Okay, that was quick. Haven’t happened before when swapping a HD from one laptop to another that everything goes so smoothly that you don’t have to reconfigure anything at all on the software level (some kind of Celeron -> Pentium 2 and a modular precompiled Debian kernel).
Unfortunately I have also lost interest in continuing working on my project due to slight instability of mind, so I am quitting.
For anyone who might want to continue this project, it would be helpful to merge the “agi” branch of my github scummvm-tools repository to master. It contains two finished extraction tools and a disassembler that should work with any V2 logic resources and also with the V1 logic resources found in Black Cauldron. I just wrote a simple command line parser for it so that anyone can readily try it without modifying the source.
Work on my scummvm “booters” branch is incomplete but as far as I know it shouldn’t break anything with any V2 games, so I think this would also be useful to merge. Of course it could take some additional testing before the next release.
Finally I added the partly reverse-engineered disassembly files of the three games with my few comments. These are all produced by running the games in DOSBox and using its debugger to dump the code and data segments while AGI is running, then disassembling the binaries with ndisasm (shipped with nasm). I added the MD5 sums of the disk images to the corresponding files. The repository is just a handy place to store them temporarily so there they are.
Personally I think it was an interesting ride, I have even considered buying some games for trying them after seeing cool things like the Dreamweb asm->C++ converter. I part from IRC but you can of course still contact me by email (pitkajus, paju.oulu.fi) if you have any questions about the code I have produced.
Bye and have fun.
