Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️Can't figure out how to get this damn ghidra extension to work. I have so many versions of ghidra and still, nope.
I JUST WANT TO HACK 32BIT DOS GAMES IS THAT SO WRONG
installing a new JDK and a different version of ghidra and a github actions version instead of a the release version
IT LIVES
so I got the ghidra-lx-loader extension from here (and unzipped it to reveal the zip), then got that version of ghidra (10.2.0), then installed it. seems to work fine

oh, error strings that specify what function they are, my beloved
oh this is a weird thing I didn't know existed.
you embed an int3 in your code, then a short JMP, and the ASCII characters "WVIDEO".
If the ASCII code is found, it ends up outputting a debug string in the Watcom debugger.
this game is so weird. I'm like 99% sure it saves background you're currently on into the save file.
not, like, an index into which background, but the background ITSELF

correction: that's now 100%
it definitely does.
which is actually helpful.
I can load the game, move left and right, then save the game.
this'll export the current background to a file

I'm extracting all the backgrounds from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Harbringer.

@foone I had that one! Peak non-rectangular-prism software packaging.
