-first depth. The user also requests a small selection of the strongest Amiga classics, starting with Desert Dream; prioritize deep review rather than broad Amiga catalogue expansion. Use Pouet, Demozoo, and Scene.org as the normal source chain: Pouet for candidate selection and public context, Demozoo for structured metadata/credits/results, and Scene.org/archive mirrors for the actual release files when available. Enough cracktros for now; do not add more cracktro passes unless explicitly requested. Use short GIFs when the important evidence is temporal rather than static. Good candidates include tunnel fly-throughs, palette or color-cycle loops, wipes/collapses, bouncing or rotating objects, scrollers, and keyed interactive gates. The site should not rely on visitors clicking separate video links to understand a demo: put the useful motion or still evidence inline in the article and, when useful, on the front-page card. Do not make animation a quota item: if still frames explain the code path better, use still frames and say why. Real runtime/video-derived animation is preferred when it is available and technically relevant; keep its native or technically appropriate cadence, including high frame rates for intricate motion. Public screenshot-sequence GIFs assembled from unrelated stills are allowed as lively overview/index material, but those should be paced slowly, about one frame per second, so they read as evidence slides rather than fake motion. Non-H.264 silent clips are acceptable only when GIF is genuinely a bad fit. Do not add new H.264 encodes unless explicitly requested; existing published media remains site content and should not be removed just for codec cleanup. Audio policy: music and other demo audio are opt-in only. Do not make demo audio audible during analysis, emulation, capture, preview, or verification unless the user explicitly asks for it. If emulated audio hardware is needed as an internal timing source, keep host output dummy/muted while preserving the guest timing path. Published page media should remain silent unless explicitly requested. Preview policy: diagnostic contact sheets, timestamp atlases, and other multi-frame proof sheets are useful internal evidence, but front-page previews must be one untiled still or one continuous animation. If a preview appears multiplied while the main view is correct, treat the preview as wrong and do not publish it until it has been checked separately. Keep screenshot hashes out of rendered analysis pages. Store the images under `images/`, list the asset family in this README when useful, and rely on the site-wide click-to-zoom viewer for full-window inspection of small old-school frames. Workflow note: after finishing and deploying one coherent analysis pass, keep going to the next suitable target in the same priority thread instead of stopping arbitrarily. If the user interrupts with comments or corrections, incorporate the direction and then continue the active queue unless they explicitly say to pause or stop. Pause only for a real blocker, conflicting local changes, or an explicit user stop. Parallel-analysis note: the user permits subagents whenever they materially help a demo pass. Split independent questions such as renderer loops, player or IRQ code, segment lifecycle, and media concordance; keep delegated work read-only unless a disjoint edit is explicitly useful. The primary analysis must reconcile contradictory findings against the binary before publication, especially when a parser result controls screenshot attribution. Inner-loop depth note: the original purpose of this project is to recover the frame loop, not merely name an effect. For each major renderer, record exact loop bounds, record strides, fixed-point formats, table roles, clipping or culling, projection, sorting, rasterization/blitting, buffer/page cadence, hardware ports, and old-frame cleanup where the binary permits it. Vector-ball and vector-object passes need particular care: separate orthographic from perspective projection, pre-shifted sprites from generated circles, point sort from face sort, line walking from span filling, and selective restoration from whole-page clearing. Put normalized pseudocode beside the relevant offsets. Do not analyze only the headline draw loop: recover the supporting setup, transform, sort, clip, draw, cleanup, and presentation loops, including their shared state and hand-off points. When an older article stops at a visual label or broad architectural summary, prefer revisiting it until this complete frame path is explained. Correction passes must preserve or increase this mechanism-level depth. VGA feedback note: a guest-RAM dump's physical A0000 region may not be the emulator's video backing store. Verify the actual backing layout before calling those bytes captured history. Keep an original-kernel prediction from supplied pixels distinct from an observed complete-frame RGB match. Non-blocking issue note: if something looks wrong but does not block the current demo pass, make a concise note in the relevant work log or README and continue to another suitable demo. Do not stop just to ask unless continuing would risk corrupting existing work, publishing misleading media, or overwriting unrelated local changes. Update timestamp note: every demo card touched by a new analysis pass should get a machine-readable `data-updated` timestamp, and every visible update/work log entry should use an exact local timestamp with timezone. This keeps the front page sortable/groupable by most recent work later, instead of relying on file order or vague date text. Group tag note: when the production has an obvious group or artist attribution, add a machine-readable `data-groups` attribute to the touched front-page card using stable lowercase tokens separated by spaces. Examples: `data-groups="cubic-team seen"` or `data-groups="orange"`. Do this alongside `data-updated` so group filtering/sorting can be added later without re-reading every card. Release year note: every front-page card must also carry a machine-readable `data-year` attribute. Use the four-digit production release year rather than an archive-upload or later re-release year. A space-separated pair is allowed only when the analysis documents a genuine unresolved date conflict, for example `data-year="1989 1990"`. Front-page filter note: typed filtering matches identity fields: visible title, `data-groups`, URL slug words, and `data-year`. Descriptive prose is not indexed, which keeps incidental technical terms from producing noisy results. The year combobox is populated from `data-year` and combines with the typed filter, so a year works even when the visible description abbreviates it as `TG95` or omits it entirely. Lesson from the Dragnet and Fistro passes: for one-static-scene or near-static productions, do not force a fake tour of effects. Use one clean full-frame reference, deliberate detail crops, and timestamped frames only where the text, foreground objects, palette, or scroller actually changes. State plainly when those frames come from public video or screenshot references rather than local emulator capture. Quality bar note: use `sea-robot-of-love-analysis.md` as a good current model for the balance of depth and media. Live reference: https://demo2.jeskola.net/sea-robot-of-love-analysis.html . The technical analysis should carry the piece; screenshots, GIFs, and cards should make the argument easier to follow and more inviting, not replace the code/runtime reasoning. Code-to-commentary rule for future demo analyses: target at least 80% concrete code work and at most 20% contextual or visual commentary in the main technical body. Concrete code work means quoted and annotated disassembly, reconstructed C or precise pseudocode, data structures, addresses, constants, control flow, and instruction-by-instruction inner-loop analysis. Offset lists, archive inventories, screenshots, and prose claims about what code does do not count as code. Put the relevant instructions or reconstruction next to each conclusion. If the executable cannot be recovered or unpacked far enough to meet this bar, state that boundary explicitly instead of padding the article with visual prose. Primary editorial objective, especially for early 1990/1991 demos: reconstruct the actual frame machinery, not merely the name or appearance of an effect. A deep pass should follow setup into the steady-state inner loops and document the handoffs between table or object update, transform, ordering, clipping or phase handling, draw, erase/background repair, hardware timing, and presentation. Treat that end-to-end inner-loop account as the normal stopping criterion for an analysis pass: identifying an effect, naming its helper, or matching a screenshot is useful evidence, but is not by itself a finished dissection. For every major visible effect, the article should answer what one complete steady-state iteration reads, changes, draws, restores, waits for, and presents, with exact bounds and data hand-offs wherever the recovered binary permits it. The inner-loop acceptance test is concrete: identify the entry conditions and active buffers; recover the state-record layout and units; name every nested loop with its iteration count, pointer stride, and important branch; calculate common-path and conditional read/write or plot counts where they clarify the work; follow intermediate data into the next routine; and close the lifecycle through clipping, erase or background repair, retrace/timer gating, page or buffer selection, and the final visible presentation. Distinguish measured runtime behavior, instruction-backed conclusions, and bounded inference. If a binary prevents one of these recoveries, state the exact missing boundary instead of silently replacing it with effect-level commentary. For vector balls and other vector objects, recover the object/point records, coordinate and rotation arithmetic, projection and depth policy, visible-size or shade selection, plot/blit kernel, clipping bounds, and old-pixel cleanup where the binary permits it. Prefer making an existing early article reach this standard before adding another shallow catalogue entry. Visual-ownership check: before describing a visible object as a live renderer, prove whether its pixels come from object records, generated geometry, a packed full-frame sequence, a static plane, or a separately composited overlay. Tie every article image and front-page preview to that exact ownership boundary; do not use a visually similar frame as evidence for a different inner loop. Future analysis standard, derived from the stronger deep-dive passes: do not stop at archive inventory, screenshots, or visual commentary. A proper demo analysis should normally include these layers, in the order that best fits the production: - Scope and artifact proof: exact production identity, archive/source URLs, hashes, extracted files, variant conflicts, release/result metadata, and a clear boundary for omitted old personal contact details. - Runtime evidence: emulator/version/config, capture date, timing zero point, full-run or bounded-run result, exact timestamps for representative states, and explicit labeling of DOSBox capture versus public-video/public-screenshot evidence. - Loader/runtime shape: packer or shell format, decompressed/restored payload boundary, PMODE/DPMI/VCPI or real-mode model, required files, music/player path, memory requirements, and startup/exit behavior. - Function map: raw offsets or restored virtual addresses for the top-level dispatcher, allocator, timer/player callbacks, video-mode setup, file/resource loaders, palette/DAC paths, frame copy path, and each major visual part. If the binary is protected-mode LE/PMODE/W, extract/map the objects before describing code. - Inner-loop analysis: for every major effect, identify the actual mechanism where practical: buffer sizes, row/offset tables, fixed-point math, sine or phase variables, projection records, span/line plotters, palette blending, texture/address generation, clipping, retrace/timer pacing, and final `A000h`/framebuffer copy. - Visual interleaving: place screenshots/GIFs near the code paths they prove. Captions should say what mechanism the frame demonstrates, not merely what it looks like. - Inference discipline: distinguish "proved by disassembly", "proved by runtime capture", "proved by decoded resource", and "inferred from visible behavior plus binary evidence". Do not present effect guesses as recovered functions. - Front-page/card polish comes last: animated previews are useful when they explain motion, but a card update is not a substitute for the article-level function and runtime analysis. When a pass has visuals and resource notes but no function-level or mechanism-level evidence, treat it as incomplete and return to the binary before moving on. Runtime-backed completion gate: do not call a demo pass complete merely because its card has a GIF or its article has a static disassembly. Unless a direct run is genuinely impossible and the failure boundary is documented, the public article should include direct silent runtime evidence from the exact release, a timed authored-route account, runtime-to-code concordance, and an observed exit or explicit held/failed boundary. Prefer stills, GIFs, or non-H.264 silent clips for new media. Keep tiled/contact-sheet material diagnostic-only; the public preview is one untiled frame or one continuous animation. Verify both article and card at desktop and phone widths before deployment. Scope note: the backlog also includes very small intros, including 16-byte, 32-byte, 64-byte, and similar size-coded productions. These should be analyzed when they fit the active priority band, with quick byte-level code explanations instead of the larger-demo loader/resource structure. Animation restraint note: do not slide into adding GIFs everywhere. Add animation only when motion is technically explanatory or materially improves the analysis: palette cycling, tunnels, object rotation, feedback, scrollers, camera/floor motion, or staged transitions where stills hide the mechanism. Visually rich articles such as `sea-robot-of-love-analysis.md` can be fine without extra animation if the stills and analysis already carry the point. Sparse one-frame-per-second screenshot-sequence GIFs are useful as overview or index material when the source is just a set of stills. Do not impose that rate on real effect captures; use the timing that makes the actual animation legible.

A clean external DOSBox-X/Xvfb run verifies scene order; no generated diagram, screenshot atlas, or appearance-derived function attribution is published. - `4kflight-analysis.md` - 4K FLiGHT by Scoop analysis with a 2026-07-06 00:48 EEST runtime-to-code concordance tying the six-frame GIF/stills to the XOR text layer, row/sine/object generation, z-recycle loop, camera phases, transform/projection, object sort, triangle span filler, and OPL timer ISR. - `4kr-analysis.md` - 4K iNTRO by MLJ/Xenogenesis analysis. - `4-kings-orange-analysis.md` - 4 Kings by Orange: original parent/child PKLITE execution and exact module/child materialization at three load segments; six 24×24 inverse-rotated title cells, per-pixel arithmetic and phase generator. Verified 300 original iterations and eight controls, with a labelled cropped reconstruction GIF. The PRESENTS centre-out scanline stretch is separately verified over 240 iterations and twelve controls, with its own reconstruction. The pale logo's two-wave atlas sampler is also verified over 240 iterations and twelve controls. Eight creature rectangle transitions match 400 calls and 498,635 writes. First spiral generator verified over 360,000 points: circular address history and point counts replace the feedback hypothesis. Direct 65-second capture frame added; later effects/timing remain open.

The 2026-07-06 02:20 EEST pass added a real-hardware-to-code concordance tying the stills/GIF to the loader API, CRTC restarts, moire speedcode, composite 1024-colour text modes, self-modifying particles, beam-raced sprites, vectorballs, plasma, Kefrens lockstep, polygon write minimization, PC-speaker MOD VM, calibration assets, and hardware-vs-emulator evidence boundary. - `a-forest-software-loader-analysis.md` - A Forest Software Loader 1995 MS-DOS cracktro/software-loader analysis with Demozoo/Scene.org source identity, exact single-COM archive hashes, direct silent DOSBox-X capture, first-stage XOR decoder, decoded 386/VGA startup, mode-13h BIOS-font harvest, mode-0Dh planar starfield/text runtime, timer/OPL boundary, palette and projection/glyph queue map, and key-wait/restore exit path. - `abc-monday-night-football-cracktro-analysis.md` - ABC Monday Night Football Cracktro by International Network of Crackers 1989 text-mode TheDraw COM screen-save analysis with decoded B800h page and loader map. - `ace-demo-analysis.md` - Ace Demo by Ace analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames, a sparse runtime GIF, source-FLI contact sheet, and a 2026-07-06 01:53 EEST runtime-to-code concordance tying the installer boundary, mode-13h FLI playback, BRUN/LC decoders, tail loop-closing frame, DAC palette writes, retrace pacing, VOC repeat block, and CT-VOICE driver path to the visible frames. - `acidwarp-analysis.md` - Acid Warp / Acidwarp by Noah Spurrier analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a frame-derived formula/palette sequence GIF, and a detailed 3.22 integer formula/palette-cycle inner-loop dissection. The 2026-07-06 00:52 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the text startup, title blitter, palette-cycled title, generated formula fields, XOR/feedback families, shuffled pattern list, 320x200 generator loop, and DAC uploader to the published frames. - `after-burner-2-inc-analysis.md` - After Burner 2 by International Network of Crackers 14 October 1989 source-limited MS-DOS/EGA cracktro analysis with a public Demozoo frame redacted for old contact material, generated source-boundary map, 640x350 mode-10h geometry, planar framebuffer notes, solid-fill, masked-logo, vertical-strip, graphics-font, board-list, and wait/handoff loop candidates. - `a-year-of-agony-analysis.md` - A Year of Agony by Hypnosis analysis. - `airframe-analysis.md` - AirFrame by Prime analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a frame-derived runtime sequence GIF, and a 2026-07-06 00:39 EEST runtime-to-code concordance tying the text/title, terrain flight, transition, vector, structural fly-through, and final panel frames to the `07cc`, `0738`, `0076`, `03e6`, and `0249` code paths. - `again-orange-analysis.md` - Again by Orange September 1994 MS-DOS/GUS intro analysis with Scene.org archive hashes, exact public Pouet GIF still, PKLITE/UNP parent launcher, external 8-channel `INDEED.MOD`, dynamically written nested PKLITE `zoom.exe` child, DOS `EXEC` handoff, direct GUS-port selector code, and corrected launcher ordering. The September 19 revision identifies six altered child-unpacker bytes in UNP's parent output; original unpacker execution at three load addresses recovers identical child bytes and reaches the expanded graphics entry. The card zoom now matches 322 original frames, including all 129 scale values in both directions; seven stored text blocks match writes to both the screen and zoom source. Added a completed-card still and explicitly illustrative zoom GIF. The ending feedback matches 300 sequential iterations and two controls, preserving its repeated sample coordinate and integer carries between pixel bytes; an original-code GIF shows the result. Another 360 original iterations verify the intervening three-plane transfer stream, vertical wave displacement and reads beyond its stored bitmap block; its 65,000 wrap equality cannot fire for the third plane. The parent timer is now verified: PIT divisor 1,193, initial countdown 55, then 18 interrupts per shared-clock increment, nominally 55.564 counts/s. A fresh silent DOSBox-X capture now reaches every graphics section; the full first-card RGB image matches original code. Published a 135-second recording, native-rate planar excerpt and direct stills with approximate sequence times. With the preceding card buffer restored, 1,141 captured planar RGB frames match nearby original states; zeroing its tail removes 277 matches. A separate Escape test returns to DOS before a host shutdown failure. Exact planar presentation ordering remains open. A version-matched retrace-latch check shows why the planar write page is not an ordinary off-screen buffer: all three copies target the already latched page. A repeat capture confirms a brief ordering anomaly at a different position. - `and-i-symptom-analysis.md` - &i by sYmptom analysis with the original The Party 1994 archive, exact direct silent 4:47 runtime, split TMS/GUS player and visual program, six-channel module-driven timeline, complete seventeen- stream PAC inventory, recovered sparse skip/run frame grammar, 542 delimited animation frames, authored asset order, and seven continuous runtime GIFs. - `ages-happo-analysis.md` - Ages by Happo Assembly 1996 PC demo analysis with Pouet/Demozoo/Scene.org source identity, NFO contact-material boundary, direct 40.007817-second silent DOSBox-X opening MP4, outer MZ/overlay map, embedded PMODE/W 1.22 image at `0BD9A4h`, compressed object table, MIDAS/S3M/Sound Blaster/GUS path evidence kept silent, named PCX resource table, title/tunnel runtime stills, and a bounded runtime-to-resource concordance instead of a fake full renderer map. - `alley-cat-graffiti-analysis.md` - Alley Cat Graffiti by Software Pirates Inc. source-limited 1985 MS-DOS cracktro/title-page analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, generated layout map, and CGA full-page/footer-patch loop models, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `j-bird-graffiti-analysis.md` - J-Bird Graffiti by Software Pirates Inc. source-limited 1985 MS-DOS two-screen cracktro analysis with public Demozoo screenshots, contact sheet, reduced 320x200 logical frames, and generated layout map, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `amnesia-analysis.md` - Amnesia by Renaissance analysis with a sparse runtime GIF, DOSBox-X frames, clean-boot loader notes, protected-mode runtime analysis, Mode X helpers, palette timing, vectors, and entropy/pattern loops. The 2026-07-06 00:59 EEST pass added a bounded runtime-to-code concordance tying the two captured intro frames to the clean-boot/protected-mode entry, green line drawer, `03DAh`/tick vblank pacing, Mode X setup, planar copy helper, intro text area, and DAC fade/split-streaming helpers. Text-only pass; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `antibar-analysis.md` - Antibar by Mr. Fanatic of SMA Posse analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X scroller frames, a sparse runtime GIF, custom XOR/RLE/self-relocation unpacker notes, evolving key-table decrypt/check analysis, and a runtime GIF-to-code boundary tying the bottom-scroller frames to the repaired-child far handoff while keeping the exact child scroller loop as a deeper dump target. The 2026-07-06 14:17 EEST pass timestamped the front-page card; media files unchanged. - `anti-svd-untouchables-analysis.md` - Anti-svd by The Untouchables 1991 analysis with EXEPACK restoration, `tu.dat` loader and bitstream decoders, retrace-paced DAC fades, masked block compositors, sliding-window copies, and an unchained VGA/CRTC strip ring. The 2026-08-26 pass adds the complete direct 84.167657-second no-sound route, a clean opening still, later strip still and continuous forest animation, while omitting hostile period taunts and final telephone details. It also proves `CX=0A82h` is clobbered inside the strip renderer rather than acting as a countdown: the caller's unconditional back edge still requires the IRQ-9 Space mailbox. The captured route sends deterministic X11 Space events at host-run +62 and +80 seconds. The restored image now resolves all ten `tu.dat` seeks, both static carving tables, 16- and 32-pose masked-composition traffic, the 180-call window path, chained versus unchained CRTC units, and the 36.526-second full strip-ring period. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `anarchy-bbs-intro-analysis.md` - A New BBS Intro (Anarchy Boards) by Anarchy PC analysis with a public Pouet screenshot, packed MZ/depacker reconstruction, Borland restored runtime, GoldPlay/ProTracker tail, unchained VGA page setup, RLE picture uploaders, retrace-paced DAC fades, CRTC page flips, and planar span filler. The 2026-07-06 01:04 EEST pass added a bounded public-screenshot-to-code concordance tying the welcome screen to the restored show skeleton, VGA setup, RLE upload paths, palette helpers, draw/visible page helpers, and span filler. Text-only pass; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `apache-mcm-analysis.md` - Apache Cracktro by Miami Cracking Machine source-limited 8 July 1989 MS-DOS multi-renderer cracktro analysis with public Demozoo selector/title stills, a contact/release-note-redacted exit page, generated EGA/text pipeline map, shared selector shell notes, EGA mode-10h planar setup, blue background fill, stipple-mask pass, mirrored logo/lightning sprite blitters, central `C` and `Presents` text masks, and final text-page gate. The 2026-07-06 12:03 EEST pass added a bounded visual-to-code concordance tying each existing public-safe still and the generated flow map to the text selector, EGA mode-10h planar composition, mask/sprite/text blitters, redacted text exit page, and source-limited evidence boundary. Text-only pass; existing stills and map were not touched. - `arkanoid2-firm-analysis.md` - Arkanoid ][ - The Revenge of DoH by The FiRM July 1989 MS-DOS cracktro/loader analysis with public Demozoo greeting screenshot, generated relocated-payload map, 16 KiB COM copy loop, `INT 61h` private service, segment patches, DOS `09h` greeting path, memory resize and stack switch, path recovery, critical-error hook, option parser, hardware/config probes, and `REVOFDOH.DAT` `EXEC` handoff boundary. - `archon-graffiti-analysis.md` - Archon Graffiti by IPL source-limited 1984 MS-DOS cracktro/CGA page reconstruction with a front-page still card using the direct public/reconstructed images. - `archon-graffiti-duplicators-analysis.md` - Archon Graffiti by The Duplicators source-limited 1984 MS-DOS cracktro/title-page analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, and generated layout map, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `archon-graffiti-faked-analysis.md` - Archon Graffiti by faked public domain source-limited 1985 MS-DOS cracktro/title-page analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, generated layout map, and footer-strip comparison against the other Archon-derived frames, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `animate-analysis.md` - Animate by Schwartz analysis with a complete direct DOSBox-X/X11 release run, full-phase timeline, three continuous motion clips, and the retained internal-recorder still. The 2026-07-20 pass corrects the old one-frame concordance: the cyan generated field is the timer-driven first renderer, while the gold checker-field object is the later strip-derived mesh at `0x117e`. It also visually anchors the outward VGA smear and final direct `A000` mask/phase loop. - `assembler-instinct-analysis.md` - Assembler Instinct by Gollum analysis rebuilt around a complete direct GUS-clocked Part I run, a precisely bounded local Part II handoff failure, and full public-run evidence for Parts II and III. UNP recovery exposes the optional BBS command-tail gate, ordinary `/L` parser, `CHECK_IT_ALL` initialization, three module selections, four `AI010.DAT` DOS `EXEC` sites, and normal loop/exit gate. Published media include a safe direct loader report, direct Part I timeline and continuous slimescroller, plus a full-frame public-reference Part II timeline and continuous texture floor; all page assets are silent and contact-bearing frames are excluded. - `atmosphere-stone-arts-analysis.md` - Atmosphere by Stone Arts, the all-Norwegian 1993 OCS full demo, with a complete direct silent A500 run, six runtime GIFs, original DMS and custom-track layout, relocation-free single-hunk main payload, direct DMA/interrupt takeover and exact raster-coupled title timing. No audio or video file is published. - `atom-analysis.md` - Atom by Sorcerers analysis rebuilt around a keyed, silent DOSBox-X/X11 run rather than a passive effect loop. The run starts from DOS and schedules `A`, `M`, `Z`, and `S`; its retained capture ends on the effect, so the Ctrl-C/Esc shutdown is documented from static code rather than claimed as retained visual evidence. Its continuous full-raster GIF and four-state editorial sheet show the resulting live path changes, with their host-cursor overlay disclosed. The deep pass separates CS from the relocated `0568h` data segment and reconstructs the 256-word sine table, quarter-phase X/Y path, keyed radius and cycle counts, 32-slot/31-visible-pair dot ring, low-byte unclipped cell writer, edge formulas, 17-cell phrase reveal, three lane records and cue gates, rolling restore/zero sample feed, exact keyboard/DOR event table, draw/erase ownership, and 41-stage shutdown. Host output and all published assets are silent, contact-bearing text is excluded, and no Atom MP4 is retained or published. The 2026-08-25 player pass proves the shipped stream contains no `6Fh` zero-run markers, recovers the installer's skipped second byte and end-byte prefetch, fixes the full call to 87,192 output IRQs plus one completion IRQ (7.307603 seconds), and quantifies the 41-call drain at 9.366332 seconds with an 18.53-tick clock-repair shortfall. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `aurora-stellar-analysis.md` - Aurora by Stellar, the all-Finnish Scenario 1995 Amiga demo winner and authored two-day production, with six continuous silent public-reference GIFs, a bounded replacement-ROM launch failure, stock-A1200 scene and presentation analysis, and dissection of its 704-byte Titanics overlay loader, 5 KiB streaming buffer, private literal/backreference depacker, per-hunk memory allocation and relocation handoff.

