Launch the original ↗Build 0.16 preserves original maps and sprites and implements parts of the opening sequence in Java compiled for HTML5. Its latest work adds source-derived character stats, graphics conversion, object refresh and interrupt handling.
The Java build is unfinished. It pauses at the opening scene’s player-control handoff; full movement, combat, music playback and the campaign still need implementation.
Open the development build →Listen to the game’s original music in a dedicated player.
Recordings come from the supplied cartridge’s sound data. Track identifiers and recovery notes stay with the music so the source of each listening copy remains clear.
Open the music player ↗Every release gets its own update: what changed, what was checked, and what still needs work.
Read all development posts →The character refresh now prepares the original stat calculations, party graphics, equipment tiles, object scan and palette copy in Java. The interrupt clock preserves the graphics wait separately from normal game updates.
These components are tested. Connecting them to live player control is the next stage of the rebuild.
Read the release notes →The preservation package includes the editable Java source, original exported PNG and binary artwork, game data, verification evidence and reproduction tools. The supplied cartridge remains unchanged.
