| Extract Archive.org 2017/2020 ShaolinAssassin wiki backup |
The archived wiki likely contains the original command, patch, hotkey, debug, and multi-disc pages needed to resolve conflicting claims. |
Download metadata/files, extract non-proprietary markdown/html, and diff 2017 vs 2020 pages. |
open |
| Recover full PATCH_X.BIN map |
PATCH_9.BIN currently has conflicting meanings in the seed data versus maintainer posts. |
Inspect official POPStarter packages and archived wiki compatibility/IGR pages without committing proprietary binaries. |
open |
| Recover full TROJAN_X.BIN map |
TROJAN_7.BIN is referenced as a cumulative fix bundle, but affected games and changelog are missing. |
Capture package readmes, PSX-Place cumulative-fix posts, and Hugopocked thread references. |
open |
| Inspect official non-Sony package file trees |
Package inspection is needed for MC-Network filenames, BDM module layout, and readme/changelog recovery. |
Download only legal POPStarter-side packages, list file trees, and exclude Sony binaries from any commit. |
open |
| Recover compatibility mode meanings |
$COMPATIBILITY_0x## is documented but the mode effects are not fully mapped. |
Mine archived compatibility pages, ElOtroLado command sections, and package docs. |
open |
| Recover debug-mode behavior and report template |
SMB appears to force debug text, and user screenshots distinguish classic/debug POPSTARTER builds. |
Recover Shaolin debug-mode page and document expected logs/screens for support requests. |
open |
| Validate case sensitivity by backend |
The seed and ElOtroLado both warn that names matter, but exact filesystem-sensitive cases differ across USB, SMB, and APA. |
Cross-check docs and package examples, then hardware-test edge cases. |
open |
| Define exact boundary between core POPStarter and modern POPSLoader fork behavior |
Modern MMCE/MX4SIO/BDMA workflows are valuable but should not be misrepresented as original POPStarter core features. |
Trace POPSLoader fork release notes and source/readme, then label all fork-only setup paths. |