The runtime pass interleaves those phases with the existing PKLITE/UNP, generated-map, cue scheduler, unrolled OR-compositor, self-patched triangle-span, 3D transform/sort, and warp-table analysis. - `axe-rage-mcm-analysis.md` - Axe of Rage Cracktro by Miami Cracking Machine source-limited 30 August 1989 MS-DOS multi-renderer cracktro analysis with public Demozoo selector/title stills, a board-list-redacted exit page, generated EGA/text pipeline map, shared selector shell notes, EGA mode-10h planar setup, blue/black terrain masks, yellow/white lightning line loop, multi-pass MCM logo masks, graphics text blits, and final text-page gate. - `back-to-basic-analysis.md` - Back to Basic by The Inferiors analysis rebuilt around a complete silent DOSBox-X route, a fifteen-frame direct runtime concordance, and a continuous BASIC smiley drawing/fade clip. The recovered launcher now maps both tracker-module loads, every child `EXEC`, its two BIOS-driven colored-text blocks, full-VGA clear, the real but tolerated missing `.013` attempt, second-module switch, and normal exit. Runtime also identifies the previously unnamed `.015` logo part and confirms `.022`'s final keyboard gate. Published media omit old contact details and one period slur present in archive text; host output and page assets remain silent. - `bad-street-brawler-analysis.md` - Bad Street Brawler by Bentley Sidwell Productions analysis with a decoded CGA page, DOSBox-X reveal contact sheet, generated copy-loop map, and front-page still previews kept separate because the artifacts have different dimensions. - `ball-mania-analysis.md` - Ball Mania by Sorcerers analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a sparse frame-derived runtime sequence GIF, Borland MZ/overlay notes, BTracker-like audio data, timer mixer paths, Sound Blaster/LPT output setup, mode-13h background copy, retrace-paced DAC strips, scroller damage-list restore, sorted sparse literal-span ball sprites, and a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing frames to those routines. The 2026-08-24 deep pass parses all fifteen 5x5-through-32x32 sprite frames and their clipped final sentinel, reconstructs the six structure-of-arrays records, exact reset generator and 15-comparison Y sort, and separates those staged falling sprites from the three-ball 80-point ellipse with Y-selected prescaled depth cues. It also records the exact restore/update/ sort/draw frame order. The 2026-08-25 workload follow-up closes the combined 240-frame period for all nine old/new sprite traversals, including exact VGA bytes, sparse-span calls, packet metadata reads, and the frame-14 guard sentinel. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. Existing media were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `banana-split-analysis.md` - Banana Split by Hitech analysis with a DOSBox-X/gdb memory-capture runtime-to-code concordance tying the decoded `8250h` runtime entry, `B800:0000` text target, mirrored reveal `83C1h` / `8406h`, random fill/clear `846Dh` / `849Fh`, strip copy `844Bh`, BIOS-font scroller `861Fh`, and HSC-driven side columns `832Ah`. The 2026-07-06 14:52 EEST pass was text-only; no media files were generated or altered. - `bandit-kings-cpc2001-analysis.md` - Bandit Kings of Ancient China by Corporation for Public Cybercasting 2001 8 November 1989 source-limited MS-DOS cracktro analysis with a public 640x496 Demozoo block-art card, generated source-boundary map, 8x16-cell / 80-column evidence, CP437-style title construction, plausible full-page copy, row-fragment, RLE-cell, ANSI, and bitmap-font renderer loops, and explicit blocked-binary boundary. - `bartslaw-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Bart's Law by UltraForce analysis with a DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet and front-page contact-sheet preview. The 2026-08-25 restored-code pass closes the former black-screen boundary: 16-bit segmented emulation recovers a 203,361-byte image and 56 relocations, and a private diagnostic MZ reaches the live title, briefing, and training level. The article now follows the exact 64 KB background copy, 13x13 cursor save/draw/restore path, three transparent target blitters, fixed 27x54 background repair, twelve-state/six-wave schedule, inclusive hit boxes, score and shot-bar updates, four-bank palette fade, and text-mode cleanup. Last edited 2026-08-25 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; the existing wrapper-only contact sheet was not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `bbs-a-holic-bbs2-analysis.md` - BBS-A-Holic BBS (2), a genuine 1991 MS-DOS BBStro attributed to The Humble Guys. The analysis covers a complete silent DOSBox-X run and normal return, the GRABBER 3.60 zero-relocation MZ, malformed 48-byte length boundary, embedded 25x80 mode-3 header, exact split-plane flag/RLE decoder, reconstructed character/attribute/screen hashes, one 4,000-byte `B800h` copy, timer/key/cleanup paths, and the lack of evidence for the previously claimed Lemmings-package association. - `battlezone-graffiti-analysis.md` - Battlezone Graffiti by Software Pirates Inc. source-limited 1986 MS-DOS cracktro/title-menu analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, exact 320x200 logical reduction, layout map, and CGA page-copy/RLE/1bpp-expansion/vector-line/text/menu-key loop models, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `birthday-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Happy Birthday by UltraForce analysis with an article-only DOSBox-X EGA runtime contact sheet and a text-only front-page card. The 2026-08-25 live-state pass corrects the old shifted static addresses and recovers `CS=0812h`, main `0100h..0172h`, the exact 440 KiB test, text-screen lifecycle, transformed headerless 39.7498-second 10 kHz Creative Voice block, embedded driver relocation to `0F54:0000h`, guarded CT-VOICE commands 3/5/6/8/9, completion-or-Escape wait, off-screen four-plane RLE picture with exact packet counts and two bounded run overshoots, dual-use driver/picture storage, three write-mode-1 reveal kernels, eight-entry palette rotation, 200-line plane rewriter, generated bit-expansion table, 16x16 glyph kernel, 216-row central-strip scroll, and complete restoration. - `bibo-ergo-sum-analysis.md` - Bibo Ergo Sum by Valhalla analysis with a complete keyed, silent DOSBox-X run from its one-digit GUS-port selector through the final `VOTE` fade and `Esc` return to DOS.

Independent checks cover integer mesh generation, full setup and normals, controller/light records, field sampling, vertex shades, tiled texture preparation and the selected dual-lookup polygon span. Actual driver-fed spans match the integer model; visibility and triangle slopes remain original-code inputs. Three opening, eleven cylinder, twelve plane and nine lit-cylinder frames match full original callbacks. Four native GIFs and eight inline stills support the analysis; earlier objects and closing callbacks remain queued. - `deep-cncd-parallax-analysis.md` - Deep by CNCD and Parallax, the Finnish winner of The Gathering 1995 Amiga demo competition: byte-identical Aminet and Scene.org archives, a complete direct silent A1200 run, twelve executable HUNK parts loaded in two batches, plain/two-volume filename selection, shared backward StoneCracker-era depacking, direct copper/DMA ownership, P61 replay identifiers, and five distinct continuous direct-runtime GIFs. - `decision-in-the-desert-cracktro-analysis.md` - Decision In The Desert Cracktro by PTL Club analysis with decoded CGA base/overlay frames, a frame-derived overlay-loop GIF, and a generated PTLLoad/EXEC handoff map.

Astra review recovers 510 generated dot-tunnel routines, verifies every emitted byte and 83 original dispatch calls, and checks twelve triple-buffer rotations. A further sixty phase updates match 318,720 pixel writes against an independent model. The later Copper effect prepares a bitmap once, then changes row selection and colours; 94 update slices match independently. The line tunnel now has recovered projection, clipping, IRQ command queues, a reversed-plane highlight mask, and motion arithmetic including unchecked divide overflow. The line follow-up matches a complete 24,640-byte live consumer bitmap using original C000 line data and captured texture, explains overlap erasure and word-edge truncation, and recovers the whole-queue completion latch. Both saved command queues match original motion/builder history; current, queued and consumed states are distinguished. Adds a fresh six-second silent tunnel clip. Circles use precomputed spans and palette-based overlap ordering; 120 depth orderings are checked, alongside pointer writes and separate fill-template setup. The pyramid renderer now has recovered meshes, projection, depth sorting, scratch-mask filling and two-colour checker shading; a fresh saved state matches all six vertices of the visible pyramid. Independent blitter replay now matches the complete 19,800-byte display buffer plus the partial draw and scratch buffers. Recovers this shot's camera deceleration and corrects the prose's missing pre-rotation depth bias and unoffset centre-y gate. The wooden title now has recovered width preprocessing, 64 Copper scroll choices, two-panel geometry and five-word row updates, with a fresh 50fps capture excerpt. The following zoom text now has recovered stroke-edge encoding, masked fill, eight Copper bands, accelerating zoom, glyph cadence and preload/end gates; its independent pixel/control models accompany a twenty-second runtime GIF. The later sine-dot review separates the contour introduction from its skipped point code, recovers the active generated 75x50 renderer and wave/reveal/IRQ lifecycle, and verifies 34,650 controlled plots. A fourteen-second silent clip shows the 4250 title and following field; the original full kernel makes 3,750 plot writes, an unexplained discrepancy documented without speculation. Rotozoom now distinguishes two stored gargoyle pictures, a padded RGB12 texture and fixed index stripes. Original sampling writes 31x63 Copper colours; three blits reverse and dim fourteen extra rows. Independent checks cover all texture/list bytes, 19,530 sample reads/writes, exact reflection commands and 1,024 zoom updates. Adds an eight-second silent runtime GIF. A fresh saved state now matches all 19,720 bytes of both Copper lists: display reflection is dimmed, while work-list lower rows hold an undimmed reversal of the display frame. The scheduling behind that intermediate state and exact scanout remain open. The early starfield now has recovered beam-seeded points, 64 prepared frames, mirrored replay, count/music controls and a separate dual-playfield cube. Live seeds reproduce all 345,600 record bytes; all three star buffers match in two states. Original cube edge/fill and face-colour routines reproduce both saved object bitmaps and colour lists. Documents announced 4800/1200 versus checked entrance/hold 3600 and stable-cube 1024 bit writes, with the departure's timing qualification. Adds fourteen-second star and eight-second cube clips, both silent at 50fps. Fresh mirror DMS/ADF bytes match throughout. The opening disk-B raster prelude now has recovered 21-strip Copper writes, static triangle widths, quadrant orders, seven-stage interrupt motion and overlapping star preparation. The separate clipped quadrilateral wipe has exact traversal/hold/fade counts and bounded line/fill replay. An eight-second silent 50fps strip clip accompanies the code. Two fresh live states now match both complete Copper lists and the triangle; one catches active star preparation, the other its completion poll. The altered B-head is decoded as SKIP/register-$1fe MOVE. All 101 wipe poses have independent clipping and command matches, plus a three-second direct clip. A live wipe fixes the exact drawn/next angles. Both wipe bitmaps match with the saved $7fff last-word mask; this corrects a missing inherited-state assumption in the isolated replay. Exact Copper scanout remains separate. Copper jelly now has independently checked radial-fan clipping, line setup, CPU right-edge parity and mask-aware fill. A fresh live state matches the complete 11,264-byte pattern, 4,528-byte Copper list and both wave tables; its original entry/IRQ sequence and saved loader stack establish concurrent preloading. Adds an eight-second silent 50fps clip and shows the exact saved source bitmap beside the code. Corrects patch-source overclaims. Closing credits now include the proportional-font expansion, shifted OR blits, double-buffer scroll and 1,460-call text cycle. Both complete saved bitmaps match; corrected the held-ending claim and added a six-second silent credits excerpt. The preceding Kefrens picture now has its original five-plane source, component-wise palette loop and white-reset/fade controller recovered. Its last scroll carry happens after black; a direct transition clip and exact source decode show the distinction. Credits timing now identifies interlace and the LOF-clear field gate without claiming measured throughput.

The full nine-scene audit now closes every 1/3/26/30-entry model sequence, its palindromic geometry animation, style/class histogram, fixed transform, quadratic depth and staging costs, plus alignment-bounded CPU VGA writes, plane writes, and port traffic; it shows why the 72-point scene can raster less than the 28-point scene. The vector child is followed through its nine-allocation DOS teardown. The separate polygon engine has its normalized exponential depth curve, unsigned pairwise face keys, guard record, exact per-scene sort/edge workload, endpoint semantics, opaque fill/hidden-line modes, fixed 24K clear/upload floor, and plane-3 strip ownership recovered.

The September 18 revision recovers part `.005`'s preblur shade, in-place height smoothing, far-to-near interpolated strips, unrolled vertical stores, rise/copy loop and two-stream flag-mask buffers. Four complete renderer outputs and wrapped buffer cases match independent integer models. The flag follow-up recovers changed geometry, inclusive cross growth and all three palette fades, with 294,912 checked component writes and an original-code white/blue reconstruction. The earlier fly-through now has its own recovered ground-following sampler, subpixel slice setup, nested-sine steering and tick-batched speed ramp, checked against seven full frames and 1,000 controller iterations. The turn pass adds paired 105x256 rotated maps, cache-fed strip rendering and the distinct tick/frame timing of its two controllers; twelve map cases and six full renders match original code. Later flight/reversal, per-frame climb, heading alignment and the held-frame palette bridge now connect that renderer to the flag setup, including the embedded palette's MZ-relocated address and separately checked colour banks.

