First build that works as a drop-in replacement for the original 秋霜玉.exe, reading and writing the original data formats. Still a strict downgrade compared to the original binary, as it still has all of its problems:

  • Separate Japanese locale emulation is still needed to correctly refer to the original names of the configuration (秋霜CFG.DAT), score (秋霜SC.DAT), and replay (秋霜りぷ*.DAT) files. It's also required for the ending text to not render as mojibake.
  • Running the game at full speed and without graphical glitches on modern Windows still requires a separate DirectDraw patch such as DDrawCompat. To eliminate any remaining flickering, configure the game to use 16-bit graphics in the Config → Graphic menu.

As well as some of its own:

  • The original screenshot feature is still missing, as it also wasn't part of pbg's released source code.
  • If you're wondering why your antivirus is freaking out: I explained the reasons in this issue, with some more background here.

So it's more of a symbolic release, signifying that we can now start doing actual work on this game.
