Port the RIO wire protocol from legacy/riovjoy2.cpp into testable C#: - Protocol/: command + length table, 7-bit checksum, packet builder, and a streaming receive-side framing state machine (PacketParser) that mirrors the legacy ReadCommBlock framing/resync (high-bit-mid-packet abort). Typed RIO->PC decodes: AnalogReport (14-bit sign-extend), VersionInfo, CheckStatus; lamp-state composition. - Serial/: RioSerialLink drives an async receive loop with ACK/NAK reply policy (legacy force-accept vs. opt-in VerifyInboundChecksum), the analog poll timer, and the >5s reset-recovery watchdog. IRioTransport abstracts the COM port; the SerialPort-backed transport does 9600 8N1 + DTR reset pulse, and acquire/release is just create/dispose (foundation for native-game serial yield). - tests/RioJoy.Core.Tests: 54 xUnit tests covering checksum, framing/resync, builder round-trips, analog sign-extension + sentinel rejection, lamp combos, and the read loop driven against an in-memory fake transport. Hardware verification (version/check/analog against a cabinet) remains; it can't be done off-device. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

RIOJoy
Modern Windows 10/11 interface between the cockpit RIO (Remote Input/Output) board and Windows, as a virtual joystick / keyboard / mouse — the successor to the legacy vJoy-based app, with no vJoy dependency.
The RIO has 72 digital inputs and outputs (lighted buttons) and 5 analog axes (joystick X/Y, throttle, left pedal, right pedal), connected over RS-232 at 9600 8N1. RIOJoy exposes these to games that don't natively know about the cockpit hardware, with per-game profiles. (The native games — Firestorm, Red Planet — talk to the RIO directly and do not use this app.)

Building
Requires the .NET 8 SDK and Windows. The driver builds separately with the
WDK (see driver/README.md).
dotnet build RioJoy.sln -c Release
dotnet test RioJoy.sln
Status
Phase 2 (serial + RIO protocol core) is code-complete and unit-tested; hardware
verification is pending. See docs/PLAN.md for the full roadmap.