No local runtime capture, audio path, or new H.264/MP4 media was used for the 2026-07-21 pass. - `md-demo-soc-brigade-analysis.md` - M&D Demo by The Cat and Soc. Brigade, released in July 1991, with source-to-release identity across the doubly wrapped parent and three children. The analysis reconstructs the parent's 1,280x400 ByteRun1/ET4000 panorama and four-channel IRQ mixer; Part 1's 64-point six-phase sine loop, bounded repair rectangle, circular text mask, and half-rate speaker stream; Part 2's exact delta-image grammar, 180x45 two-pixel packed-font scroller, 32-colour cycle, and 158 scanline commands; and Part 3's selective old-phase point-ring eraser, signed-magnitude projection, destructive 8x72-bit serializer, character scheduler, and shared PIT tone/drum bytecode. Three continuous direct-runtime GIFs, three exact direct stills, and one decoded PBM panorama are included; the panorama is explicitly resource evidence because the parent remained black under the tested S3 and ET4000 DOSBox-X routes. The source also corrects the later RTC recollection to PIT IRQ0 and exposes Part 3's unsafe standalone vector restore. Last edited: `2026-08-26`. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `mach3-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Mach 3 by UltraForce analysis with an early DOSBox-X EGA menu frame and front-page still preview. The 2026-08-25 deep pass adds silent live-state instruction pointers inside the exact 8x320 carry-chain scroller; corrects it from a supposed bottom line to scanlines 24..31 through the lower title band; and maps its two-pixel frame cadence, 640 byte rotates, 321-byte plane-0 publisher, guard-byte alignment, and overwrite cleanup. It recovers the complete mode-`0Dh` geometry and palette, 14x19 ROM-font menu, CT-VOICE dispatcher/ready gate and failed-driver route, three-window sample loader with two omitted PCM bytes, all eleven 10 kHz type-1 blocks, 30.3247-second text-song schedule, one-entry INT 09h latch, beatbox policy, retrace/IRQ interaction, error exits, and full normal teardown. The existing still remains byte-for-byte unchanged; no audio was captured, monitored, or auditioned. - `magic-carpet-analysis.md` - Magic Carpet by Keen Like Frogs analysis with a frame-derived orbital/title and terrain-flyover runtime sequence GIF and runtime screenshots. The 2026-07-06 00:42 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the title/orbital frames to the DOS32 startup, object pipeline, stamp/draw-list helpers, and final VGA writer, and the terrain frames to generated height, class, pattern, light, and trig tables. - `magic-johnsons-basketball-cracktro-analysis.md` - Magic Johnson's Basketball Cracktro by The Grand Council 1989 `.BAT` loader analysis with a redacted reconstructed console frame, generated batch-flow map, Scene.org ZIP hashes, `RUNME.BAT` command-interpreter path, `GRAND.CRK` text streaming, CP437 `ECHO` table rows, `PAUSE` gate, missing `mj` payload boundary, and sidecar/contact-material omission notes. - `magic-circle-analysis.md` - The Magic Circle by The European Technology analysis. - `mantaray-csg-analysis.md` - Mantaray by CSG Productions 1992 MS-DOS demo analysis with a public Pouet screenshot, generated carrier/runtime map, contrast-expanded recovered window-bank reconstruction, late-entry LZ carrier notes, UNP-restored MZ layout, Sound Blaster/STMIK setup, page-bank selector, central `111x85` copy loop, sound-driven bar overlay, palette ramps, and keyboard filter. The 2026-07-06 12:07 EEST pass added a visual/runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing public screenshot, recovered window-bank reconstruction, pipeline map, and DOSBox-X IRQ prompt to the SB probe/IRQ parser, mode-13h setup, selector tables, `EE76h` object copy loop, DAC ramps, frame-loop structure, and local-capture evidence boundary. Text-only pass; existing assets were not touched. - `machines-of-madness-dubius-analysis.md` - Dubius' Assembly 1996 demo: 2026-09-17 22:25:06 UTC correction verifies child 4's full 64,000-pixel resampler across four phase cases. The lookup replaces the packed address's low byte; it is not added to it. Added the 17-bit working-texture layout, per-frame sine-fold reconstruction, exact traffic and pointer progression. Existing scene attribution and media remain unchanged. - `marble-madness-cracktro-analysis.md` - Marble Madness Cracktro by PTL Club 1987 MS-DOS analysis with a masked binary-decoded CGA title page and exact `B800h` copy-loop / PTLLoad handoff notes, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `maple-analysis.md` - Maple by DarkZone analysis with a complete keyed DOSBox-X run. The 2026-07-21 pass follows the one-digit GUS selector, teal feedback field, pale shaded form, rotating human head, gold morphing object, mode restore, and natural DOS return; publishes one continuous untiled head excerpt; and maps all four observed sections to their recovered scene drivers, rasterizers, morph interpolator, and cleanup path. - `maximum-overdrive-ii-rage-analysis.md` - Maximum Overdrive II by Rage, the all-Swedish three-disk Assembly 1994 AGA demo, with five continuous silent public-reference GIFs, a bounded replacement-ROM launch failure, its long framed scanline-image processor and late geometry phases, exact DMS/ADF structure, and dissection of the 88-byte boot path that bulk-reads 889,344 bytes into a fixed-memory destination before jumping into it. No video file or audio is published. - `maximum-velocity-silents-analysis.md` - Maximum Velocity by the Finnish section of The Silents, winner of the Abstract and Oxygen Summer Conference 1992 Amiga demo competition, with an authenticated original DMS, complete direct silent A500 run, eight continuous runtime GIFs, authored per-routine credit map, valid custom boot block, raw 11-sector MFM track decoder, thirteen embedded `DEFJAM` depackers, and one mapped ProTracker module. - `mayday-yodel-analysis.md` - Mayday by Yodel analysis with a complete direct five-child DOSBox-X run. The 2026-07-21 pass follows the simulated overload and starfield story, long scripted picture/geometry section, planar interlude, 1024-dot landscape, credits, CRT close, and natural DOS return; publishes one continuous untiled landscape excerpt; and maps each observed child to its recovered launcher, rendering, script, and cleanup paths. - `meaculpa-analysis.md` - Meaculpa by The Brain Slayer analysis with a direct 70-second looping run and a separate captured `Esc`-to-DOS route. The 2026-07-21 pass replaces the old tiled contact sheet with one continuous framed-ball/title excerpt, publishes both direct sources as silent MP4 video players, and ties the visible star/title/ball state machine to the `0413h` updater, `047Ah` dispatcher, `071Fh` script path, `07DEh` glyph blitter, `011Ah` RLE step, `0891h` picture copy, `08B0h` rectangle reveal, `1106h` strip tick, and SB-driven `10D0h` pacing boundary. The 2026-08-25 deeper pass adds the current model/date header; parses all 100 RLE frames and their 31,976-record, 123,218-write cycle; quantifies the 44 ownership-safe stars, four moving strips, and 8x8 replicated glyph kernel; resolves live `CS:047C` to raw handler `142Ch`; measures the 133-byte IRQ path, byte-identical startup body, 256-iteration four-lane mixer, and `D3h` 22.22 kHz cadence; and traces the successful teardown's non-restored PIC-mask leak. Text only; existing media was not altered. - `megademo-2-bizzar-analysis.md` - Megademo 2 by Bizzar analysis with a direct silent no-input runtime route through the title, dotted sphere, purple wire cube, cartoon-face effect, and held handwritten credit page. The pass now separates observed runtime evidence from package-only third-part evidence: the 360-second diagnostic capture remains on the credit page and does not prove that the no-input route reaches `3.EXE` or the ending assets. - `megademo-analysis.md` - Megademo by The Space Pigs 1989/1990 MS-DOS demo analysis with LZEXE plus EXEPACK 4.05/4.06 restoration, DOS `EXEC` launcher chain, BIOS-data-area setup handoff, shared planar RLE blitter, SpacePigs Sound System modules, picture/page-pan parts, "not screen-pan" scroll, realtime Attribute Controller palette scroller, and final glyph/point renderer. The vectorballs part now maps 34 padded shape records, the SoA morph handoff, wordcode choreography, Q15 Euler/perspective loop, exact constant-biased 25-bucket coarse-z painter, generated three-size shaded stamps, two page-specific old-address lists, plane-separated selective cleanup, and exact `A080h`/`A880h` CRTC cadence. The 2026-08-25 follow-up quantifies 14 multiplies and two divides per transformed ball, the 3,456-byte generated phase bank, size-specific stamp and two-plane cleanup traffic, and all thirteen reachable stable size-mix workloads. Includes a 2026-07-06 13:10 EEST static code-path concordance and a 2026-07-06 16:15:17 EEST public-still visual-reference pass. The four published stills are unchanged 320x200 public Pouet reference frames, not DOSBox runtime captures. Local capture remains blocked: the lowercase-mounted launcher path reaches only shell/broken mode-change output, a scratch uppercase-file run enters a running state but did not flush usable video, and direct-part probes are unsafe presentation evidence because later parts depend on setup state written by `MEGADEMO.001`. - `megablast-analysis.md` - Megablast by Orange, The Party 1996 PC demo runner-up. 2026-09-19 22:25:10 UTC: corrected unapplied LE operands and field-pointer interpretation; recovered the 16,384-sample height-field projector, brightness stamps, packed feedback filter, three setup/controller paths and palette/history retention. Original allocation requests 4 KiB for a 16 KiB field; cleanup reverses the handle halves. Live fields, buffers and eleven filtered images connect to 33 complete native RGB frames. A fresh silent run returns to DOS; two new native-grid GIFs join three explicitly public-video GIFs. Earlier broad scene assignments are now qualified. 2026-09-19 22:41:36 UTC: recovered the separate group-photograph distortion: 2,048 procedural stamps, packed diffusion, signed-byte gradient sampling, static modulation images and a 64×256 colour lookup. Four saved compositor images match ten complete native frames; next-step source overreads retain their separate verification boundary. Added a third direct four-second GIF, controller/cleanup details and corrected ownership of the earlier FPU chain. 2026-09-19 22:54:15 UTC: identified the earlier greyscale tunnel's exact PLASTI3D texture/palette, 1,066-point x87 coordinate builder and 1,000-cell integer sampler.

Five image states match nine native frames; added a fourth direct four-second GIF. 2026-09-19 23:08:36 UTC: recovered the green wireframe's dodecahedral graph, fixed-point line DDA, changing digit tiles, packed compositor and row-tracker bug. Two reconstructions match complete native frames, including rebuilt palette state. Corrected the whole dispatcher call-role/gate table and its controller-count interpretation. Added a fifth direct four-second GIF. 2026-09-19 23:21:06 UTC: recovered the textured winged-star logo's 4,131-point local-rotation grid, three-corner 4×4 sampler and static shading lookup. Exact black/white/neutral table rows explain the mask. Three image states match six native frames; controls retain earlier state. Added a sixth direct four-second GIF using the original palette, with every RGB frame checked. 2026-09-19 23:34:25 UTC: recovered the circuit scene's 1,024 polar point origins, unrolled 16×16 additive brush, retained-image filter and separate background. All 4,096 checked coordinates and complete renderer outputs match original code; four filtered image states match seven native frames. Documented strict clipping, the pre-add threshold and setup's in-place brush reduction. Added a seventh four-second direct GIF with exact sampled RGB colours. 2026-09-19 23:42:20 UTC: recovered the title warp's four sequential radial coordinate transforms, 4,131-pair grid and music-row palette gain. Five complete images match fifteen native frames, including a state requiring both sampling and palette reconstruction. Verified setup retention, 128 row-controller cases and the reversed release request. Added an eighth four-second direct GIF with all 120 sampled RGB images preserved. 2026-09-19 23:52:13 UTC: recovered the checker tunnel's fixed WORD map and 200×200 feedback writes within two 256×256 textures. All 25,536 untouched bytes per page retain original artwork; two complete reconstructed images match native frames. Verified stage-indexed velocity interpolation, equality stops, strict page alignment and palette choice. Added a ninth direct GIF, preserving all 640×400 recorded pixels, including paired-scanline differences. 2026-09-20 00:02:16 UTC: corrected the face-overlay description to a seven-image crowd loop and scrolling portrait. Recovered cropped WORD interpolation, asymmetric index-blend tables and the extra source-byte read. Four images match eight native frames; 28 expander cases verify ordered accesses. Setup's zero store follows EDI rather than its computed end pointer, with actual runtime destination left unclaimed. Added a tenth exact-pixel direct GIF. 2026-09-20 00:14:05 UTC: recovered the 240-frame opening stream, pending-decode flag and packed 318×158 enlargement. Four image states match twenty native frames. Separated source frame count, controller counter and consumed-stream cursor; later saved state ends after 233 decoded images. Verified the bounded 238-decode cutoff independently. Added an eleventh direct four-second GIF. 2026-09-20 00:26:53 UTC: recovered the early title-mask rays, their two-phase walker and retained bytewise filter. Verified 807 endpoint pairs and complete renderer buffers; three filtered image states match seven native frames. Documented the nonzero initial exit flag, stage-four budget reset and delayed fade completion. Added the raw title mask and a twelfth exact-pixel runtime GIF. 2026-09-20 00:39:37 UTC: recovered the early brain sequence's independent X/Y scale fields, rotation, three-corner sampler and four static shading images. Six reconstructed images match twelve native frames. Documented stage-driven image selection, palette flashes and retained controls. Added a thirteenth exact-pixel runtime GIF and the original shading image with its baked inset. 2026-09-20 00:47:51 UTC: recovered Accept No Limitations' two successive radius-weighted texture rotations, including their integer coefficients and unused extra centres. Four reconstructed images match nine native frames. Verified the stale row-tracker store, one-shot flash latch and all 26 shared controller updates. Added a fourteenth exact-pixel runtime GIF at 640×400. 2026-09-20 00:56:35 UTC: recovered pale light streaks, both-endpoint rejection, traversal beyond the endpoint, additive brush and packed retained filter. Verified 512 endpoint pairs and 17,369 stamps; two filter-only image states match four native frames. Added a fifteenth exact-pixel runtime GIF and replaced obsolete opening-mask and brain-blit speculation in the overview. 2026-09-20 01:04:48 UTC: recovered the red lattice's 64 vertices, 144 edges, perspective division, finite clipped line helper and retained glow. Three image states match eighteen native frames, including two background-only palette states. Verified the repeated-row flash, ineffective depth branch, input marker and VGA-only cleanup. Added a sixteenth exact-pixel runtime GIF; every dispatcher family now has a detailed original-code recovery. - `men0ven0m-analysis.md` - MEN0VEN0M by AlFuuNi P0WER analysis with a 2026-07-06 15:58:49 EEST SCI screen-to-code concordance tying the RIX3/SCI file order, batch loader `0x09b2`, segment slots `0x0131..0x0139`, DAC uploader `0x0a52`, A000h full-screen copy `0x0a64`, and retrace hold `0x0a3e` together.

The September 18 review corrects the supposed sine/gradient builder to a signed height/depth projection table, C0 RLE packets to 256-byte runs, and the landscape column's unconditional 256-sample claim to its actual early exit. All 131,072 projection words, both full RLE channels and fifteen column cases match the original protected-mode instructions. A follow-up corrects AH3 from a loader to a GDT-descriptor service and recovers the 100-column RAM layout, fourfold horizontal expansion, vertical reversal and per-row planar offsets. Eight complete VGA outputs match. The next pass follows ten-byte camera records into dynamic height origin, tilt tables and patched ray increments, with 1,015 ray setups and the integer interpolation helpers checked. The resource follow-up recovers both real map channels, the 4,096-direction sine/cosine table and all 3,371 camera records. Ten complete original-code frames match intermediate tables, colour columns and all visible pixels; two labelled reconstructions are published. The timer/controller pass proves the nominal 71 Hz PIT setup, low-byte tick skipping, discarded block overshoot and forced final-pose redraw across 110 schedules. Full timed runtime remains open; fixed hold loops count wait returns rather than elapsed ticks. The greyscale follow-up corrects a genuine old error: all three weighted terms load red, not RGB, changing 230 released palette entries versus the claimed luminance. Verified 306 converter runs and 1,428 fade-callback invocations, including Q8 steps, equality-only stopping and register-dependent edge paths. The title-stream pass corrects a second format misreading: the header is destination pitch, not line count, and packets are proportional-font glyphs. Matched the real atlas upload, 59 glyph cases and three released title cards plus a multiline edge case; added a labelled Gouraud-section title reconstruction. The plasma pass recovers its separate sine-sum table, paired-pixel address arithmetic, 190-row output and tick-driven phase changes. All 82,176 table bytes, 37 complete frames and 106 controller schedules match; a slowed original-code phase reconstruction illustrates the moving bands. The first Gouraud backend pass verifies 65,536 slope words, 4,000 bidirectional Q8 spans, 800 packed triangle handoffs and the 32-pixel-offset display copy. The shade-source pass recovers separate authored direction vectors in both mesh variants and verifies 32,808 face shade records: reference Z relative to object origin, negative-to-one replacement, authored bias and byte wrap. The transform pass verifies 1,000 Q30 matrix builds and 16 released poses, matching 22,944 view-space triples and 21,872 shaded faces. It preserves the view transform's separate high-word products and effective quarter scale. The follow-up resolves projection, face ordering and complete triangle coverage, matching 1,200 raster cases and all pixels in 16 released poses. Bounds failures trigger INT3 rather than clipping. The Gouraud controller can read one camera record beyond its payload; the loader supplies no fallback. The September 19 Stretch pass recovers the tiled SILENTS logo, original fixed-point rotation, row interpolation and fully unrolled 320-pixel mapper. Ten released frames and two varied-Z controls match every pixel, and all 4,400 stored transforms match. Its draw-before-advance controller stays within the resource in 84 checked schedules/abort cases. The prepared STRETCH title is not drawn on the recovered entry path. Five exit checks recover white, red-only greyscale and black palette requests, 279 clock returns and an unchanged-index framebuffer snapshot. The credits follow-up recovers its reuse on a stored curled-sheet warp and a 65-frame precomputed point morph: image-dependent pairing/shuffle, Q8 trajectories and forward/reverse copies. A released-resource reconstruction matches all RAM/display frames and is illustrated with a GIF. Full timed playback remains open. - `opticron-analysis.md` - Opticron: Tome of the Impossible by Craw Productions analysis. - `optimize-analysis.md` - Optimize by Feenix/Epical analysis with a sparse runtime GIF, RNC2 loader/depacker notes, BIOS-font fire text, sine-table plasma/ribbon and line-pattern phases, generated fractal texture, planar edge renderer, and a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing DOSBox-X frames to those routines.

