Take 2 of the ADV audio capture verified with the port s independent tools/port/check-capture -- six distinct channel MD5s, PASS -- run before sharing and deliberately using their tool rather than the hand that made the file. Records the recipe: sink channel_map set equal to Canary s own stream map and the same map passed to parec, so PulseAudio does no remapping; both of run-canary s mutes off; recorder started before the emulator so WAV t=0 precedes process launch; and a screenshot every ~11 s keyed to the recording s own clock. That last pair is what makes it self-checking, and both were the port s asks. Classified against the committed references, this run reads movie/other for t=10..251 and then title_noplate at t=262 (r=+0.998) and title_plate at 277/289 -- so the 253 s of audio sits wholly inside the movie with the title arriving just after. A miss is now diagnosable instead of ambiguous, which is the whole difference from take 1. Still the full mix: movie WMA bed plus voice, nothing at this boundary separates them. Also records something unexplained that the run turned up: the probe logged FIVE distinct XMA byte_size values, not three -- ADV s 1294336 / 1118208 / 1171456 plus 1150976 and 1269760. The extra pair belongs to some other cue, is not BGM_103 s two waves, and a pair is the shape bgm-two-stems documents for music banks. Untested.

Sylpheed
A clean-room reverse engineering and port project for Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception (Xbox 360, 2007).
Three things live here, in one repository so that a change spanning them lands as one commit:
| The decoders | crates/sylpheed-formats — the disc's formats, read and verified disc-wide |
| The port | port/ — a Godot 4 project, plus crates/sylpheed-export which converts a disc into the open asset tree it reads |
| The corpus | docs/re/ — what has been reverse engineered, with its evidence, its retractions and its dead ends |
You need your own copy of the game. No game content is in this repository and none ever will be. The exporter reads the disc you supply.
The oracle is the real game
sylpheed-cliand the Explorer are tools for verifying our decoding. They are hypotheses under test and they have been wrong. When something must be checked against the truth, the truth is the game running in Xenia Canary, captured — not any renderer of ours.
This is stated first because getting it backwards is the most expensive mistake this project has made.

Xenia Canary is a separate repository: it is a fork tracking upstream, and it carries our instrumentation.
