Predator/IR vision: reverse-engineered from the original firmware and
confirmed by the build team -- it is the Division board's TEXTURE-VALUE RAMP
mode (a "check your texture maps" diagnostic the devs hijacked), NOT a
grayscale squash or a false-colour palette. Located in VREND.MNG (effect
handler @0xe6c0, wire action 0x1b, type -1 ON / -2 OFF); ramp colours from
VR_DRAW.C. Renderer reworked to match: vrview_gl now does the 4-ramp
lerp(color0,color1,luminance(texel)) in the mesh pass (grayscale+defog
removed). Live-rendered on a new night-clear arena egg; crew A/B verdict
pending.
Firmware-decomp toolchain (emulator/firmware-decomp/), all built from the
project's own artifacts and validated:
- coff860.py i860 COFF reader (symbols/sections), names match AS860 source
- derive860.py derives the i860 opcode map from matched .S<->.O pairs
- dis860.py i860 disassembler (98% on clean ground truth; proven on
VREND.MNG -- velocirender_statistics decodes correctly)
- sigmatch860.py reloc-invariant signature matcher onto the stripped image
- i860-encoding.md / FIRMWARE-SYMBOLS.txt / README.md
PVISION-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md: self-contained hand-off for the BT411 team.
HARDWARE-ARCHITECTURE.md + hardware-photos/ (15 board shots): the Division
VelociRender card is a 2-board stack driving a 3-processor pipeline --
INMOS IMS T425-J25S (comms/control, runs vrendmon.btl) + Intel i860 XP-50 (FP
geometry, runs vrender.mng) + Division PXPL IGC 5.2 ASIC with ~48x PXPL EMC
5.1 (UNC Pixel-Planes-5 SIMD array; "EMC" = the firmware's configEMCs) +
Analog Devices ADV7150 RAMDAC + NTSC. Plus the VWE Video Distribution Board
(P/N 1404: AMD MACH130 + 3x Brooktree Bt477) for the 3-VGA-head cockpit split.
