Core Design Assignments (PARCS)

Reverse-engineering notes on Dragonstone (Core Design, 1995) for the Amiga CD32: disc layout, RNC ProPack, the AmigaDOS boot chain, three-language text, and the leftovers -- a cut level, a floppy prompt, and an Exec object file in sector 21.

Structural documentation of the Amiga CD32 release of Universe (Core Design, 1994): a 16-opcode bytecode interpreter, RNC ProPack nested three levels deep, 602 KB of four-language script, Akiko's CD-ROM and I2C EEPROM ports driven by hand, and an ECS display on AGA silicon.

Reverse-engineering notes on Banshee (Core Design, 1994) for the Amiga CD32: a same-label control against Dragonstone, a 640x512 HAM8 picture nothing runs, RNC ProPack method 2 inside an executable, and a debug hook in the shipped boot script