The 2026-07-06 00:35 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance mapping the title/script frames, rubber-textured object, feature-list text, final planar animation, GUS/music-counter scheduler, texture span loop, flat-buffer copy, frame-strip loader, bit compositors, and plane-output path to recovered offsets. - `plasma-mulvey-analysis.md` - Plasma by Bret Mulvey analysis with a faster palette-cycle GIF sliced from DOSBox-X video, timestamped DOSBox-X palette-cycle frames, and a source-image render from the shipped `PLASMA.IMG`. The 2026-07-06 02:06 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing GIF/frames to the raw framebuffer image, Turbo Pascal midpoint-displacement generator, `rotatePalette` loop, BIOS palette-block upload helper, stable `A000h` contents, and scripted-Escape capture boundary. - `plasma-raven-analysis.md` - Plasma Intro by The Raven / The Brain analysis with a sparse effect-only runtime sequence GIF, effect-only runtime frames, a generated runtime map, recovered COM packer/depacker notes, Mode-X-style VGA setup, table-driven plasma loops, CRTC start-address writes, timing calibration, interrupt wrappers, and OPL output path. The 2026-07-06 11:46 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing effect-only frames/GIF/map to the unpack boundary, table-evolution loops, 4 KB blitter, CRTC display-start helper, PIT/retrace calibration, and omitted contact-screen boundary. - `plan-b-analysis.md` - Plan-B by Sonic PC analysis with a generated expanded-executable architecture map. - `populous-firm-analysis.md` - Populous Cracktro by The FiRM 22 December 1989 MS-DOS unprotect-loader analysis with redacted public Demozoo intro screenshot, generated COM/INT 21h/INT 69h map, flat-COM layout, sidecar text boundary, full-IVT save/restore, DOS `INT 69h` service install, direct `INT 21h` IVT install, 8192-byte resident block, stack switch, `POPULOUS.EXE` child handoff, DOS `AH=3Dh` file-open scanner, exact `3B 46 0C 75 09 8B 46` child branch signature, `75 09` to `CD 69` patch, saved patch target, and `INT 69h` branch-restore service. - `portal-analysis.md` - The Portal by Flash Productions analysis. - `poison-satori-analysis.md` - Poison by Satori analysis. - `privtro-analysis.md` - Privtro by Irresistible Works analysis. - `purity-analysis.md` - Purity by Distortion analysis. - `project-angel-analysis.md` - code-first Project Angel by Impact Studios analysis: false 1,525-byte MZ image, complete two-file 29-child and ten-resource schedule through exact EOF, two recovered custom decompressors, XMS/private-interrupt substrate, grouped relocation format, self-patched 16.16 Mode X polygon spans, face sorting and lighting, controller flags, planar copies and the 80-byte-pitch end scroller. Six continuous direct silent runtime GIFs are published; no audio, embedded video or H.264/MP4. - `project-xyz-analysis.md` - Project XYZ by Finnish group Orange, Juhla 1995: 2026-09-19 21:44:39 UTC follow-up recovers the ordered motion controller, per-update timer truncation, PIT/IRQ0 clock setup, retained second-entry state and exact warm depth ranges. Completing the interrupted image and three subsequent original renders reproduces a third recorded RGB frame; two declared clocks give the same four images. The initial predicted copy remains unmatched. The preceding review corrected the point-band account to 64 XOR-filled triangles with separate geometry and five-page/four-plane histories, exact projection/span loops and an 8,000-byte partial work match. Earlier checked blur/history, resource ownership and complete silent run with natural DOS exit remain. Seven direct-runtime GIFs and one decoded archive PCX; no audio or H.264/MP4. Original credit retained beside Astra. - `psychic-flight-analysis.md` - Psychic Flight by Spirit analysis. - `psychic-link-analysis.md` - Psychic Link / JUICE by Psychic Link analysis. The 2026-09-17 22:43:40 UTC follow-up corrects the intro scaler's width unit to pixel pairs, verifies its two-stage lookup mixing and Q8 stepping, and documents its byte-sized height countdown and no-clipping boundary. Twelve original-code cases matched all 22,514 word stores. The 2026-09-17 22:37:36 UTC review reproduces the archive/unpacked hashes and verifies the original RLE compositor on all four shipped assets across 384 placements, checking 684,397 written bytes and padded destination guards. Existing clipping prose held up; added the palette-prefix split, length-based copy granularity, and initial-y/oversized-stream boundaries. Static section verification only, with no new runtime or media. - `putre-faction-analysis.md` - corrected and substantially deepened October 1991 Putre Faction by Skull analysis. The pass authenticates and restores the loader plus five packed real-mode children, adds a direct silent DOSBox-X P2 Reflections GIF, and follows the complete P1/P2/P3 frame paths: P1's six parallel sine-bob records, two 344-pixel pages, 16x19 masked blitter, fringe-only repair, and 201-call postlude; P2's 271-byte replay records, six-call metadata cadence, paired fixed/displaced sprite kernels, 47x4 text columns, split palette sequencer, and incomplete restores; and P3's generated 400-start CRTC path, fourteen 8-byte glyph records, exact 26x24/14x12 planar formats, event scheduler, and palette lifecycle. The P2 moving forms are explicitly identified as planar sprites rather than vector balls. No audio or H.264/MP4 media is published. - `que-tbl-analysis.md` - Que? by The Black Lotus, the all-Swedish second-place Remedy 1995 AGA full demo. The analysis verifies all six production contributors individually, follows the demo's own detailed part ledger across nine continuous silent visual excerpts, authenticates the original two-volume installed layout, maps thirteen LoadSeg executables and their shared 76-byte unpacking shell, and uses the later WHDLoad slave to bound the launcher and per-part compatibility repairs. The failed replacement-ROM run is disclosed; no audio or embedded video is published. - `racter-graffiti-analysis.md` - Racter Graffiti by IPL source-limited 1986 MS-DOS text-mode cracktro/graffiti analysis with a public-safe cropped and contact-line-redacted Demozoo frame, generated 80x25 layout/loop map, title-box writer model, centered string loop, and prompt/input loop boundary. - `railroad-tycoon-psi-analysis.md` - Railroad Tycoon Cracktro by Pirates Sick Of Initials 1990 MS-DOS 64K cracktro analysis with a direct safe early silent runtime excerpt, LZEXE-to-MZ unpack boundary, exact packed/unpacked hashes and MZ headers, 714-relocation unpacked image, video-mode/star-count command interface, PSI starfield/logo/scroller runtime, and contact-scroll publication boundary. - `rax-analysis.md` - Rax by Raxsoft analysis with a frame-derived sparse clipped-line sequence GIF, timestamped EGA runtime screenshots, Microsoft C 4.0 MZ layout, fixed-point projection, direct EGA span-writer notes, and a 2026-07-06 01:40 EEST runtime-to-code concordance tying Space-key window changes, page offsets, dither setup, line clipping, and planar writes to the captured frames. - `razor-new-years-eve-analysis.md` - 1991 New Years Eve Demo by Razor 1911 analysis with a frame-derived scroller/apple/clock/1992 transition sequence GIF, timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames, and public Demozoo screenshot references. The deep 2026-08-25 correction ties the visible falling apple to its actual 32x34 transparent blitter, moves the one-pixel spark and 18-slot particle burst to the later 1992 state, fixes the hidden glyph pitch and scroller milestone semantics, proves that the RTC comparison does not pace the software clock, quantifies the steady frame and every transition loop, and follows the non-returning Escape IRQ through IVT/PIC/video cleanup. - `reanimator-analysis.md` - Reanimator by RAGE PC analysis. - `rebel-mind-analysis.md` - Rebel Mind by Epical Assembly 1995 PC demo analysis with public Demozoo screenshot stills, a 1 Hz screenshot-sequence GIF, Scene.org archive hashes, normal MZ loader host notes, large S3M/data-body `MIND.DAT` evidence, EMS/MIDAS/GUS/SB/PAS/WSS startup strings, and a documented private DOSBox-X capture boundary. - `req-the-usual-analysis.md` - Req the Usual by Orange July 1995 MS-DOS/GUS 128K intro analysis with Scene.org archive hashes, safe INFOFILE/DIZ metadata, MZ/RNC1 carrier evidence, 488 KB expanded protected-mode runtime, VCPI/DPMI/A20 startup diagnostics, GUS/8CHN markers, direct public-video full-frame GIF/still evidence, video-to-code concordance for green full-page palette motion, embedded text-table recovery, VGA helper-layer notes, full `A0000h` page-copy path, retrace/DAC palette uploads, masked picture/text overlay loop, glyph-fed credits, and 64-step palette fade machinery. - `roadrunner-rescue-cracktro-analysis.md` - Roadrunner Rescue Cracktro by Five O analysis with a masked decoded CGA page and exact COM exit-path map. - `rebelfun-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Rebel Fun by UltraForce analysis with a masked decoded EGA picture and continuous direct silent runtime GIF. The corrected SB1/OPL2 dummy-host-audio run of untouched `START.BAT` reaches the full loop, overturning the old driver-blocked conclusion. Code/visual concordance ties `REBELPIC.EGA` to its four-plane loader and reveal, then distinguishes the decoded file from the startup-modified live page: `0B10h` extracts eleven plane-2 records and clears the lower canvas. The deep loop pass recovers two 320-bit one-/two-pixel ROM-font scrollers, exact plane-2/plane-0 strip publication, the static third clearing band, dead page switch, retrace-high level gate, and twelve-draw-plus-blank opaque lower overlay. The 2026-08-25 accounting pass closes the steady inner-loop ledger: 480 word carry-chain updates, 963 one-plane publication bytes, six register word writes, three glyph loads per eight iterations, and a 20,990-byte lower overlay cycle spread across 3,328 iterations. No demo audio was auditioned or published, and old contact material is excluded or masked. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `revolt-shadow-productions-analysis.md` - Revolt by Shadow Productions analysis with a DOSBox-X runtime still and front-page preview. The 2026-07-06 14:55 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the `00:04.000` frame to mode `0Eh` setup, static plane stampers `08C9h` / `03B1h`, timer hook install `07E7h`, DAC ISR `0832h`, palette-stream builder `074Dh`, moving logo block `036Ah`, and 25-row band blitter `04A5h`. The 2026-08-25 deep pass adds the complete frame/IRQ handoff and PIT rates, 127th black guard triplet, seven distinct color bursts, five motion rings and their bounds, interrupt/VGA races, and unchained BIOS-tick loss. The graphics pass maps exact plane ownership, the padded 17x26 write-mode-1 logo and implicit old-position cleanup, plus the plane-0 band's 27 source tiles, 3,756-word pointer stream, 21-pointer phase viewport, and movement-bounded guard clears. The 2026-08-25 inner-loop ledger further quantifies the 15,024-frame band cursor/phase cycle, 2,640-byte band write, 442-byte latch copy, selected-plane expansion, and fixed 127-IRQ DAC traffic. Last edited 2026-08-25 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `reversed-evolution-analysis.md` - Reversed Evolution by Virtual Visions analysis. - `rick-dangerous-2-trsi-cracktro-analysis.md` - Rick Dangerous 2 Cracktro by Tristar and Red Sector Inc. 3 December 1990 MS-DOS 4K cracktro / board advert analysis with a redacted 12.000000-second video-only DOSBox-X runtime excerpt, Pouet/Demozoo/Scene.org source chain, Scene.org archive and payload hashes, `.COM`-suffixed MZ/LZEXE v0.91 carrier notes, private UNLZEXE restored MZ map, compact B800/B000 text-stream renderer, six-second title delay, second-card key-wait path, and explicit old contact-row omission boundary. - `robot-orange-analysis.md` - Robot by Orange The Party 1994 MS-DOS/GUS intro. The September 19 text review replaces the proportional-font guess with fixed 16×26 cells and a sixteen-character 16..1-column reveal over a stored background. All 720 sweeps in the six released cards match an independent pixel model; a first-card reconstruction illustrates the result. The late logo/music sequence is a stored animation atlas enlarged 16× with two-stage index interpolation. Verified 240 sequential positions and two wrap controls, including all framebuffer bytes and tile-origin updates. The timer follow-up ties its 110-count wait to a nominal 1 kHz IRQ counter and verifies the observed-time reset that prevents late-frame catch-up. The 64K intro analysis includes Scene.org archive hashes, public-video GIF/still evidence, PKLITE carrier, 405 KB depklite-expanded body, GUS/no-sound setup prompt, Dune/Hoplite/Der Piipo/gusplay credits, `reobot.mod` and `8CHN` evidence, VGA retrace/DAC/CRTC/A000h constants, part-by-part public-video reading, video-to-evidence concordance, and a documented local DOSBox-X setup-prompt boundary after queued keyboard input. The 2026-09-17 23:47:52 UTC review resolves that boundary: the old `7` input was invalid; `4` with muted GUS at 0x240 completes a 244.827-second graphics capture. Adds a continuous direct wire GIF and an original-code ribbon reconstruction. Recovers the procedural point pairs, signed-word transforms, five-fractional-bit line DDA, negative-delta count quirk and independent foreground/background planes, replacing the chunky-page guess. The 2026-09-17 23:56:05 UTC pass resolves the tunnel as contracted feedback with four-neighbour blur, old-destination blending and post-copy 8x4 stamp injection. Explains phase reads into neighbouring wire workspace, adds direct silent feedback footage and a separately labelled reconstruction, and verifies complete kernels and stamp updates independently. The 2026-09-18 00:04:18 UTC pass corrects the static-question-panel claim: four projected cross-section points drive a rotating phrase box, with six 95x30 textures, a width-threshold visibility test, six-bit edge stepping and eleven-bit texture stepping. Explains the non-perspective-correct V mapping, word-bank progression and two-page display. Adds a direct silent panel GIF and reconstruction; 216 complete frames matched independently. The 2026-09-18 00:12:12 UTC pass recovers the later four-plane row-wave compositor: one monochrome source, four sine-driven row streams and a population-count palette that brightens overlaps without a software blend. Adds the decoded mask, direct silent footage and original-code composite; verifies 120 frames, phase updates and the fade's 63/64 endpoint. - `rq-demo-0-analysis.md` - RQ Demo 0 by Renaissance analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a sparse runtime GIF, unchained VGA bars/text internals, and Sound Blaster-style mixer notes. The 2026-07-06 02:13 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the warning gate, `N` mode, generated bar field, retrace DAC pump, proportional text renderer, scripted message blocks, CRTC page reveal, silent-capture audio mixer, and external-stop boundary to recovered code offsets. - `safari-guns-dread-cracktro-analysis.md` - Safari Guns Fix Cracktro by DREAD 7 August 1990 MS-DOS cracktro/fix intro analysis with a direct 5.000000-second video-only DOSBox-X smoke route, Pouet/Demozoo/Scene.org source chain, Scene.org archive and payload hashes, BAT/NFO/ANSI sidecar role boundaries, LZEXE v0.90 MZ carrier notes, packed-entry checksum/depacker map, EGA+ string evidence, and bounded runtime evidence for the one-screen DREAD / Safari Guns hard-drive fix presentation. - `saga-analysis.md` - Saga by Dust analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a frame-derived runtime sequence GIF, and a 2026-07-06 00:56 EEST runtime-to-code concordance tying the observed title, vec-balls/panel, 3D object, shadebob, and end-credit frames to the `SAGA.COM` overlay dispatcher, `SAGA.DST` archive unpacker, `in.com` palette fades, `ball.com` copy/retrace loops, `3d.com` sorted primitive and chunky-to-planar span path, `shade.com` bob resources, and `end.com` planar credit compositor.

The 2026-08-24 correction audits all eight published GIFs, maps the static-foreground forest clip to `MNTSCRL.EXE`, maps the exact decoded face resource to `LNS&ZOOM.EXE`, and explicitly records the missing extraction timestamps instead of inventing clip boundaries. A follow-up inner-loop pass documents GLENZ's sorted XOR edge-event compositor, TECHNO's plane/page cadence, PANICEND's VGA-latch collapse, LNS&ZOOM's generated row lists, PLZPART's 16.16 jump-in filler, MINVBALL's exact old-pixel repair, 3DSINFLD's generated 192-depth horizon walker, and VISU's ordered fixed-point clipper. The 2026-08-25 vector-ball follow-up proves the packed child restores byte-identically to the retained source build, separates one-record simulation ticks from 512-record display frames, derives the four-multiply/three-divide projection and fixed 2/4/2 stamp, quantifies 12,288 common-path framebuffer writes, and records the clipped-shadow history flaw. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. Media files were not regenerated or altered. - `semtex-city-jeskola-complex-analysis.md` - Code-first Semtex City analysis covering the original Juhla 1995 winning package, exact RNC1 restoration, relocated protected-mode segment map, complete 11,285-tick controller, three indexed triangle-model headers, Q15 matrix and perspective path, signed-area culling, 19-pass radix depth sort, pair-pixel interpolated span filler, normal and history compositors, portrait/particle feedback engine, custom glyph renderer, four direct RIX3 decodes and exact twelve-channel MOD structure. Runtime GIFs and stills are secondary concordance evidence. - `sinus-scroll-brain-slayer-analysis.md` - Sinus Scroll Demo by The Brain Slayer analysis with a native-capture yellow sine scroller motion GIF and timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, plus runtime-to-code concordance for the `MAING` resource load, A000h copy, saved-background strip, text-mask surface, sine table, and 320-column compositor. - `sim-city-tuc-analysis.md` - Sim City Loader by The Underground Council 26 September 1989 source-limited MS-DOS cracktro / loader analysis with a node/contact-table-redacted public Demozoo frame, public title/key-gate frame, generated source-boundary map, 640x400 text-screen layout model, two-screen sequence inference, and explicit no-binary/no-loader-loop boundary. - `skate-or-die-ptl-analysis.md` - Skate or Die text loader by PTL Club 1988 source-limited MS-DOS text loader analysis with a contact-row-redacted Demozoo text-mode still, generated console-path map, 640x400-to-80x25 proof, B800h char/attribute model, `COMMAND.COM` batch loop, `TYPE`/`ECHO` console output loops, prompt/key-wait boundary, and unresolved Defacto2 archive boundary. - `skenery-96-invitation-analysis.md` - Skenery '96 Invitation by Orange analysis with public Pouet screenshot, original package map JPEGs, MZ/RNC1 carrier notes, 329 KB expanded protected-mode payload, protected-mode startup diagnostics, scripted text-table recovery, bitmap-font renderer detail, runtime-to-code concordance for the `0xfa00`/`0x3e80` framebuffer path, blended `0x300`-byte DAC tables, script parser, 22-row masked bitmap-glyph blitter, form-feed page reset, direct VGA DAC/vblank timing, keyboard polling, GUS ProTracker driver evidence, and private contact material omitted. - `slave-den-bbs4-analysis.md` - Slave Den BBS (4) by International Network of Crackers and The Humble Guys, a 12 October 1990 MS-DOS board-ad viewer preserved with the Spirit of Excalibur release material. The pass covers a complete scripted four-key silent DOSBox-X route and normal return, LZEXE 0.91 restoration, exact four-record `SLAVES.DAT` layout, DOS seek-based EOF path, direct 4,000-byte `B800h` reads, CRT prompt overlay, BIOS key gate, close/clear/exit chain, and four direct full-frame stills. Historical contact material and the final contact card are omitted. - `slideshow-i-analysis.md` - Slideshow I by Future Crew's June 1990 MS-DOS production, re-restored through both executable packers and expanded into an exact code/data/runtime account. The revision recovers counted-block LSB-first 9-to-12-bit FCPACK LZW semantics and all nine decoded slide hashes, the twelve-member FC0 ledger including its short final sample, resident song and event layout, active linear frame copy, unreachable stride-9 kernel, 32-step grayscale/black/color DAC scheduler, asset-owned palette-index-255 WAIT handshake, input draining, eleven instruments, 16.16 four-channel mixer, three hardware backends, interrupt-frame row redirection, suspended BIOS ticks, and cleanup gaps. One direct silent transition GIF and two exact full-frame stills illustrate the active owners; obsolete contact imagery and all audio are omitted. - `sleeptro-analysis.md` - Sleeptro by Trepaan analysis. - `solstice-analysis.md` - Solstice by Valhalla. The 2026-09-17 22:10:50 UTC correction notes that the recorded `rgbfix` command follows the release README but does not match the binary's `fixrgb` prefix. The capture is retained without claiming the fix was enabled. Verified the comparator and 36 morph-field cases; corrected signed-word difference wrapping before interpolation. No media changed. Includes the original Wired 1995 archive, PMODE/W and DAT-stream dissection, a complete 207.344- second direct silent DOSBox-X visual route, normal text-mode return, and runtime-to-code concordance for the cue dispatcher, RGB split-plane fields, environment-mapped objects, and bucketed triangle paths. Four continuous GIFs and two direct stills cover the Stonehenge camera, object handoff, RGB motion, bar composition, authored title, and late ring/sphere scene; no audio or transport-stream video is published. - `so-be-it-xtacy-analysis.md` - So Be It by Xtacy analysis with the original The Party 1994 archive, complete direct silent DOSBox-X route, MZ launcher/main-program split, retained 471-entry Borland global symbol table, named tunnel/landscape/morph/16-colour/Phong/texture/environment/wave renderer paths, eighteen consecutive raw VGA-sized pictures, and six continuous direct runtime GIFs. - `sonic-demo-a-analysis.md` - Sonic Demo A by Sonic Inc. analysis with a direct silent ET4000 runtime route, exact packed/restored MZ boundaries, five-record/44-member resource ledger, canonical-Huffman/LZ/CRC decoder, broken VBE-success path, vendor-specific bank callbacks, five-band 640x480 column reconstruction, CPU-scaled trail underflow, asymmetric DAC transitions, 306x16 transparent rolling-strip compositor, separate music-owned 240-point field, raw keyboard exit model, and cleanup gaps. - `sorcerian-thg-analysis.md` - Sorcerian Cracktro by The Humble Guys analysis with public starfield/exit stills, THG high-memory carrier notes, arithmetic/LZ decode-loop detail, and byte-exact recovery of the checksum- accepted 37,035-byte Turbo Pascal/BGI body. The 2026-08-25 deep pass follows its relocation stages into the Pascal main, identifies the resident BGI wrappers, reconstructs the 200-record/five-speed star loop and exact 400-call old-point-repair workload, derives the 32-step star fade, and binds the centered title scheduler to eleven fixed 41-byte `THG.DAT` records. Old contact material remains omitted. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; existing media were not altered. - `sourcery-offence-analysis.md` - Sourcery by Offence, the all-Norwegian third-place The Gathering 1992 Amiga OCS full demo. The analysis verifies its three credited contributors individually, separates the member roster from production credits, follows the writer, two mapped-logo passages and continuing final object, and dissects the original 279,760-byte one-hunk executable, direct custom-chip takeover, shared helper and three 64 KiB payloads reused at one chip-memory address. Six continuous silent video-only reference GIFs are published; no audio or embedded video. - `sorrox-fast-intro-analysis.md` - Fast-intro by Sorrox analysis. - `sound-vision-reflect-analysis.md` - Sound Vision by Reflect, the Finnish-Norwegian Assembly 1992 Amiga winner: authenticated original DMS, complete official silent traversal, seven continuous effect GIFs, the demo's own closing routine inventory, 5,632-byte raw-track loader units, resident interrupt counters and exact part-specific WHDLoad repairs. Failed replacement-ROM runs are documented and are not used as visual evidence. - `space-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Space by UltraForce analysis with library/script-to-code concordance tying the resident INT `21h` read decoder at logical `03B0h`, decoded `SPACE.DAT` directory/script, GRASP `PUTUP` handler `0x1EDC`, clip-slot draw path `5406h`, `MOVE` handler `0x2A19`, rectangle mover `6AB5h`, and DAC/fade command paths into the recovered script structure. The 2026-08-25 deep pass corrects the lower clip and RGB path offsets, follows eight-field clip cleanup and overlap direction, and derives exact 1,325,018-byte `ANIM` blit and 5,790,400-byte `END` move ledgers. The analysis remains text-only; no media files were generated or altered. - `spacefun-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Space Fun by UltraForce analysis with a successful silent SB1/OPL2 direct capture, one continuous uncropped runtime GIF, a masked decoded VGA atlas, and asset-to-code concordance. The deepened 2026-08-24 pass corrects the CT-VOICE success branch, separates restored-file and COM-runtime offsets, parses seven exact VOC files and the CMF 1.1 song, maps the fixed hardware ports and loader weaknesses, and ties the observed two-trail/state cycle to the `0410h` dispatcher, 8x9 transparent stamp kernels, net one-word position-table advance, frame-count cadence, and retrace-synchronized 64,000-byte blit. The 2026-08-25 workload pass adds the exact sprite transparency counts, 1,094/1,152-frame state cycles, and a per-state 139,776..142,989-write compositor ledger including the blank/reset frame. - `space-jam-analysis.md` - Space Jam by Fascination analysis. - `spacedemo-codeblasters-analysis.md` - Spacedemo by The CodeBlasters April 1991 MS-DOS EGA analysis from the twice-restored 382,334-byte MZ and direct silent runtime. It proves the five numbered sidecars are signed PCM rather than visual modules, closes the 15.9 kHz four-voice fixed-point IRQ mixer, 674/311-event score periods, and the fourth voice's cross-buffer alias from `SPACE.000` through a zero gap into `SPACE.001`. The visual pass closes the 25-star/50-XOR frame and 320-frame period, corrects the pre-scroller section to 141 frames, counts the 3,138-character planar scroller's 1,040 VRAM writes and 3,248 port outputs per character, and proves the exact 1,000-phase no-framebuffer-write credits viewport. The article adds one main-screen runtime GIF, one exact-cycle credits GIF, and a byte-for-byte reconstruction of the embedded 320x800 credits strip. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `speed-ball-loader-mcm-analysis.md` - Speed Ball Loader by Miami Cracking Machine source-limited 14 April 1989 MS-DOS text-mode cracktro/loader analysis with safe/redacted Demozoo stills, generated B800h text-page map, clear-screen word fill, row-fragment writer, centered string helper, attribute-switching text, CGA/Tandy/EGA key gate, and exit-message models. - `spdemo1-space-pigs-analysis.md` - Demo 1 by The Space Pigs analysis with a decoded `BILD.PCM` still, front-page still preview, and visual/asset-to-code concordance tying the still to the mode-0Eh RLE decoder, three bitplanes, CRTC row layout, text streams, renderer, trail plane, and optional sample ISR. The 2026-08-25 inner-loop pass corrects the apparent 80-entry trail to forty packed 18-byte producer/consumer records, closes its 4,120-byte normal tick baseline, and recovers the 80-call position cycle, 96-tick profile sweep, 192-tick hold, one-tick hand-off, and frozen-CRTC delay behavior. - `spdemo2-space-pigs-analysis.md` - Spdemo2 / Demo 2 by The Space Pigs analysis with reconstructed logo, runtime contact sheet, front-page still previews, and visual/runtime-to-code concordance tying `SPDEMO2.PCM`, the runtime sheet, sidecar loader, COD decode, CRV panning, FNT scroller, point trails, and PIT/PC-speaker stream together while keeping the still roles separate. The 2026-08-25 point-loop pass adds the 28 seed/live records, exact 61-shift workload, 4..11 carry-write range, 16,960-frame settled period, and the row-27 collision that reduces 28 initialized bits to 27 physical points. - `spdemo3-space-pigs-analysis.md` - Demo 3 by The Space Pigs analysis with a reconstructed RLE screen still, front-page still preview, and visual/asset-to-code concordance tying the still to the LZEXE restore, mode-13h setup, `3EAA0h` whole-screen RLE decoder, final DAC palette, CRTC hardware scroller, strip overlays, and four-channel timer player boundary. - `spheres-skull-analysis.md` - Spheres by Skull 1991 VGA analysis from the PKLITE 1.13 restoration and direct silent runtime. The pass separates the decoded opener from the sphere scene and proves that the apparent lit balls, shadows, and depth are fifteen pre-rendered sparse word-run updates rather than live sphere geometry. It maps the four plane-rotated slab phases, CRTC-path panning, line-compare split, per-frame display-enable calibration, dual 64-color exchanges, twenty selective old-pixel sparkles, two scripted text bands, active fade/cleanup, and sound/config boundary. The 2026-08-25 workload follow-up adds the missing last-edit date and bounds a steady frame to 7,148-7,764 sphere-raster writes, at most 40 sparkle writes, and up to 3,200 gated text-row writes—11,004 coincident A000 bytes without a full-page copy. The 2026-08-26 vector-ball follow-up proves that the fifteen sparse streams form a closed delta ring: 112,802 writes produce 94,681 actual byte changes, frame 15 restores the initial decoder-owned A000 model, and a second cycle reproduces every intermediate state. It also recovers the adapter calibration's five warm-ups, 26 accumulated samples per frame, literal divisor 25, and non-zero delay clamp. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; existing matched public media were unchanged. - `sphinx-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Sphinx by UltraForce analysis with a DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet and an exact decoded raw-source/FNT-frame comparison. The 2026-08-25 deep pass corrects the frame order and visual ownership, recovering the 200-line signed warp, next-frame opaque mouth patch, 700-column ribbon buffer, 628-column lower/rear plus upper/front projector, fixed-address glyph staging/cropping, 48 proportional records, 256-state scanline translation, zero-transparent 1,151-pixel logo mask, 64-state DAC pulse, two-half presentation, live F-key bounds, and complete BIOS/DOS exit. Its front-page card remains text-only. - `stargate-graffiti-analysis.md` - Stargate Graffiti by faked public domain source-limited 1984 MS-DOS cracktro analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, palette measurements, and generated layout map. - `starlite-nordic-vision-analysis.md` - code-first analysis of Nordic Vision's Finnish 1994 PC demo: exact DIET 1.45f restoration, 988-relocation MZ boundary, self-read executable overlay, complete silent direct run, unrolled 64x32 planar texture mapper, four-neighbour feedback field, 253-byte run-glyph records, DAC interpolation state machine, 640-pixel virtual-stride Mode-X writer, 37x37 grid passes and four-opcode delta-animation interpreter.

