   I won't tell you what to work on next but I would be very interested in an analysis of the 8086/8088 instruction decoding and microcode structure. TBH I watch and read everything you do with great interest.

   ScummVM contains almost 80 game engines (and a lot of sub-engines) supporting hundreds of games. Most of them are made by straight reverse engineering of the original executables. In the early days we did have a lengthy back-and-forth with

    Hello Louis! I've certainly had a lot of fun figuring out how you did what you did, so thank you for that, no matter what you call it :) You certainly crammed a lot of tech into one engine! Full screen 15 BPP videos with full z-buffer
