- README, LICENSE (MIT for the port layer), NOTICE, CONTRIBUTING.
- Restructure docs: internals.md, porting-notes.md, dev-process.md +
dev/agentic-development.md (the research write-up), dev/ (raw record).
- Replace decomp status-badge CI with a PC-port validate workflow.
- Remove session/agent scaffolding and stale planning docs from the tree.
- Add .gitattributes (normalize line endings to LF); add screenshots.
The pre-2026-08 history is the GoldenEye 007 decompilation by Larry Ficken
(KholdFuzion) and contributors, preserved unchanged. The PC-port work from
2026-08-17 on is mine.
D59/D64: the 'external GL DLL' crash was an unbounded blood-RLE write
(sentinel die_blood_image_end lost its N64 section adjacency on PC)
clobbering the gun-barrel sub-DL at ptr_logo_and_walletbond_DL+0x200.
D60: osPiStartDma DMA-target validation (VirtualQuery-based) in libultra.c.
D61/D63: TEMP env-gated ROM-read / VTX-pool / menu probes (strip list in
HANDOFF Task 3). D62: OSMesgQueue/OSScMsg PC layout verification.
D65/D65b: enum HEADS/BODIES signed sentinels under PORT (PC GCC picks
unsigned underlying types; N64 semantics were signed).
D66: romCopyAligned + ramrom replay 64-bit pointer width (s32 truncation
of .bss targets > 4 GiB). D67: struct image_entry N64 layout
reconstruction (dataoffset:24 first, all-u32 bitfields, sizeof==8).
D68: Globalimagetable BE->LE fixup (port/src/gimgfixup.c): bswap the
IMAGESEG-marked Gfx w1 words in the 17 ROM-copied DLs + sImageTableEntry.
index in the 32 tables after texReset's romCopy; marker scan moved to
bytes 6..7 under PORT; compiled globalDL shadows synced post-texLoad for
explosion.c's g_ExplosionDisplayLists.
Result: game boots, plays intro music, and renders the entire ~3.5-minute
intro (logo -> gun barrel with Brosnan -> cast screen) at ~59 fps. New
blocker D69: load_bg_file faults on first stage load - BG-file headers are
N64 big-endian segment-0x0F offsets read LE on PC. Full analysis + strategy
in PCPortResearch.md §F/D69; HANDOFF rewritten for the D69 session.
- D38: implicit function declarations truncated pointer returns on x86-64;
added port/include/pc_protos.h prototype shim (398 decls, C-only, anchored
in port/shim/PR/ucode.h) + pc_netorder.c for ntohl/ntohs; build warning-clean.
- D39: Globalimagetable rebasing - per-symbol offsets + GIMG_OFF() in
image_bank.c (== N64 (u32)&sym incl. the 0x02000000 base); segment end
markers extended to the true 0x13F8 size (CSV entry truncated by 0x930).
- D40: g_ModelHitEntries pool sized for the 40-byte PC ModelHitEntry stride
(was a 12KB .bss overflow clobbering is_ramrom_flag -> demo-replay SIGSEGV).
- D41: release the GL context from the host main thread after videoInit so
the game scheduler thread can bind it (WGL single-thread currency; this
SDL2 build's MakeCurrent return value is an inverted ABI artifact).
- D42: rsp.c g_gfxTaskSettingsList XOR toggle -> explicit toggle on x86-64.
Boot now renders real frames ([NOTE] frame N rendered in ... us). Next
blocker D43 (model-file loading ABI mismatch) documented in PCPortResearch.md
section F/H; HANDOFF.md rewritten for it.
- scripts/gen_romassets.py: emit absolute cart-address asset symbols
(0x10000000 + rom_offset) from filelist.<r>.csv + the asset .s files,
in file_resource_table.inc.c order. US region (romassets_u.s).
- romdata.c: load/validate the GE-specific header (magic, name @0x20,
cart ID @0x3C, country @0x3E) and map the .z64 at cart base 0x10000000
so every &asset-symbol is a live host pointer.
- libultra.c: osPiStartDma/osPiRawStartDma now service reads as
bounds-checked memcpys from the mapped ROM (synchronous completion).
- system.c: implement sysResolvePath ($S data dir, $E exe dir).
- video.c: real SDL2 window + GL context + clear/swap frame loop with
FPS accounting; main.c runs a Phase 1 demo loop (ESC quits) until the
software RSP/scheduler can drive mainproc().
- CMakeLists: project(... ASM), wire romassets_<region>.s, drop
assetstubs.c (replaced by generated symbols); n64stubs.c keeps only
pure-RAM segment markers.
- docs: findings D18-D23 (header offsets, BE music table, .rz tracks,
scanner-prefixed manifest names, CMake ASM gotcha, absolute-symbol
approach).
Verified: baserom.u.z64 (12MB) passes validation and maps at 0x10000000;
window opens and renders until killed; asset offsets spot-checked against
ROM bytes (music bank seqCount=63 BE, first track offset 508).