The 2026-07-06 03:04 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing bright checker/arc and green noisy-field frames to the setup/timer path, scripted object/depth-list pass, DAC fade glue, midpoint subdivision, skewed resample, and final self-patched span writer. Text-only pass; existing media were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `spring-analysis.md` - Spring! by Logic Design analysis. - `squash-a-delic-analysis.md` - Squash-a-delic by Mental Design analysis. - `star-glider-2-cracktro-analysis.md` - Star Glider 2 Cracktro by International Network of Crackers 11 October 1989 TheDraw COM screen-save and batch handoff analysis with decoded B800h page, generated loader map, `RUNME.BAT` pause/`sg2` boundary, fast `REP MOVSW` row copy, and optional CGA snow-safe `03DAh` polling path. - `starport-bbs-1-analysis.md` - StarPort BBS by Future Crew 13 September 1992 BBStro analysis with DOSBox-X runtime crops/GIF, packed MZ wrapper notes, 640x350 16-color mode evidence, station/logo layer timing, and cropped omission of old contact details. The 2026-07-06 02:17 EEST pass added a bounded runtime-to-code concordance tying the cropped frames/GIF to 640x350 mode evidence, starfield/station/logo/badge layer timing, scroller text/data boundary, paragraph-copy wrapper, StarPort II separation, and hidden-body evidence limits. - `starport-bbs-2-analysis.md` - StarPort BBS Intro II by Future Crew source-backed 1993 VGA/AdLib BBStro analysis with DOSBox-X runtime stills, a short 3D dot-scroller GIF, planar mode `0Dh` buffer/copy notes, palette and plane-cycling details, 70 Hz timer hook, dot-letter projection, and the compact Skaven/Psi AdLib player. The 2026-07-06 02:41 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing runtime frames/contact/GIF to `SP2.ASM` dot-list seeding, BIOS-font text geometry, projection, `pset1` / `pset2` writers, palette/index plane cycling, 70 Hz timer stepping, and the integrated AdLib row player. Text-only pass; media files were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `strike-eagle-2-tuc-analysis.md` - Strike Eagle 2 Cracktro by The Underground Council 15 August 1989 MS-DOS TheDraw COM screen-save analysis with a public Demozoo still, decoded 80x25 text page, generated loader map, exact 4176-byte COM layout, 23-row `REP MOVSW` copy, disabled CGA snow-safe `03DAh` path, and DOS-prompt residue explanation. The 2026-07-06 12:17 EEST pass added a visual/stub-to-code concordance tying the existing decoded page, public still, and loader map to the TheDraw page bytes at file `00B0h`, runtime `01B0h`, the `0104h` 23-row header, `017Ah` row loop, `01A1h` `REP MOVSW` fast path, unused snow-safe `03DAh` path, and immediate DOS exit. Text-only pass; existing images were not touched. - `startrek-authentic-audio-analysis.md` - Star Trek by Authentic Audio analysis. The 2026-08-25 deep pass corrects the previously shifted GL directory and false `.ply`-script identification, recovers the exact read-time substitution table and all nineteen member lengths, decodes the real ASCII `startrek.txt` controller and standard GIF87a assets, and maps the full five-iteration visual/audio lifecycle. One correctly timed BIOS-level Space reaches a complete 67.231395-second silent run. Direct runtime evidence now covers the title, Picard, Worf, Riker, Geordi, and Data states, with exact stable windows, centered 160x100 clip geometry, retained 320x200 footer page, palette side effects, transitions, and normal exit. The older setup contact sheet remains as explicitly bounded startup evidence. The 2026-08-26 inner- loop pass resolves the live GRASP effect table and proves effect 12 as a 50-pair center-out scanline reveal, effect 20 as a complete 15-bit LFSR dissolve with 16,000 accepted pixels per shot, and `spread` as 20 exact 13-bit fixed-point palette writes. It also removes the false implication that generic masked writer `D346h` owns either visible transition. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; the existing matched direct-runtime pictures were unchanged. - `stars-analysis.md` - Stars: Wonders of the World by NoooN analysis with a 2026-09-17 22:30:54 UTC verified remap correction: one sentinel word per pixel, overwriteable eligibility-masked ray entries, and 16-bit texture address wrap. Four complete renderer cases checked every source read and output write; two overlapping rays verified replacement rather than first-hit ownership. Original archive/unpacked hashes reproduced; no media changes. Earlier material includes DOSBox-X/Xvfb runtime capture, stills, contact sheet, short GIF clips, and a runtime-to-code concordance tying the title sweep, palette/photo chain, vector ribbon, flesh-warp, and dog-collage clips to the music-position script, resource loader, palette helpers, and remap inner loops. - `stardream-analysis.md` - Stardream by Surprise! Productions analysis with DOSBox-X/Xvfb runtime stills, contact sheet, and GIF clips for the generated background, twelve-strip warmup, sine-dot overlay, and central multi-scroller, plus a runtime-to-code concordance tying those clips to the planar emitter, twelve DOS text buffers, live dot plotter, and warped-column compositor. - `state-of-the-art-spaceballs-analysis.md` - State of the Art by Spaceballs, the Norwegian winner of The Party 1992 Amiga demo competition: complete direct silent A500 run from the Scene.org disk, explicit 1 MB chip-memory patch boundary, custom boot/trackloader, exact loader and main ProTracker modules, CIA-timed four-channel replay, repeated exclusive-fill blitter kernels, scale/address tables, and twenty continuous runtime GIFs. The 2026-09-19 12:17:56 UTC revision recovers all 236 first-stage pose entries, unequal-vertex contour morphing, XOR parity edges, exclusive fill and buffer cleanup. Original pointer history matches the live concentric-pattern state; corrected the main replay prefix from disk $20000 to $21000. Last edited 2026-09-19; original model credit retained separately from Astra. The 2026-09-19 12:28:17 UTC pixel pass matches all three complete mask allocations (76,560 bytes), distinguishes the selected and newly rendered poses, and adds the decoded selected mask. A host-only extra-line-step counterfactual changes 11,587 bits; the original commands match exactly. 2026-09-19 12:35:41 UTC - Recovered the black startup palette, third-render reveal, body-only colour ramp and whole-pattern exit fade, including signed component rounding and the saved palette state. 2026-09-19 12:47:27 UTC - Recovered the later textured dancer: five history planes from a six-mask ring, an Extra Half-Brite texture plane, palette inversion, clamped close-up tables and a 71-record pose schedule. Counter rewinds extend advancing groups; one boundary case shortens a group. Added a four-second silent 50fps clip, matched live controller/palette/ pointer/table state. The 2026-09-19 12:55:39 UTC follow-up matches all six later mask buffers (76,560 bytes), recovers stream B's per-edge y swap, and adds the static six-plane composition. The 2026-09-19 13:03:37 UTC pass traces the raw texture loads: all 51,040 window bytes match the new 50,688-byte load plus a 352-byte suffix matching an earlier load. The composition now uses disk-backed texture and replayed palette/pointers; physical scanout timing remains outside the proof. 2026-09-19 13:14:33 UTC - Recovered the word-slot interlude: 21 packed word images, three independently advancing table columns, 966 unrolled longword copies per image, three Copper bands and startup-only buffer progression. All 81,144 decoded bytes and 23,184 written buffer bytes match the fresh save. Added a direct still with its changing phrase distinguished from the later saved composition. 2026-09-19 13:28:17 UTC - Recovered earlier blue trails: five history planes, the 27-record four-stream schedule, conditional close-up and whole-palette inversion. All six mask buffers (76,560 bytes), lookup tables and saved Copper state match original-code replay. Added a four-second direct clip. 2026-09-19 13:35:56 UTC - Recovered the stepped colour-field passage: the blitter packs RGB ramps from an 8 KB component table directly into seventeen Copper bands. Temporal endpoints feed vertical and horizontal interpolation. Original-code replay matches all 3,456 bytes of the saved Copper region; contour drawing remains outside this pass. Added a direct runtime still. 2026-09-19 13:43:02 UTC - Matched the stepped colour-field renderer at its saved mid-line instruction: all fifteen D/A registers and all 76,560 mask bytes agree, including the unfinished work mask. Recovered the three-update silhouette age gap and stream-exhaustion handoff, with the input gate distinguished from a full display pause. 2026-09-19 13:49:27 UTC - Recovered the earlier textured loop separately from the later textured dancer: six drawn startup poses, a 22-entry repeating path, oldest-to-newest order behind the leading mask plane, fixed palette and four fully disk-backed texture windows. All 76,560 mask bytes and 51,040 texture bytes match. Added a direct 2.51-second clip. 2026-09-19 13:59:35 UTC - Recovered the returning concentric-pattern section: the first bitmap is reused at a new address, with new phase tables and a 44-record pose schedule. Palette switches use numeric NEG.W, not complement. Matched 40,960 pattern bytes and 38,280 active mask bytes; bounded late schedule/fade claims against the exit threshold. Added a four-second clip. 2026-09-19 14:14:41 UTC - Recovered the rotating-hand passage: stream identity resets its temporal mask history, with selection preceding the reset. The fixed palette turns overlapping contours into dark centres and coloured rims. All 76,560 mask bytes match; a full 352-call continuation verifies six cleared but undrawn work masks. Added a four-second 50fps runtime clip. 2026-09-19 14:37:04 UTC - Recovered the crossing polygon bands: two two-bit frames combine into sixteen colours, with source reversal, reflected lookup tables and white palette flashes. The clear uses 410 unrolled MOVEM instructions plus a blitter tail. Eight saved bus writes resolve a partial-instruction boundary; all 102,080 buffer bytes match. Added a four-second 50fps runtime clip. 2026-09-19 14:49:46 UTC - Recovered the gold-rimmed dancer: five recent filled poses create the outline, with restricted history collapses and two rebuilt palettes. Verified the 51-record schedule, terminal-pose redraw and unused zoom tables. All six masks match at a partial line; 518 full draws reach the nominal exit, where a texture-only fade stops short of white. Added a four-second clip. 2026-09-19 15:01:11 UTC - Recovered the black-contour colour-field passage: solid OR lines, no fill, and three display pointers that combine neighbouring contour rows. One active Copper colour field uses an 8 KB component table; all six masks and the 3,480-byte Copper region match. Verified floor-rounded reflection, the counter rewind and 692 full drawing updates. Added a 4.02-second clip. 2026-09-19 15:05:31 UTC - Corrected the black-contour display interpretation: BPLCON1=$0001 adds a one-pixel odd-plane delay to the row offsets. The display combines three samples in both axes, and all eight indices can occur. The saved register matches the Copper; a bounded static comparison distinguishes 669 black pixels from the previous row-only interpretation. 2026-09-19 15:18:12 UTC - Recovered the op-art finale: exact reuse of the first pattern, two scrolling bitmap windows, three wide-stride masks, a changing pose-update cadence and 94-record absolute-modulo schedule. Matched 38,280 active mask bytes and continued all 608 filled poses. Verified the blanked fields, palette arithmetic, white handoff and 24,640-byte final card. Added a five-second 50fps transition clip. 2026-09-19 15:30:35 UTC - Corrected the gold-rim selector's hardware-plane numbering: plane 1 is retained while planes 2–5 receive older masks. Clarified plane-2-only pattern scrolling, the returning mask's four-byte pre-offset and the 48-byte fetch versus 44-byte drawing width. Removed the overview's unsupported cut-and-displace interpretation of the hand history. Cross-checked display registers in thirteen valid saved states. 2026-09-19 15:45:06 UTC - Recovered the four title pictures, alternating bitmap pointers, signed fades, VBlank flag and repeated sample with increasing volume. Fresh saved title/credits data and palettes match; added a six-second 50fps clip. Corrected the soundtrack-duration claim: uninterrupted replay stops near 3:27.3, while the saved final card retains a state near 3:24.0 cut off by the demo's own interrupt and audio-DMA shutdown. Verified 11,151 original replay ticks and all 2,668 row reads. 2026-09-19 15:51:56 UTC - Recovered the high-resolution dragon poster: all 81,920 bitmap bytes and the 220-byte prepared Copper list match two fresh saves. Explained the late -80 modulos that hold the final fetched row, four-byte pointer pre-offsets, polled palette fades and disk handoff. Verified all 38 fade steps and the 21/125/17 foreground event sequence. The existing dragon GIF already shows this passage. 2026-09-19 16:03:34 UTC - Recovered the opening montage's three pose streams, unequal-contour morphing, plane tags, parity edges, fills and alternate coordinate tables. Explained the held hand, two-pose display lag, later blank second planes and two-pixel display delay. All 76,560 buffer bytes match at four saves; all 479 selected poses and 26,343 line blits are independently checked. Added a six-second 50fps hands-to-figure clip. - `stoned-analysis.md` - Stoned by Dust analysis with a sparse runtime GIF, DOSBox-X frames, COM depacker, unreal-mode GS window, generated samplers, and fractal-map notes. The 2026-07-06 11:35 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing blue fractal/map and grayscale tunnel frames to the long startup calculation, unreal-mode extended-memory maps, generated sampler/render code, phase-table distortion, DAC palette paths, and BIOS-font source-buffer text distortion. Text-only pass; existing media were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `stickmans-world-analysis.md` - Stickman's World by COMA analysis with a complete direct DOSBox-X/X11 run, setup still, full-phase timeline, and continuous room and stage motion clips. The runtime pass ties the title, three interstitials, sparse room/stage pages, 694-record coordinate stream, seven integer interpolation phases, clipped line DDA, final bars, and normal text-mode exit to the existing PKLITE/UNP and embedded-S3M analysis. - `strumpsaft-analysis.md` - Strumpsaft by The Unexpected analysis. - `stunter-cracktro-analysis.md` - Stunter Cracktro by The Dream Team 1990 MS-DOS cracktro analysis with a keyed post-gate silent runtime excerpt, contact-heavy text-gate omission boundary, four-MZ Scene.org archive hashes, modified-marker LZEXE-style `LOADER.EXE` handoff, `1.TDT` text gate and appended data boundary, `2.TDT` / `LOAD.EXE` VGA support strings, large TDT logo/starfield route, huge colour-phase scroller, and video-only publication path. - `stunts-inc-cracktro-analysis.md` - Stunts Cracktro by International Network of Crackers 1990 MS-DOS cracktro/info-screen analysis with Scene.org archive hashes, `INCFO.INC` release-note context, direct silent runtime smoke, CP437/B800h page reconstruction, TheDraw COM metadata, 23-row 80-column cell copy, B800/B000 video-mode gate, CGA snow-safe alternate path, immediate DOS exit, and video-only publication path. - `summer-holiday-analysis.md` - Summer Holiday by Sorcerers analysis. - `super-television-analysis.md` - Orange's Assembly 1996 demo: complete native capture, corrected LE/IRQ coordinates and all 28 indexed resource slices; opening 40×25 animation, persistent grain, staggered planar expansion, keyed credit frames, clamped scale sampler, controller and palette loops. Original-code reconstructions across the opening, bowl, STV-logo compositor and two stored-animation invocations match native output. The animation pass recovers byte-quantized interpolation, retained-flag cadence, pulse/palette timing and a masked ending card over an older animation page. Ten animation frames match complete original palette/renderer replay; the ending composite matches separately with its retained animation palette. The fiery STV pass recovers signed coordinate tables, padded sampling, fixed-seed feedback, packed nibble composition and the weighted-sum palette. Two complete native frames match compositions of original output states with measured display boundaries; full scanout timing remains unproved. The texture-gradient pass recovers four packed blurs, derivative displacement, radial-highlight and colour lookups, sparse display and a keyed ending. Eight normal frames and six ending-fade frames match complete original-code replay. Captured blur tail bytes are retained, with no visible change in four zero-tail tests. Both picture cards now have original-copy/palette matches across all 24 positive pulse gains, totaling 638 selected native frames. Their foreground row-edge pulses are separate from the retained shader IRQ controller. Television-text recovery separates neighbour copying from VGA-history smoothing. The full 1874-block original PRNG sequence and five saved CPU states establish the movement switch; completed native states and three measured whole-scanline compositions match with timing limits explicit. The molten field now has four-window averaging, signed displacement, complementary sparse writes and Cartesian palette arithmetic recovered. Two native frames match original whole-line compositions; 700 controller calls and a wrong allocation-release argument are checked with limits explicit. The logo pass recovers centred-coordinate contraction, source/shade address windows, bounded reads and a displaced producer feeding the fixed screen copy. The bowl uses a stored 256×200 WORD coordinate map, complementary checkerboard passes, whole-WORD carry and three-page history. The closing 320×600 bitmap scroller matches 775 native frames. Its early final-palette upload explains 183 nearly dark hand-off frames; the portrait copy/fade matches all 256 ending frames with row/gain aliases stated. The two foreground gates and retained timer counter are recovered separately. Sound/IRQ review distinguishes PIT visual controllers, playback and IRQ detection probes, and corrects the old high-IRQ and timer-restoration claims. - `superunknown-analysis.md` - Superunknown by Five, And Then Some analysis. - `sword-of-the-samurai-firm-analysis.md` - Sword Of The Samurai Cracktro by The FiRM 22 November 1989 MS-DOS unprotect-loader analysis with public Demozoo intro/exit screenshots, generated COM/INT 13h patch-scanner map, direct IVT vector install, XOR 66h text block, `SAMMY.Dat` child handoff, one-shot protected-loader byte-pattern search, exact in-memory patch bytes, and ANSI phone-book sidecar omission boundary. - `thunderblade-firm-analysis.md` - Thunderblade Cracktro by The FiRM 4 November 1989 MS-DOS unprotect-loader analysis with redacted public Demozoo intro screenshot, public exit screenshot, generated COM/INT 21h/INT 69h map, flat-COM layout, direct `INT 21h` IVT install, DOS `INT 69h` service install, XOR 66h text block, `THUNDER.Frm` child handoff, `AH=1Ch` media-descriptor scanner, exact injected child bytes, saved target address, and 22-byte restore-copy service. The 2026-07-06 12:19 EEST pass added a visual/loader-to-code concordance tying the existing redacted intro, exit screen, and flow map to the XOR text decoder, DOS `AH=09h` print paths, BIOS key wait, cleanup/IVT restore, resident `INT 21h` scanner, injected `AL=F8h`/`8000h` patch, `INT 69h` restore-copy service, and missing-child evidence boundary. Text-only pass; existing images were not touched. - `syllabization-tarzan-tuotanto-analysis.md` - Syllabization by tArzAn tuotanto / tAAt Assembly 1995 MS-DOS demo analysis with party archive plus group mirror identity check, VGA/GUS/SB/no-sound MIDAS release notes, one-day-production boundary, public-video GIFs for tunnel/object/road sections, one public Demozoo still, private no-sound DOSBox-X startup boundary, tiny MZ front, 1.24 MB appended payload, and S3M/MIDAS/ULTRASND tracker-surface evidence. - `symbology-analysis.md` - Symbology by Admire analysis. - `tangle-analysis.md` - Tangle by Epical analysis. - `takeover-analysis.md` - Takeover by Epical complete interactive direct silent runtime and binary analysis: authenticated Finnish 1992 release, original 486/no-music selectors, Escape-driven traversal through all six shipped visual executables, six continuous GIFs, packed multipart file map, GoldPlay/ProTracker assets, common backwards depacker, loader VGA helpers, and the distinct LZ-wrapped animated end tableau. - `tbs1-bbs-hacks-analysis.md` - BBS Hack's by The Brain Slayer analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots and detailed palette/particle/ scroller loops. The 2026-07-06 11:54 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the existing runtime frames/contact sheet to the MAING resource loader, 12-pass reveal, palette range rotators, dirty-list point renderer, bottom strip scroller, four-lane overlay text, and omitted contact-tail boundary. - `tcb-xmas-91-analysis.md` - Xmas by The Code Blasters analysis with a front-page still card using decoded resource pages rather than a non-temporal GIF. The visual/archive-to-code concordance ties the existing decoded contact sheet, RIX pages, and planar logo to the TCB wrapper/depacker and each executable stage while preserving the no-runtime-timestamp boundary. The 2026-08-25 deep pass quantifies `.010` as a 16,000-address/64,000-pixel planar deinterleaver, recovers `.030`'s 15,360 byte rotations and exact strip/reveal workloads, corrects `.050`'s nominal second palette upload as a zero-count `REP OUTSB`, and derives `.070`'s 2,640-byte glyph records, two-segment font split, 11-column/retrace renderer, startup prefill, and memory/audio exit lifecycle. Text-only pass; media files were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `television-orange-analysis.md` - Television by Orange: the 2026-09-19 pass recovers the packed body, resource archive and all thirteen main-stage paths. Includes opening index persistence, RGB history/scanline packing, wavy credits, four texture tunnels, angular XOR triangle history, fixed portraits and scale-atlas selection. The shared title/cap PCX decoder doubles its run counter: 81,920 title pixels plus 4,587 out-of-allocation decoded bytes match live RAM. The following portrait's complete 1,024,000-byte scale/brightness atlas also matches. Covers palette gates, planar copies, final raw-image fade, shared defaults and initialization order. Fourteen direct-runtime GIFs and a native title still have checked associations. Four native title frames also match every reconstructed RGB byte. Live output matches and prediction-only checks are distinguished; late feedback work mismatches and full overrun extent remain explicit. Original analysis credits are preserved separately. - `tempesta-soft-one-analysis.md` - Tempesta by Soft One Productions Assembly 1994 PC demo analysis from the exact release and a complete direct silent DOSBox-X run: nine restored PKLITE MZ programs, thirteen-record XOR-decoded resource directory, five tracker modules, exact eight-child controller timeline, tall TIFF underwater artwork, and eight continuous runtime GIFs. - `trekmo-patrik-aalto-analysis.md` - Trekmo by Patrik Aalto Assembly 1994 PC demo analysis from the exact release and original `-once` route: restored PKLITE/PMODE image, byte-exact main/model/event region map, two documented spacecraft polygon banks, triple-buffered 320x240 Gouraud rendering, 153,600-byte software Z-buffer, custom GUS event score, and four continuous runtime GIFs. - `test-drive-2-spn-analysis.md` - Test Drive 2 Speed Shop Trainer by The Stealth Pirate Network 17 July 1989 source-limited MS-DOS cracktro/trainer analysis with three public Demozoo screenshots, generated source-boundary map, visible key-gated title state, `speed.dat` / `cars.dat` missing-file dependency model, and explicit no-binary/no-patch-loop boundary. - `textmode-unlimited-hitech-analysis.md` - Textmode Unlimited by HiTech The Party 1995 fast-intro analysis from the normal MZ executable and a complete native DOSBox-X capture: 80x50 B800 setup, live character-`FFh` font-plane replacement, two expanding word-table bands, column cleanup, 32-bit PRNG, two random unique clears, 40x78 eight-neighbour diffusion mapped into 37x80 CP437 shade cells, exact 62/62/505 nested retrace budgets, two 4,000-word final table reveals, and the embedded HSC/AdLib dispatcher and exit path. - `their-finest-hour-graffiti-analysis.md` - Their Finest Hour Graffiti by Byte Bandits Productions and The Underground Council 20 October 1989 source-limited MS-DOS cracktro / advert analysis with a contact-row-redacted public Demozoo still, generated source-boundary map, 640x400 frame geometry, 16-scanline text-row cadence, plausible text-page / BIOS / screen-copy / graphics-font renderer loops, and explicit no-binary/no-handoff-loop boundary. - `third-courier-print-analysis.md` - The Third Courier Text Loader by `$print` 15 October 1989 source-limited MS-DOS cracktro / text loader analysis with two public 640x400 text screens, generated source-boundary map, release/info page model, framed title/load page model, install-note boundary, and explicit no-binary/no-handoff-loop boundary. - `tsh-xmas-91-analysis.md` - Xmas '91 by The Skyhawks analysis. The 2026-08-25 direct silent selector run follows the real rename/EXEC/rename-back chain through all four children and normal DOS return, with a six-state native-frame sequence, three part stills, and a full-frame `.004` motion GIF. The deeper code pass maps `.000`'s eleven planar pages and fixed retrace budget; corrects `.002` to six exact `20x16` objects on a 320-byte mode-13h pitch; closes `.004`'s 51,200-byte page setup, four-plane 40-row strip writer, synchronized CRTC start/destination advance, and vblank DAC updates; and identifies `.006`'s exact 7,960-byte/199-row copy boundary plus 20 independent word streams that build its rising final text row. It also traces Esc through each child's timer, allocation, interrupt, video, and DOS cleanup before the selector restores the numbered filename. Audio stayed disabled/dummy and was never monitored or auditioned. - `the-party-91-intro-analysis.md` - TRSI and Surprise! Productions' 1991 MS-DOS Party 91 intro, independently restored through its custom MZ depacker and deepened through the complete beam-raced display loop. The 2026-08-25 pass quantifies 2,072 P91 row-plane units and 663,040 decoder destination read/modify/writes; recovers the sixty 101-byte raster records, 120-iteration record ping-pong, 1,000-state CRTC phase, 200-step CRTC consumer, fixed 186-scanline/504-write DAC schedule, opaque 64-byte glyph publication, 2,700-iteration five-page text cycle, descending-divisor palette fades, 114,256-byte DOS ownership, and 96,000-write closing framebuffer path.

