- The DX-Ball entry requires original game files and cautions that matching one recovered function does not establish whole-game equivalence.
Field notes
Each listing is organized by project type and pairs a target with primary evidence, repository or license links, and a project-specific caveat. For example, the DX-Ball entry says original game files are required and cautions that matching one recovered function does not establish whole-game equivalence; the VSL-DSP entry separates REA’s contribution to protocol research from the larger driver project and notes that hardware validation remains outstanding.
