Reverse engineering, renderer, autopilot and site by dmnetVR, with an AI coding assistant doing most of the typing and a good share of the mistakes (documented).
Built on Hatari, the Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon emulator by Thomas Huth, Nicolas Pomarède, Eero Tamminen and the Hatari team, released under the GNU GPL, with the WinUAE CPU core. The browser build uses Emscripten, SDL and Three.js. Disassembly was done in Ghidra with the ReVa assistant.