The inner-loop ledger proves 6,372 updates and 6,552 retrace waits per script cycle, 65,230,928 payload reads, 65,249,280 payload writes, invariant 10,240 writes per update, and the authored dead-store range `01AE3h..0ECB6h`. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. - `the-ufo-project-analysis.md` - The UFO Project by Orange and NoooN: original PKLITE execution, complete DLZ expansion into a six-channel module and 91 FORM/PBM pictures, exact directory/body boundaries, opaque/keyed byte-run decoders, palette ownership and both fixed bytecode scripts. The apparent ending choices are scripted pictures. A rotated fixed-point ADC sampler, alternating-row clear and displaced keyed overlay explain the late credits. Original output matches 6062 stored-picture frames and 961 transition frames in the mapped native capture, with timing limits explicit. Allocation/selector paths and an interior-pointer final-free request are checked. Three exact-colour native clips and two stills replace the old visual-only mechanism inference. - `timeout-epical-analysis.md` - TimeOut by Epical analysis. - `titano-cracktro-analysis.md` - Titano Cracktro by The Dream Team 1990 MS-DOS cracktro analysis with a direct safe opening silent runtime excerpt, Scene.org archive hashes, text-sidecar contact-material boundary, MZ/LZEXE v0.91 carrier, packed-entry depacker map, decoded 8-plane IFF/ILBM `DATA.TDT` backdrop, resource-loader string fragments, lower loader label, red scroller overlay, and video-only publication path. - `titswinkle-lost-in-space-analysis.md` - Titswinkle Lost In Space by Shadow Productions September 1992 64K intro analysis with public Pouet screenshot, timestamped DOSBox-X title/story frames, generated depacked byte map, generated VGA/IRQ/text kernel map, PKLITE-family carrier notes, XOR 49h story text decoding, CRTC/attribute panning, PIT/IRQ scheduler, DAC palette streamer, and stack-fed strip blitter loops. The 2026-07-06 01:22 EEST pass added a bounded runtime-to-code concordance tying the local title frames and public later-playfield screenshot to the XOR story text, fine-pan/CRTC-start loops, retrace-gated scroll loop, DAC palette streamer, erase/copy strip path, unrolled dispatcher, stack-built wave blitter, two-word row copy, and PIT/IRQ keyboard scheduler.

Brigade and The Cat's July 1991 MS-DOS demo-compo winner, recovered from the flat `P.COM`, three NIF banks, and three MODs. The code-first pass closes the exact 60/38/1-frame NIF format and segment rollover, proves the giant magenta form is authored `INTRO.NIF` frame 42 rather than live 3D, reconstructs the 8,315-iteration callback schedule, three lower-strip codecs, eleven fixed 100x60 object streams, palette-history and four-channel meter raster, selective-restore stars, doubled lower page, credits glyph writer, 2,000-frame 40x24 sprite, horizontal display-enable gate, 15.9 kHz PC-speaker PWM mixer, five-phase 50.99 Hz tracker scheduler, MOD-loader displacement, fade, and incomplete hardware restore. Three public Demozoo screenshots are kept distinct from two exact binary-decoded NIF frames; the unmatched triangle in the public player still is explicitly unassigned.

Stinger Cracktro by Miami Cracking Machine source-limited 19 June 1989 MS-DOS multi-renderer cracktro analysis with public Demozoo selector/title stills, a contact-block-redacted exit page, generated EGA/text pipeline map, selector key loop, EGA mode-10h planar memory model, card-table trapezoid span filler, logo/fringe blitter, slanted string model, and final text-page gate. The 2026-07-06 12:00 EEST pass added a bounded visual-to-code concordance tying the existing selector/title/redacted-exit stills and pipeline map to the text-mode selector, EGA mode-10h flying-card renderer, planar span/logo/fringe model, text exit page, and source-limited evidence boundary. - `ultima3-cracktro-esp-analysis.md` - Ultima 3 Cracktro / ESP Load Cracks Version 2.0 by ESP Pirates analysis with masked CGA page reconstruction. - `ultraforce-dentro-analysis.md` - Dentro Demo by Ultra Force analysis. - `ultrawow-ultraforce-analysis.md` - Ultrawow by UltraForce analysis with a screened direct continuous runtime GIF, secondary sampled contact sheet, and end-to-end reconstruction of the 43-phase unpaced compositor: conventional- RAM scratch ownership, generated logo snapshots and strip overlap order, 20-record rotating glyph window, two-width line rasterizer, 20 active shaded vector balls, signed perspective, procedural visible erase, elliptical scratch publication/repair, one-time DAC upload, and deferred key polling. The workload pass adds the exact radius-by-radius stamp table, 1,720 divides per key-poll pass, lifecycle-tight 43-step ball traffic, the radius-one stale erase after clipping, bootstrap scratch residue, high-index logo ownership, overlap asymmetry, the 9,800-word publication envelope, fixed compositor traffic, ring line-call bounds, and complete page/video/runtime cleanup. Last edited 2026-08-25 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; existing media were not altered. - `unleashed-power-analysis.md` - Unleashed Power by Surprise! Productions analysis. - `uneatable-coexistence-analysis.md` - Uneatable by The CoExistence Assembly 1994 PC demo analysis from the complete post-party release and a direct silent run: documented compo truncation after the dungeon, exact 129-record appended directory, eight restored visual children, eight tracker regions, VAM/TCP/SZN production data, and eight continuous runtime GIFs spanning both sides of the historical failure. - `untitled-dust-analysis.md` - Untitled by Dust analysis with a DOSBox-X dungeon runtime still and front-page preview. The 2026-07-06 00:50 EEST pass added a bounded runtime-to-code concordance tying that still to the second-stage loader, `int 80h` archive services, `3D.COM` dungeon traversal, ZPER projection, face culling/lighting/sorting, `POLYFILL.256` edge tables and textured spans, and the 3D copy-and-clear present loop. - `unreal-analysis.md` - Unreal by Future Crew analysis with P5 runtime stills, contact sheet, short GIF clips, and a runtime-to-code/package concordance tying the tunnel/grid GIF to the recovered `part13.exe` mode, palette, and footprint loops while keeping the texture-panel state bounded. - `urgent-pentagon-analysis.md` - Urgent by Pentagon analysis. - `uitgeroeid-analysis.md` - Uitgeroeid by Ground Zero analysis. - `vanity-apathy-analysis.md` - Vanity & Apathy by Doomsday analysis. - `vivid-experiment-analysis.md` - Vivid Experiment by Doomsday Assembly 1996 MS-DOS demo analysis with a full direct video-only DOSBox-X route, explicit source-content boundary for the original NSFW-tagged pin-up/clipart material, Scene.org archive and payload hashes, PMODE/W compressed executable notes, decompressed-image hash, two external FastTracker XM module summaries, embedded position/pattern show-script evidence, 132 internal resource path tokens, and runtime-to-script/resource concordance for the opening cloud text, bitmap effects, water, bump, terrain, Doomsday logo, and end-status stages. Host audio remained dummy/muted during capture, and the published MP4 has no audio stream. - `vecballs-analysis.md` - Vector Balls by Toddl. The 2026-09-17 GPT-6/Astra revision verified 39 original plotter/mover cases, documented offset-selected reverse byte copies and direction-flag handling, clarified fixed sprite dimensions, and corrected codec-1 VOC payloads to 4-bit ADPCM with 47.9482 seconds of decoded samples. Existing images are unchanged. A subsequent unmodified, silent X11/XTest run visits all four objects and verifies Escape through a visible post-process DOS marker, closing the earlier input-delivery gap. Earlier work includes the front-page runtime card using the continuous 3x3x3 cube GIF. The 2026-07-06 13:06 EEST pass added an asset-to-code concordance tying those existing stills to the raw `320*82` logo load into `A000:0000`, 12 visible 16x16 ball tiles in `vecballs.dat`, `vecballs.pal`, `.3DD` object grammar, overlay/debug routine names, CT-VOICE/VOC sound boundary, and the unrolled 15-span ball blitter. The 2026-08-25 correction maps the 1-based Q7 point records, Real48-generated Q14 trig tables and exact X/Y/Z equations; replaces the reversed `*64` projection claim with the real `16300` camera and divide-by-64 path; and proves stable ascending-Z bubble order, exact shade intervals, no clipping, 177-byte span writes, all-zero tile-12 erase, draw-slot history, fast/retrace-paced frame loops and any-key object cycling. Two existing continuous direct no-sound runtime GIFs and both decoded asset sheets remain in the article; media pixels were not changed. The 2026-08-25 follow-up adds the UTC last-edit marker, exact comment/EOF-aware `.3dd` parser and 100-point malformed-input boundary, proves the old/new slot reset asymmetry during object handoff, and closes both duplicated Escape paths through explicit BIOS mode 3, graphics-unit finalization, and Pascal `Halt(0)`. The 2026-08-25 16:12 UTC workload audit further reduces the hot vector path to exact costs: the 27-ball cube performs 378 signed long multiplies, 216 signed divides, 54 long shifts, 702 stable adjacent depth comparisons, 810 span-mover calls, and 9,558 direct A000 writes per frame. Refreshed built-in key-injection probes remained negative delivery tests and are not misrepresented as runtime exit proof. The 2026-08-26 all-angle pass replaces the coarse “below the logo” claim with per-object Q7-radius and perspective-footprint bounds, proves every span remains inside 320x200 for arbitrary inherited angles, identifies rows 77..81 as the raw logo's exact five-row zero guard, resolves the projection divisor to the signed low word of `16300-z`, and separates the steady `30N`-mover/`354N`-byte raster from a non-Escape handoff frame's third erase pass and `45N`/`531N` payload. Last edited 2026-08-26 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`. The 2026-08-26 cadence pass then uses matched 200-poll direct probes to separate the two duplicated loops: normal `N` publishes 199 measured states in exact two-frame runs at 35.043152 Hz, while `N F` produces a distinct framebuffer on every 70.086304 Hz capture sample and exposes the zero-tile erase gap and partial fifteen-span redraw. A five-frame direct contact sequence documents that ownership transition; the two existing GIFs and decoded sheets remain unchanged. - `vectra-physical-crew-analysis.md` - Vectra by The Physical Crew 1991 MS-DOS demo analysis: PKLITE 1.00/l restoration, exact four-region appended package, Q11 Euler matrices, signed perspective division, six structure-of-arrays models, authored-order winding paths, split-bitplane translucency, integer edge walking, masked planar spans, six-page CRTC rotation, selective old-bounds clearing, and timer-delta camera motion. Four continuous uncropped direct-runtime GIFs distinguish the opaque tetra and cube, two-sided colored flag, and actual mode-7 overlap object. No demo audio was auditioned or published. The 2026-08-25 follow-up corrects projection from two to four signed divides per vertex, tabulates all six scenes' fixed matrix/transform/winding costs, derives byte-accurate masked-span traffic, and quantifies six-frames-old four-plane bounding-box cleanup. The deeper 2026-08-25 inner-loop pass authenticates the 21,008-byte restored load image; corrects the asymmetric top/middle/bottom edge-DDA initialization and the aligned one-byte span's second bit-mask OUT; labels the exact displayed-page, draw-page, eight-seeded/six-live dirty-record pipeline; separates object bounds from the fixed text rectangle; and reconstructs fixed-per-frame camera zoom, timer-scaled rotation, the non-chaining INT 9 handler, and the unchecked raster-address boundary. Last edited 2026-08-25 with analysis model `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; all existing media pixels remain unchanged. - `vega-analysis.md` - Vega by Ultra Force's 1990 MS-DOS demo, restored from PKLITE with a reproducible load-image map and a new direct silent runtime capture. The article now traces the raw `.PIC` header/palette/frame layout, permissive `/nosb` parser, CT-VOICE probe/API and four-pass VOC loop, exact 8x8 shaded-glyph builder, hidden right-edge insertion, single flat 2,624-byte strip shift, retrace-edge 2,560-byte VGA publication, per-character and full-message traffic counts, input latency, and cleanup boundaries. One full-frame still and one continuous uncropped GIF show that only guest rows 192..199 move; no demo audio was loaded or auditioned. - `vectordemo-analysis.md` - VectorDemo by Ultra Force 1991 MS-DOS analysis, now deepened from broad VGA primitives into the complete object lifecycle: twelve embedded polygon models, thirteen procedural point selections, Q8 three-axis rotation and perspective, farthest-incident-vertex painter order, screen-space winding cull, scanline stencil shading, exact planar span traffic, marker clipping/stamping, selective old-page and lower-stage repair, retrace presentation, script-driven slide transitions, and cleanup/error handoffs. Two new continuous direct silent GIFs separately prove the metallic stencil bands and the red vector-ball marker path. The earlier `01:12` dotted-trail label was removed because it did not match the pixels. The follow-up vector-ball pass corrects the size/color array labels, closes all 13 point counts, gives exact per-selection multiply/divide totals, and derives the ten atlas footprints plus masked-writer traffic bounds. - `verses-analysis.md` - Verses by Electromotive Force analysis with the original and Revision II Scene.org releases, exact 23-versus-22-entry EMF resource-table comparison, the repacked `double trouble` 8CHN module, a complete 273-second direct silent Revision II run, eight continuous runtime GIFs, and the earlier runtime-to-code concordance for its face warp, PMODE timer, fixed-point mapper, GUS driver, twister and polygon engine. The 2026-09-17 23:21:10 UTC pass replaces the speculative low-resolution affine/radial face-warp account with the actual xwarp loader and two-pass grid renderer. Decodes all 18 authored poses, fixed anchors, eased interpolation and pauses; executes the original updater/map builders and vertical/horizontal resamplers, with two reconstructed pose images showing local widening and pinching. The 2026-09-17 23:30:17 UTC follow-up traces the next routine's screen capture and radial blend of two oscillating rotation angles, including signed-byte product tables and mirrored samples. Adds an original-code whirl reconstruction and corrects misleading AVI captions: 01:58 is already widened, 02:14 is upright, 02:20 is rotated. The 2026-09-17 23:36:52 UTC pass follows that whirl into rotating polygon shutters, the 114-vertex checkerboard ball and vertical-logo background. Adds two original-code reconstructions, authored motion phases and palette ownership; corrects reversed edge-slope axes and the unsupported Gouraud attribution of this flat-colour renderer. - `vertox-taurus-analysis.md` - Vertox by Taurus analysis with the original The Party 1994 archive, direct no-Sound-Blaster DOSBox-X route, 54 KB resident LDS/TMM386/RasterSys/SBM loader, exact 28-record encrypted overlay directory, rolling-XOR recovery, 22 child MZ programs, six high-memory data banks, seventeen privately restored PKLITE stages, and seven continuous direct silent runtime GIFs. - `vicky-space-pigs-analysis.md` - Vicky by The Space Pigs analysis from the two-stage restored payload and a stable direct silent run. A continuous contact-safe cube GIF now leads the article and front-page card; its masked lower historical-text band is disclosed, while the decoded VGA prompt and page-stack stills remain separate setup evidence. The deep vector-object pass recovers four exact point sets, structure-of-arrays transforms, shared signed perspective divisor, all fixed-order faces, quad/eight-slot planar scan conversion, geometry-to-DAC shading, exact per-object arithmetic and edge-slope bounds, the 192x150 hidden-page repair, and the complete two-presentation CRTC dispatcher. The lifecycle pass now separates full realtime-player teardown from the intentional 4,000-byte text-colour TSR. - `virtual-vectors-analysis.md` - Virtual Vectors by Boris Ottlewski analysis with timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots, a frame-derived runtime sequence GIF, and decoded VGA asset sheets. The 2026-07-06 02:15 EEST pass added a bounded runtime-to-code concordance tying startup/text screens, green/orange/vector/textured/flag/multi-object runtime frames, decoded `.DAT` assets, `3DG1` meshes, the packed `dlz0` wrapper, external MOD path, and reconstructed-renderer evidence limits. - `visions-of-light-valhalla-analysis.md` - Visions of Light by Valhalla Assembly 1994 PC demo analysis from the exact release and a complete direct silent run: byte-exact FAT repair of three `FFh`-padded names, launcher- generated DemoVT shell script, exact child-MZ/S3M boundaries, three tracker regions, restored LZEXE DemoVT 1.51 carrier, and eight continuous GIFs. - `wasted-time-analysis.md` - Wasted Time by Paranoids analysis. - `wayfarer-spaceballs-analysis.md` - Wayfarer by Spaceballs analysis from the preserved 1992 disk and one complete 720-second silent A500 run, with seven continuous GIFs, the realtime F-16 and projection-distortion scenes, exact six-batch MFM track schedule, expansion-memory choice, separate end part, and the final left-mouse gate. - `weener-analysis.md` - Weener by Funky Pickles / DarkZone and Gollum analysis. - `wiered-spacestation-analysis.md` - Wiered by SpaceStation analysis. - `wet-dreams-witan-analysis.md` - Wet Dreams by Witan analysis with a decoded asset sheet and direct Part 1/Part 2 runtime stills. The 2026-08-25 deep pass corrects the two raw-page destinations and recovers Part 2's complete visible-page lifecycle: 28 exact horizontal movers in 15/5/8 cadence groups, two-byte color-owned trail/collision behavior, scanline-crossing wrap clear, first-frame background arbitration, 8x12 bobbing red ornament, 21-row glyph injection, 6,400-byte in-place rail shift, timer/error cleanup defects, and the queued-key batch handoff into Part 3. Private rail text remains omitted. - `white-death-thg-analysis.md` - White Death Cracktro by The Humble Guys 24 January 1990 MS-DOS MZ text-card analysis with a public Demozoo frame, generated MZ map, one relocation into the DS setup word, 107 BIOS repeated text-cell writes, six DOS strings, BIOS key gate, `RETF` to `PSP:0000h`, and dead `Start.exe` handoff data boundary. - `wings-fury-thg-analysis.md` - Wings Of Fury Cracktro by The Humble Guys 2 March 1990 MS-DOS COM text-card analysis with a public Demozoo prompt still, generated card reconstruction and pipeline map, 15-byte XOR `45h` decoder, 102 BIOS repeated-cell writes, seven visible DOS strings, BIOS key gate, `dashc.pes` `EXEC` path, and old sidecar contact material omitted. - `white-heat-analysis.md` - White Heat by Pure Resistance 15 April 1995 NAID 1995 100K intro analysis with Scene.org/Demozoo/Pouet identity, restored PKLITE/UNP MZ boundary, external `HEAT.S3M`, AMP/MCP sound stack, Borland-style startup chain, direct Mode 13h helper unit, heat-strip and 200x200 fire solvers, two 3D point/object systems, final palette-shifting text rings, and a 2026-07-06 12:53 EEST static code-path concordance tying those effect claims to the restored call graph. Text-only pass; no media files were generated or touched. - `who-else-can-upgrade-a-robot-analysis.md` - Who Else Can Upgrade a Robot by Orange Abduction 1995 winning MS-DOS/GUS 64K intro analysis with Scene.org archive hashes, PKLITE/depklite payload boundary, embedded title/credit/greets text, GUS ProTracker and `ULTRASND` evidence, Mode 13h/A000h path, RLE image decoder, palette cues, CRTC/retrace/PIT timing notes, public Pouet GIF visual evidence, and runtime-to-code concordance for the red tunnel/warp preview. - `witan-2-analysis.md` - Witan 2 by Witan analysis with a screened direct continuous opening GIF and secondary decoded reconstruction. The deep pass includes a complete steady-frame ledger and recovers the exact erase/update/fixed-order opaque-sprite path, unsafe first erase, black high-index row field, three seven-color palette windows and retrace-active DAC cadence, 256-frame text delay, five-frame 8x8 writer, unreachable equality wrap, one-scanline-per-40-glyph overlapping VRAM drift, and first- glyph-only eight-row clear. The 2026-08-25 follow-up corrects command 5 to a never-polled status word, decodes the 8 kHz 4-bit ADPCM block to 121,145 samples/15.143125 seconds, documents the packaged command-6 anomaly and nonzero dual-use failure flags, and closes exact key and command-9/video/DOS cleanup. Existing media remain byte-for-byte unchanged and no audio was auditioned. - `x14-analysis.md` - X14 by Orange: all thirteen main entries now have their resources, original loops and controls recovered. The final planar sculpture matches complete VGA backing and 378 held native frames; its word-sized exit test fails the normal mirrored order-59 transition. Earlier passes reproduce the text-buffer overrun and correct the two RIX layouts. Eighteen scene GIFs and a verified finale still accompany the analysis. Three eleventh-part RGB frames now match measured mixtures of original plane-copy states. The eight-scanline boundary is observed, not timing-predicted; the early unmatched state and history gaps remain. - `xerox-xmas-91-analysis.md` - Xmas '91 by Xerox analysis. The 2026-08-25 direct silent restored-executable run reaches normal DOS/host-status-0 return with a native six-state sequence and full-frame main-loop/ending GIFs. The pass corrects the old 13-byte-RIX claim to standard resource-relative `+000Ah/+030Ah` offsets, regenerates the formerly three-byte-shifted source atlas, and distinguishes the live RIX1-pixels/RIX3-palette composition from its source pages. Inner-loop corrections close the 5,756-byte band shift, fixed `2x17` edge insertion, 2,520-record/840-frame sphere-path cycle, all- records-per-frame 30/50/60 particle kernel, one-byte-early ending rows, and cumulative in-place fade that becomes visibly black after 24 of its 128 retraces. The packed carrier's illegal-instruction stub remains explicit; the hash-recorded UNP restoration supplies the direct run. Sound used the executable's own no-sound branch and was never monitored or auditioned. - `xmas-92-phoney-coders-analysis.md` - Xmas '92 by The Phoney Coders analysis rebuilt from the original Swedish multipart release. The untouched loader proves setup, child order, final credits, and natural DOS return; fresh-process child runs avoid its stale-Escape skip quirk and directly cover every substantive scene. Six continuous GIFs show the title/floppy, banner/starfield, 3D object, bob field, picture/floor, and credits, tied to the four-plane loaders, CRTC flips, sprite stamps, palette morphs, viewport copier, and Zax stages. No audio or H.264/MP4 media is published. - `xmas-93-dante-analysis.md` - X Mas 93 by Dante analysis. - `xmas-93-yodel-analysis.md` - X'mas 93 by Yodel analysis with a 2026-07-06 16:01:36 EEST runtime-capture boundary concordance tying the partial DOSBox-X 720x400-to-640x400 capture transition to the packed real-mode expanded MZ, shipped 8-byte config route, embedded MOD, and direct VGA/audio hardware marker evidence. No screenshots are published because the second ZMBV segment aborted before decodable effect frames. - `xtal-analysis.md` - Xtal by Finnish group Complex Media Labs, 1995: authenticated archive, complete original-executable run through MIDAS's native No Sound device, natural return to DOS, custom 50 Hz VGA timing, PMODE/W/MIDAS setup, texture/tunnel scheduler analysis, and direct runtime-to-code concordance. Six continuous direct-runtime GIFs are published; no audio or H.264/MP4 media. - `yardemo-analysis.md` - Yardemo by Renaissance analysis with a frame-derived runtime sequence GIF, timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames, contact sheet, clean-DOS helper notes, dual XOR MZ loader layers, relocated LZ bitstream unpacker, VGA/386/V86/memory preflight, logo/text/vertical bar runtime model, and a 2026-07-06 01:51 EEST bounded runtime-to-code concordance separating recovered delivery/preflight code from the protected-mode logo/bar/text runtime model. - `yo-analysis.md` - yo! by Future Crew analysis with a frame-derived public title/scroller runtime sequence GIF and timestamped DOSBox-X runtime screenshots. The 2026-07-06 01:48 EEST pass added a runtime-to-code concordance tying the visible title/scroller phases to the Microsoft C entry, text/VGA install, plane-2 font banks, `E7B1` frame worker, font-byte scrollers, DAC palette uploads, CRTC panning, B800h buffer swaps, VU meter, starfield/object cells, and omitted private-contact boundary. The 2026-08-25 follow-up quantifies the 2x2 object's per-cell draw/repair flags, the 16-star loop's 32 ownership reads and speed-dependent 80-cell lifetime, the fixed 656-byte background shift and 16-word column feed, and the VU renderer's 240 character-byte writes. Analysis model: `gpt-5.5 xhigh, sol high`; existing media were not changed. - `you-am-i-you-am-the-robot-analysis.md` - You Am I You Am The Robot by Orange analysis with direct public-video GIF/still evidence, RNC1/MZ carrier notes, clean 451,582-byte expanded-runtime hash, protected-mode bootstrap strings, GUS/SB/no-sound selector evidence, `ULTRASND`/Gravis strings, visible Robot text blocks, DAC/retrace/PIT code anchors, full-frame buffer loops, and runtime-to-code concordance for the particle text, tunnel feedback, float tunnel, and full-screen feedback vocabulary. - `yersinia-pestis-analysis.md` - Yersinia Pestis by tArzAn tuotanto, a code-first analysis of the July 1995 Juhla 2½ MS-DOS demo: two restored MZ packing layers, decoded XLink/XLC filesystem, S3M order/row dispatcher, complete controller map, repeated Q7 transform/project/sort engines, planar one-bit checker, temporal averaging and palette-bank decay, 100-record X-wing particle system, adjacency-generated landscape normals, spatial four-neighbour antialias loop, packed-dword logo feedback, and bounded direct-runtime concordance. Three continuous GIFs and four stills are used as secondary mechanism evidence. - `zaxxon-graffiti-analysis.md` - Zaxxon Graffiti by faked public domain source-limited 1984 MS-DOS cracktro analysis with public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, palette measurements, and generated layout map, plus a front-page still card using those direct images. - `zakje-plasmatat-analysis.md` - Zakje Plasmatat by Frituur Kraam analysis. - `zif-parallax-analysis.md` - ZIF by Parallax, the Finnish winner of the Assembly 1995 Amiga demo competition: authenticated byte-identical payloads from two public archives, complete direct silent A1200 run through the continuing end composition, fifteen-part HUNK loader architecture, batched segment lifetime, vertical-blank deadlines, direct copper/raster ownership, 68020 surface-point renderer, P61A replay boundary, and six distinct continuous direct-runtime GIFs. - `zweilight-zone-capacala-analysis.md` - Zweilight Zone by Capacala Assembly 1995 PC demo analysis with public Demozoo screenshot stills, a 1 Hz screenshot-sequence GIF, archive/result hashes, PKLITE/CapaLoad/CEM/MIDAS loader boundary, S3M module evidence, and a documented silent DOSBox-X startup-menu boundary. Supporting files: - `index.html` - static homepage for the hosted copy. - `*.html` - rendered pages generated from the Markdown sources. - `*.md` - raw Markdown/text sources linked from the rendered pages. - `images/` - generated or copied image assets. - `images/8088-mph-newcga-optimal-calibration.png` - final-archive new-CGA calibration reference image for the 8088 MPH analysis. - `images/8088-mph-oldcga-optimal-calibration.png` - final-archive old-CGA calibration reference image for the 8088 MPH analysis. - `images/8088-mph-pipeline-map.png` - generated hardware pipeline map for the 8088 MPH analysis. - `images/8088-mph-real-hardware-still-001.png` ... `images/8088-mph-real-hardware-still-015.png` - source-order real-hardware reference stills from Trixter's screen-by-screen 8088 MPH write-up. - `images/8088-mph-real-hardware-sequence.gif` - five-frame source-order real-hardware preview GIF for the 8088 MPH analysis, assembled directly from same-size `1080x720` stills and not presented as a DOSBox timing capture. The 2026-07-06 02:20 EEST pass added concordance text only; no 8088 MPH media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/abc-monday-night-football-text-page.png` and `images/abc-monday-night-football-loader-map.png` - decoded TheDraw B800h text page and generated display-stub map for the ABC Monday Night Football Cracktro by International Network of Crackers analysis. - `images/after-burner-2-inc-demozoo-redacted.png` and `images/after-burner-2-inc-source-boundary-map.png` - redacted public Demozoo EGA-style frame and generated source-boundary map for the After Burner 2 by International Network of Crackers source-limited analysis. - `images/atmosphere-stonearts-*.gif` - six continuous excerpts from the complete direct silent Atmosphere runtime: opening artwork, successive logos, sliced purple cube, red solid, nested triangular vector field and articulated bar ribbon.

