src/player/load.i expands both codebooks to word-per-pixel form and packs the
palette to GGGGGRRRRRBBBBBI out of the RAW container header, byte-exact against
tools/bench/dlxload.py on both CPU cores. The palette half is gated on words
read back out of the palette registers at $E82000, so "the words reached the
hardware" is part of what passes. ROADMAP P1 is done; P2's encoder half (a
reserved black entry, 23.4) is not, and is a re-encode rather than an edit.
A scene change costs 18.96 ms of 68000 time, 22.8% of one 12 fps frame; boot
costs 24.70 ms. The scratch tables describe the CRTC, not the scene, so
pal_tables is a separate entry point built once at boot -- 5.29 ms off every
scene change.
The one that moves something: the scene header is 5,920 B that no rate table in
this tree included, because it belongs to no frame record. In FINDINGS 51.3's
currency it is divided by the surplus pipe - wire, so it is hypersensitive:
138 ms of extra refill climb at 488 KB/s and 1.099 s at 451.4 KB/s, for the
same bytes. tools/analysis/22_scene_load.py prices it across explicit rates.
Recorded as open: the two CPU cores agree to <3% on every stage but the table
build, where they differ by 16.4%. px68k's C68K charges a flat 50 clocks for
MULU/MULS (c68kmacro.h:1869) where the 68000 charges 38+2n, which explains
4,608 of the 8,703 clock gap. 4,095 clocks are unexplained. Nothing else in
src/player/ multiplies, so no figure in FINDINGS 24-52 is affected.
decode.s and stream.s are untouched; decode.bin is still 1,296 B at the same
MD5. check.sh gains a stage that gates byte-exactness on both cores and
deliberately does not gate the cycle counts -- MAME's clock is 1/55.46 s and a
wall timing would make the green light host-sensitive.
