make_patch.py gains --baud31250: one byte beyond the wedge patch — the SCI
init operand at $D62B ($30 -> $02). BAUD $30 = /13 prescale, /1 divider
(2MHz E / 208 = 9615); $02 = /1, /4 -> 31250 exactly, 3.3x faster. The
init write also confirms the 8MHz crystal, which is why 19200/38400 are
unreachable and why 62500/125k are left alone pending an ISR cycle count.
- 24 bytes changed vs original (sha256 9f866cf3...); re-disassembly diff
vs the classic patched image shows exactly the one operand line, and
the classic build still reproduces 3fc8170c... (script regression-safe).
- PC side: SerialPortTransport takes an optional baudRate (default 9600,
runtime untouched); RioSerialMonitor + --mash accept --baud 31250.
- Caveats documented in README/ANALYSIS: non-standard rate (FTDI-class
adapters only, no 16550s); native games still speak 9600 so this chip
is bench/RIOJoy-only; validate the wedge patch at 9600 first.
275 tests green; mash --selftest regression unchanged (FAIL/exit-1).