The 2026-08-24 source-and-visual correction changed commentary, not pixels; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/second-reality-runtime-*.png` and `images/second-reality-runtime-*-motion.gif` - legacy 640x400 part-3 runtime stills and clips retained in the repository but no longer embedded in the article. - `images/sinus-scroll-runtime-*.png` - timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames for the Sinus Scroll Demo by The Brain Slayer analysis at `00:02.000` through `00:25.000`. - `images/sinus-scroll-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the Sinus Scroll Demo by The Brain Slayer analysis. - `images/sinus-scroll-runtime-sine-motion.gif` - native 640x400 DOSBox-X capture slice showing the yellow sine scroller and save-background renderer. The 2026-07-05 23:47 EEST pass added runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/sonic-demo-a-demozoo.png` - public Demozoo 640x480 screenshot for the Sonic Demo A by Sonic Inc. analysis. - `images/sonic-demo-a-loader-map.png` - generated MZ loader, `V001` container, SVGA detection, banked `A000h`, and effect-script map retained as an older project artifact. The 2026-08-25 correction found that its relocation count, framebuffer size, VBE path and callback ownership were wrong, so it is no longer published in the article or front-page card. - `images/sonic-demo-a-runtime-bank-reveal.gif` - continuous native 640x480 direct silent ET4000 capture of the exact `LOAD/G` to `M640/G` transition and column reconstruction. - `images/sonic-demo-a-runtime-main-00-15-000.png` - exact native 640x480 direct silent ET4000 frame at 00:15, showing the stable `M640/G` image and the independently composited upper-right rolling strip. - `images/sorcerian-thg-*.png` - public Pouet starfield still, public Demozoo/Scene.org exit-prompt still, and generated carrier/data map for the Sorcerian Cracktro by The Humble Guys analysis. - `images/spacedemo-codeblasters-runtime-main.gif` - continuous direct silent main-screen excerpt showing the planar glyph scroller and XOR starfield for the Spacedemo by The CodeBlasters analysis. - `images/spacedemo-codeblasters-runtime-credits.gif` - one exact 1,000-phase source cycle of the direct silent hardware-scrolled credits viewport, retained as 500 every-second-phase frames at approximately 35 fps. - `images/spacedemo-codeblasters-precomputed-credits-strip.png` - byte-exact 320x800 reconstruction of the two embedded planar credits sources; this is a generated source decode, not a runtime screenshot. - `images/syllabization-tarzan-demozoo-01.png`, `images/syllabization-tarzan-public-*.gif`, and `images/syllabization-tarzan-public-*.png` - public Demozoo still plus public-video GIF/still references for the Syllabization by tArzAn tuotanto / tAAt Assembly 1995 analysis. No MP4/H.264 media is published. - `images/takeover-direct-*.gif` - six eight-second, 480x300, eight-fps continuous clips from the complete interactive silent DOSBox-X/FFV1 traversal of Takeover by Epical: opening, luminous shapes, dot surface, shadevector, credits, and animated endless end tableau. They contain no audio and are not diagnostic contact sheets. - `images/starport-bbs-1-runtime-*.png`, `images/starport-bbs-1-runtime-contact.png`, and `images/starport-bbs-1-runtime-logo-station.gif` - cropped DOSBox-X runtime frames/contact sheet and station/logo motion clip for the StarPort BBS by Future Crew analysis. The 2026-07-06 02:17 EEST pass added bounded concordance text only; no StarPort BBS 1 media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/tbs1-bbs-hacks-runtime-*.png` - timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames for the BBS Hack's by The Brain Slayer analysis at `00:01.000` through `00:14.000`, with the old-contact tail frame omitted. - `images/tbs1-bbs-hacks-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the BBS Hack's by The Brain Slayer analysis, excluding the old-contact tail frame. The 2026-07-06 11:54 EEST concordance pass used the existing frames/contact sheet as evidence only; it did not regenerate, crop, pad, resize, or otherwise touch them. - `images/spdemo1-space-pigs-decoded-bild.png` - decoded `BILD.PCM` still for the Demo 1 by The Space Pigs analysis. - `images/megademo-space-pigs-pouet-title.png`, `images/megademo-space-pigs-pouet-logo.png`, `images/megademo-space-pigs-pouet-hard-scroll.png`, and `images/megademo-space-pigs-pouet-vectorballs.png` - unchanged 320x200 public Pouet reference stills for the Megademo by The Space Pigs analysis. These are explicitly not DOSBox runtime captures, not cropped or padded, and are used only as visual anchors until the setup/part-chain runtime capture is fixed. - `videos/megademo-2-bizzar-runtime-silent.mp4` and `images/megademo-2-bizzar-runtime-direct.gif` - silent direct no-input Megademo 2 by Bizzar runtime evidence. The MP4 covers the first 130 seconds through the held credit page; the GIF is a continuous untiled title/effect excerpt for the card. A longer local diagnostic capture confirms the no-input route remains held at the credit page through six minutes. - `images/spdemo2-space-pigs-pcm-reconstructed.png` - reconstructed planar logo still for the Spdemo2 / Demo 2 by The Space Pigs analysis. - `images/spdemo2-space-pigs-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the Spdemo2 / Demo 2 by The Space Pigs analysis. - `images/spdemo3-space-pigs-rle-screen.png` - reconstructed RLE screen still for the Demo 3 by The Space Pigs analysis. - `images/spheres-vga-kernel-map.png` - generated static-analysis map of the VGA kernel paths in the Spheres by Skull analysis. - `images/spy-hunter-cracktro-demozoo.png` and `images/spy-hunter-cracktro-loader-map.png` - public Demozoo screenshot and generated 256-byte loader map for the Spy Hunter Cracktro by Mr. Fixit analysis. Not animated because the 256-byte loader splash is static. - `images/spy-hunter-imperial-demozoo-masked.png` and `images/spy-hunter-imperial-loader-map.png` - masked title-page screenshot and generated loader map for the 1985 Spy Hunter Cracktro by Imperial Warlords analysis. - `images/sphinx-ultraforce-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the Sphinx by UltraForce analysis. The 2026-08-25 deep pass retains this earlier direct silent capture unchanged. - `images/sphinx-ultraforce-source-patch-contact.png` - exact decoded comparison of Sphinx's raw U4C source page and all four opaque 68x33 FNT lower-face/mouth replacement frames. - `images/ultrawow-ultraforce-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the Ultrawow by UltraForce analysis; retained as a secondary sampled-state composite rather than timing evidence. - `images/ultrawow-ultraforce-runtime-08-18.gif` - screened, continuous, uncropped 640x400 direct DOSBox-X `00:08..00:18` excerpt for the Ultrawow analysis and front-page card. It has 100 frames at 10 fps, ends before old contact material, and contains no audio. - `images/stargate-graffiti-*.png` - public Demozoo screenshot, reduced 320x200 logical frame, and generated layout map for the Stargate Graffiti source-limited 1984 cracktro analysis. - `images/star-glider-2-cracktro-text-page.png` and `images/star-glider-2-cracktro-loader-map.png` - decoded TheDraw B800h text page and generated COM/batch handoff map for the Star Glider 2 Cracktro by International Network of Crackers analysis. - `images/strike-eagle-2-tuc-demozoo.png`, `images/strike-eagle-2-tuc-decoded-page.png`, and `images/strike-eagle-2-tuc-loader-map.png` - public Demozoo still, decoded TheDraw text page, and generated 23-row COM loader map for the Strike Eagle 2 Cracktro by The Underground Council analysis. - `images/startrek-authentic-audio-runtime-title.png` - untiled direct runtime title frame for the Star Trek by Authentic Audio front-page card and article. - `images/startrek-authentic-audio-runtime-sequence.png` - article-only direct runtime sheet showing the title, Picard, Worf, Riker, Geordi, and Data states at exact stable timestamps from the complete silent run. - `images/startrek-authentic-audio-runtime-contact.png` - older DOSBox-X setup contact sheet retained only as startup/audio-probe evidence; it is no longer the front-page preview or presented as evidence of the later visual sequence. - `images/spam4kb-runtime-00-05-000.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frame for the Spam4kb by Tobo analysis. - `images/spam4kb-runtime-00-23-000.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frame for the Spam4kb by Tobo analysis. - `images/spam4kb-runtime-sequence.gif` - sparse runtime phase GIF assembled directly from the Spam4kb by Tobo DOSBox-X frames. Keep it direct from the existing frame/video evidence; do not crop, pad, resize, or rebuild it unless replacing it from new direct DOSBox/video frames. - `images/stoned-runtime-00-40-000.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frame for the Stoned by Dust analysis. - `images/stoned-runtime-01-10-000.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frame for the Stoned by Dust analysis. - `images/stoned-runtime-sequence.gif` - sparse runtime phase GIF assembled directly from the Stoned by Dust DOSBox-X frames. Keep it direct from the existing frame/video evidence; do not crop, pad, resize, or rebuild it unless replacing it from new direct DOSBox/video frames. - `images/stunter-cracktro-runtime-*.png` and `videos/stunter-cracktro-runtime-excerpt-silent.mp4` - keyed post-gate direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 runtime evidence for Stunter Cracktro by The Dream Team. Host audio was dummy/muted, DOS sound devices were disabled, and the 26.000000-second 720x540 H.264 MP4 has no audio stream. The initial contact-heavy text gate is not published. - `images/stunts-inc-cracktro-decoded-page.png` and `videos/stunts-inc-cracktro-runtime-silent.mp4` - exact CP437/B800h reconstruction and short direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 runtime smoke for Stunts Cracktro by International Network of Crackers. Host audio was dummy/muted, DOS sound devices were disabled, and the 2.983008-second 720x400 H.264 MP4 has no audio stream. - `images/stars-runtime-*` - DOSBox-X/Xvfb runtime contact sheet, stills, and short GIF clips for the Stars: Wonders of the World by NoooN analysis. The 2026-07-05 23:07 EEST pass added runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/tsp-xmas-91-logo-ilbm.png` and `images/tsp-xmas-91-main-ilbm.png` - decoded `320x256` Santa and greeting/logo ILBM source sheets for the Xmas '91 by The Space Pigs analysis. - `images/tsp-xmas-91-runtime-direct.png`, `images/tsp-xmas-91-runtime-sequence.png`, and `images/tsp-xmas-91-runtime-santa-scroller.gif` - untouched full native DOSBox-X graphics frames and four-second motion evidence for the live three-pose page selector, Swedish text kernel, lower strip, and snow repair loop. No frame was cropped, padded, or resized. - `images/tu-player-v1-runtime.gif` - continuous direct, silent `00:04.000..00:10.000` DOSBox-X excerpt from the exact TU Player V1.0 release, reduced by exact 2x nearest-neighbour sampling to 320x200. It shows the Gothic CRTC strip, entering columns, moving bars, and palette pulses and is the untiled front-page preview. - `images/tu-player-v1-pouet.png` - unmodified 320x200 public Pouet still of the `The Untouchables` scroll interval. - `images/tu-player-v1-decoded-font.png` and `images/tu-player-v1-decoded-background.png` - exact 320x200 indexed-resource decodes from the two packed `TU.DAT` streams, coloured with the release's embedded 6-bit VGA palette. They prove separate font-atlas and static skull/UT ownership and are not emulator screenshots. - `images/textmode-unlimited-hitech-runtime-*` - direct, uncropped native 720x400 DOSBox-X frames, a labeled nine-frame contact sheet, and a 12 fps motion excerpt covering the two random clears, smoothed text-fire field, and final table reveals. The two selected stills also appear on the front-page card. - `images/textmode-unlimited-hitech-b800-contact.png` - compact CP437 visualization decoded from the two 4,000-word B800 tables embedded in `TU.EXE`; it is a data projection rather than an emulator screenshot. - `images/textmode-unlimited-hitech-code-map.svg` - generated routine, phase, and exact nested-retrace-budget map for the Textmode Unlimited analysis. - `images/titswinkle-lost-in-space-pouet.png` - copied public Pouet screenshot for the Titswinkle Lost In Space by Shadow Productions analysis. - `images/titswinkle-lost-in-space-runtime-*.png` and `images/titswinkle-lost-in-space-runtime-contact.png` - timestamped DOSBox-X title/story frames and contact sheet for the Titswinkle Lost In Space analysis. - `images/titswinkle-lost-in-space-byte-map.png` and `images/titswinkle-lost-in-space-vga-kernels.png` - generated depacked raw-image byte map and VGA/IRQ/text kernel map for the Titswinkle Lost In Space analysis. The 2026-07-06 Titswinkle concordance pass used the existing public, runtime, and diagnostic media as evidence only and left it byte-for-byte untouched. - `images/torso-demozoo-*.png` - three unmodified 960x720 public Demozoo screenshots covering Torso's CD-player, magenta authored-object, and Bart credits scenes. - `images/torso-intro-nif-frame-42.png` and `images/torso-cd-nif-frame-04.png` - exact 320x200 indexed-colour decodes from the authenticated `INTRO.NIF` and `CD.NIF` files. They are binary reconstructions rather than emulator captures. - `images/tyo-final-demo-demozoo-contact.png` and `images/tyo-final-demo-demozoo-*.png` - public Demozoo screenshot contact sheet and individual archival stills for The Final by The Yellow Ones. - `images/tyo-final-direct-*.gif` - six continuous excerpts from the complete original silent-launcher route through The Final. They are direct external DOSBox-X captures spanning all five child executables and the natural DOS return; no audio or H.264/MP4 derivative is published. - `images/tyo-xmas-92-demozoo-runtime.png`, `images/tyo-xmas-92-title-pcx.png`, and `images/tyo-xmas-92-village-pcx.png` - public runtime screenshot plus decoded title and winter-village PCX stills for the Xmas '92 by The Yellow Ones analysis and front-page card; not animated because local capture did not reach a usable temporal sequence. The 2026-07-06 TYO Xmas concordance pass used these existing images as evidence only and left them byte-for-byte untouched. - `images/untitled-dust-runtime-00-55-000.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frame for the Untitled by Dust analysis. The 2026-07-06 00:50 EEST pass added text analysis only; this media file was not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/vivid-experiment-runtime-*.png` and `videos/vivid-experiment-runtime-silent.mp4` - direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 runtime evidence for Vivid Experiment by Doomsday. The selected stills avoid explicit source frames and cover opening text, abstract grid/heart/water sections, bump/terrain/cloud stages, the Doomsday logo, and the internal end status screen. The MP4 is a 401.390840-second, 640x480, H.264, video-only transcode of the full direct route; the raw DOSBox-X capture had an internal audio stream and is not published. - `images/vicky-space-pigs-runtime-cube.gif` - 100-frame, 10 fps continuous direct silent DOSBox-X excerpt from graphics time `00:57..01:07` for Vicky by The Space Pigs. The 640x480 cube field is uncropped; bottom output rows `432..479` are masked with a near-black two-value dither to omit scrolling historical text, and that edit is disclosed in the article. It is the first front-page preview. - `images/vicky-space-pigs-decoded-page-2c05-0000.png` and `images/vicky-space-pigs-decoded-pages.png` - decoded single page still and decoded VGA page-stack contact sheet for Vicky. These remain reconstructed setup assets, not playback frames; the prompt page is the secondary card preview behind the direct cube GIF. - `images/vecballs-logo-raw.png` and `images/vecballs-ball-tiles.png` - decoded raw logo strip and shaded ball tile sheet for the Vector Balls by Toddl analysis; these remain static asset evidence and are no longer used as the front-page preview. - `images/vecballs-runtime-pc-object.gif` and `images/vecballs-runtime-cube.gif` - continuous direct no-sound DOSBox-X excerpts proving the live transform and painter order in Vector Balls. The cube excerpt is the front-page preview; neither GIF was regenerated or altered during the 2026-08-25 correction. - `images/vecballs-fast-loop-erase-redraw.png` - five consecutive native 70.086304 Hz direct fast-route framebuffer snapshots at `00:00.770` through `00:00.828`. They show residual old-ball spans, the exact all-erased gap, partial new painter-queue output, and completed balls, directly matching the zero-tile erase then fifteen-span redraw order recovered from the code. - `images/vectordemo-runtime-*.png` - DOSBox-X runtime frames for the VectorDemo by Ultra Force analysis. - `images/vectordemo-runtime-sequence.gif` - frame-derived sparse part overview sequence for the VectorDemo by Ultra Force analysis. The 2026-07-05 23:33 EEST pass added runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/vectordemo-direct-stencil-zoom.gif` and `images/vectordemo-direct-vector-balls.gif` - continuous, uncropped six-second direct silent DOSBox-X excerpts added on 2026-08-25. The first shows a metallic polygon rotating through the screen-Y stencil gradient; the second shows transformed red point markers orbiting and crossing the gold object. - `images/verses-bill-*.png` and `images/verses-bill-avi-contact.png` - public AVI-reference Bill Gates quote/face-warp frames for the Verses by Electromotive Force analysis at `01:52.000` through `02:20.000`. - `images/verses-bill-face-warp.gif` - six-frame `512x384` face-warp GIF for the Verses by Electromotive Force analysis, assembled directly from the same-size public AVI-reference frames. The 2026-07-06 00:24 EEST pass added text analysis only; these public AVI-derived media files were not regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/virtual-vectors-runtime-*.png` - timestamped DOSBox-X runtime frames for the Virtual Vectors by Boris Ottlewski analysis. - `images/virtual-vectors-runtime-contact.png` - DOSBox-X runtime contact sheet for the Virtual Vectors analysis. - `images/virtual-vectors-runtime-sequence.gif` - frame-derived runtime sequence GIF for the Virtual Vectors analysis. The 2026-07-06 02:15 EEST pass added bounded runtime-to-code concordance text only; no Virtual Vectors media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/virtual-vectors-dat-contact.png` - decoded VGA `.DAT` asset contact sheet for the Virtual Vectors analysis. - `images/wet-dreams-witan-decoded-assets.png`, `images/wet-dreams-witan-runtime-head.png`, and `images/wet-dreams-witan-part2-movers.png` - public-safe decoded asset sheet, direct Part 1 head frame, and direct text-free Part 2 frame. The front-page card now uses the Part 2 still so the picture matches the deep mover/rail analysis. The retained capture has only sparse safe stills, so no synthetic motion GIF was made; later samples containing private rail text remain unpublished. - `images/white-death-thg-demozoo.png` and `images/white-death-thg-flow-map.png` - public Demozoo colour-bar frame and generated MZ text-card map for the White Death Cracktro by The Humble Guys analysis. - `images/super-television-runtime-*` - direct full-frame native opening GIF and credit still, plus the bowl/checkerboard and STV-logo contraction GIFs and a direct native logo still, plus two stored-animation GIFs and a masked ending-card still, fiery-feedback GIF/still, and texture-gradient GIF with normal/ending stills, plus two picture-card pulse GIFs and a skull-card still, plus a television-text diffusion GIF and stationary/moving stills, recorded 2026-09-20. Exact RGB checks preserve the 640×400 capture. Opening and bowl clips each have 71 samples/2.03 seconds; the logo entry clip has 106 samples/3.02 seconds, as do the fiery-feedback, texture-gradient and television-text clips. Each stored-animation clip has 71 samples/2.03 seconds, as do both picture-card pulse clips. - `images/super-television-feedback-seed.png` - original resource 14 intensity artwork displayed in grayscale to explain the fixed input to feedback; this is an archive-data visualization, not a native frame. - Earlier `images/super-television-*.png` - direct RIX3 archive-resource decodes for the Super Television by Orange analysis, including a contact sheet, title stack, portrait, statue, tunnel/ball, and STV logo stills. - `images/super-television-public-*` - public-video direct time-slice contact sheet and GIFs for Super Television by Orange, sourced from `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t3gjGrqMwo`. These are scaled for page weight only and use no crop, pad, browser screenshot, viewport correction, or lightbox step. The earlier recorder failure was superseded by a complete 2026-09-20 native capture; these older assets remain public-video evidence. The 2026-07-06 00:20 EEST pass normalized the existing video-backed bridge as runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/deesbab-video-*.gif`, `images/deesbab-video-*.jpg`, and `images/deesbab-pouet.png` - direct 320x200 public DOSBox AVI GIF/still slices plus the verified public Pouet screenshot for the Deesbab by Orange analysis. The video-derived assets keep the source canvas and use no crop, pad, browser screenshot, viewport correction, or lightbox step. The 2026-07-06 00:08 EEST pass normalized the existing video-backed bridge as runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/megablast-video-*.gif`, `images/megablast-rix-*.png`, `images/megablast-pouet.jpg`, and `images/megablast-plasti3d-pcx.png` - public-video GIF slices and direct archive/Pouet stills for the Megablast by Orange analysis and front-page card; the GIFs are full-canvas slices from the public WebM linked on Pouet because the local DOSBox-X recorder crashes at the graphics switch. The 2026-07-05 11:24 pass adds effect-level analysis of the grain masks, circuit compositor, burst fields, additive object, wire cells, checker tunnel, and edge-lit blob rather than treating the assets as mere pictures. The 2026-07-05 11:48 pass adds the missing function-level disassembly layer: extracted LE object hashes, music-stage dispatcher, PCX/RLE decoder, mode/palette/framebuffer helpers, remapper/byte-field routines, sine phase updates, and FPU geometry anchors. The 2026-07-05 20:13 EEST pass adds a video-to-code concordance section mapping visible public-video families to the recovered music-stage dispatcher, PCX/RIX paths, remappers, byte-field generators, sine phases, and FPU geometry builders. - `images/robot-orange-video-*.gif` and `images/robot-orange-pouet.gif` - public-video GIF slices and verified Pouet still for the Robot by Orange analysis and front-page card; local DOSBox-X reached only the GUS/nosound setup prompt even after queued no-sound keyboard input, so runtime motion is sourced from the public MP4 linked on Pouet. The 2026-07-05 16:26 pass adds the missing video-part analysis and ties the text cards, wire/web geometry, radial tunnel/feedback field, mirrored texture, and logo/music cards to the 405 KB depklite body, `GUS Port` prompt, `reobot.mod`, `8CHN`, and VGA/retrace/DAC/CRTC/A000h constants. The 2026-07-05 23:22 EEST pass added video-to-evidence concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `images/project-angel-*.gif` and `images/project-angel-preview.png` - six continuous 15 fps direct-runtime GIF excerpts plus one static front-page preview from the complete silent DOSBox-X/FFV1 Project Angel run. - `images/project-xyz-direct-*.gif` - six continuous excerpts from the complete direct silent Project XYZ run: opening cards, blown texture field, Motion Blur distortion, illustrated composition, spiral lattice, and face/history treatment. No audio or H.264/MP4 derivative is published. - `images/project-xyz-video-*.png`, `images/project-xyz-blur-names.gif`, `images/project-xyz-spiral-*.gif`, and `images/project-xyz-pouet.gif` - preserved legacy public-reference extracts from the earlier blocked-runtime pass; the current article and front-page card no longer embed them. - `images/project-xyz-data-pcx.png` - decoded 320x200 `DATA.DAT` PCX used by the Project XYZ analysis. - `images/putre-faction-direct-reflections.gif` - continuous 100-frame, ten-second direct silent DOSBox-X excerpt from Putre Faction P2. It shows the stored SKULL page, 36-record reflection replay, paired fixed/displaced planar sprites, text/CRTC motion, and palette sequencing; it is not presented as vector-ball footage. - `images/television-orange-*.gif` and `images/television-orange-*.png` - Television by Orange public-video direct 480x360 GIF/still extracts and contact sheet for the Television analysis and front-page card. The local DOSBox-X attempt was blocked before DOS startup by missing X11/Xvfb, so the MP4-derived assets are explicitly labeled as public-video evidence. The 2026-07-05 23:18 EEST pass added bounded video-to-package concordance text only; the 2026-07-06 01:28 EEST pass added the article-level runtime-to-code boundary text. No media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched in either pass. - `images/titano-cracktro-*.png` and `videos/titano-cracktro-runtime-excerpt-silent.mp4` - direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 safe opening runtime stills, decoded square-pixel `DATA.TDT` ILBM backdrop, and 9.200000-second 720x540 H.264 MP4 excerpt for Titano Cracktro by The Dream Team. Host audio was dummy/muted, DOS sound devices were disabled, and the published MP4 has no audio stream. Later contact-bearing scroller frames are not published. - `images/toasted-runtime-*.png` and `videos/toasted-runtime-silent.mp4` - direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 runtime evidence for Toasted by Cubic Team and $eeN. The stills cover setup, colour voxel, distortion, demon, ground coaster, space coaster, toast outro, and authored end states. The MP4 is a 451.184729-second, 640x480, H.264, video-only transcode of the direct route; the raw DOSBox-X capture had an internal audio stream and is not published. - `images/toppler-inc-cracktro-runtime-*.png` and `videos/toppler-inc-cracktro-runtime-excerpt-silent.mp4` - direct DOSBox-X 2026.01.02 runtime stills and 24.000000-second 640x480 H.264 MP4 excerpt for Toppler Cracktro by International Network of Crackers.

The sequence preserves six states across `.000`, `.002`, `.004`, and `.006`; the GIF shows `.004`'s upper-text/start-address/palette motion. Frames were extracted from the native DOSBox-X AVI without cropping, padding, or resizing. - `images/skyhawks-xmas-91-decoded-stills.png` - earlier decoded planar source sheet retained as resource-to-code evidence for the same analysis; it is no longer used as a substitute for direct runtime playback. - `images/xerox-xmas-91-runtime-sequence.png`, `images/xerox-xmas-91-runtime-main.png`, `images/xerox-xmas-91-runtime-main.gif`, and `images/xerox-xmas-91-runtime-ending-reveal.gif` - direct native full-frame evidence from one complete silent Xerox Xmas '91 run.

The 2026-07-06 00:14 EEST pass normalized the existing video-backed bridge as bounded runtime-to-code concordance text only; no media was regenerated, cropped, padded, resized, or touched. - `tool-demo.md` / `tool-demo.html` - short public demo of the analysis tools and workflow. Local Codex transcript logs are intentionally ignored because they can contain chat text, credentials, and deployment details that do not belong in git. ## Method The analyses combine public production metadata, archive inspection, binary layout notes, static disassembly, and runtime captures where practical. They are not source-level reconstructions unless explicitly stated in a file. For DOS productions, the workflow usually involved unpacking archives, inspecting MZ/EXE structure, running under DOSBox-X when useful, carving guest RAM, and disassembling recovered code. For the N64 intro, the workflow used V64 to Z64 byte-order conversion and direct MIPS/N64 hardware register inspection. ## Process Notes - Extra low-priority side issues should be deferred instead of interrupting the current analysis. - Small local repository edits should be kept fast. Separate local edit time from network deploy and live verification time. - Sub-agents may be used whenever parallel analysis will materially deepen or cross-check a pass, including archive/source research, disassembly and inner-loop reconstruction, runtime sequencing, and image-to-effect ownership checks. Keep the main analysis moving locally, reconcile their evidence against the artifacts, and let the main pass own the final conclusions. - Keep each finished demo analysis in its own focused commit, then back up and deploy that commit before continuing to the next demo. - Runtime effect descriptions should include observed playback timestamps when a DOSBox or DOSBox-X run is practical. State emulator version, timing zero, capture method, and timing resolution so the sequence can be recreated. - Every new visible work-log/update entry must include an exact local timestamp with timezone, not just a date. Use EEST/UTC offsets consistently so the homepage and work log make the newest changes obvious. - Use short inline GIFs when motion, timing, or interaction is the evidence, especially for tunnels, color-cycle/palette loops, wipes, scrollers, rotating/bouncing objects, or input gates where still frames hide the behavior. Keep clips short and targeted; stills remain preferable for static composition or code-to-frame references. Do not depend on separate click-through video links for the main visual evidence. - If article text already embeds and explains the relevant generated assets, a redundant bottom "files added" list is optional and can be skipped. - The front-page typed filter should jump to the best-ranked matching writeup after the filtered grid has reflowed, keep the current equal-ranked target while a query is refined, cancel stale scroll targets from earlier keystrokes, and verify the target's visible card position below the fixed filter controls with bounded post-reflow settling passes rather than trusting only a precomputed scroll offset. - External production/source links must be verified by target identity before commit and deploy. For Pouet and Demozoo, confirm the fetched page title or cross-link names the intended production/group; for Scene.org/archive links, confirm the archive path and filename match the referenced production. HTTP 200 alone is not enough. - Ultra-low-priority follow-up: add screenshots of effects where they clarify a writeup or help identify a visual state. This can be backfilled into older writeups/analyses later and should not block source or binary analysis. - Low-priority site feature: keep the current homepage layout, but later add a way to sort or view writeups by release time/year. - Special-analysis note: `8088 MPH` is now covered in `8088-mph-analysis.md`; future backfill can add additional local hardware/emulator timing captures if practical. ## Deployment This directory is mirrored to DreamHost under: ```text /home/demobot/demo2.jeskola.net ``` The sync intentionally excludes local VCS and IDE state: ```text .git/ .vs/ logs/ .playwright-cli/ .codex/ .agents/ output/ tools/ .htaccess ``` Do not modify, overwrite, or delete the remote `.htaccess` during deploys. Rsync commands should exclude `.htaccess` so DreamHost/Apache behavior remains owned by the server-side configuration. Deployment should stay fast and proportional: 1. For each completed demo/article commit, run the relevant local render/audit, commit, make a remote backup of the files that commit changes, then rsync those exact files before continuing to the next demo. The workspace may be mounted through a shared filesystem that reports regular files as mode `770`; always use `--no-perms --omit-dir-times` when syncing to the web root. After the bounded sync, set only the uploaded regular files to mode `644`. Do not let archive-mode rsync replace the server's file or directory permissions. 2. After rsync, do a small smoke check: touched page(s) return `200`, touched asset(s) return `200`, and protected support directories still return `403`. 3. Use the full browser verification loop only when the change touches routing, sorting, front-page JavaScript, preview selection, or another browser-specific behavior. 4. Do not turn routine deploys into extended investigation passes. If rsync and the smoke checks pass, continue with the demo work. After deploy, keep support directories non-web-readable and asset directories non-listable: ```sh chmod 700 .codex .vs logs output .playwright-cli tools 2>/dev/null || true chmod 711 images videos 2>/dev/null || true ``` Then verify directory URLs such as `/images/`, `/videos/`, `/.codex/`, and `/tools/` return `403`, while known article/image/video files still return `200`.
