The `struct date` members in `scoredat_t` add a dependency on <dos.h>
to the entire header file. Makes sense to move it out as early as
possible.

Turns out the inlining behavior of `const` variables at global scope
that we've been relying on lately is actually exclusive to C++ mode…
once again!

Why does this function also have to load sprites for the viewing mode
of the high score menu?! Oh well, ridiculous functions deserve
ridiculous names…

Oh, wait. Due to ridiculously unlucky alignment, we can't actually
approach TH03's OP.EXE from the top of code segment 2… without
covering way too many functions at once, that is.
At least TH02 works out with "just" three functions at once. *If* we
add seg2 back to OP.EXE, where we previously needed to delete it… 😵

Whew, time to look at every `int` variable we ever declared! The best
moment to do this would have been a year ago, but well, better late
than never. No need to communicate that in comments anymore.
These shouldn't be used for widths, heights, or sprite-space
coordinates. Maybe we'll cover that another time, this commit is
already large enough.

Leading to slight complications in TH02's Music Room and shot type
selection menus. Thought about leaving those in C for a while, but I
still think it's worth it for the consistency we get with the VRAM
offset functions. Also, we'll have similar code for the main menus of
later games, and I'll surely won't be using C++ when starting out with
these.

Again, 11 necessary workarounds, vs. forcing byte aligment in at least
18 places, and that number would have significantly grown in the
future.

5 enums where code generation wants an `int`, vs. 11 cases where using
the minimum size is exactly the right default. So it's way more
idiomatic to force those 5 to 16 bits via a dummy element… except that
we can't give it a single, consistent name, because you can't redeclare
the same element in a different enum later.
Oh well, let's have this ugly naming convention instead, which makes it
totally clear that the force element not, in fact, a valid value of
that enum.

Oh hey, guarding declarations with complicated types via #ifdef limits
the header files we additionally have to #include!

I did consider not doing this, because "well, can't anyone who's
*actually* interested just diff the TH01 and TH02 implementations to
figure out the differences themselves", but that duplication ended up
feeling too filthy after all.
And hey, it's a nice excuse to update TH02's version to current naming
standards! 😛

The TH04/TH05 BGM/SE mode setup is a good example for code where
different structure field offsets will vanish completely upon reverse-
engineering. If we continued to use the per-game ID string as the
variable name, we'd only have another game-specific "difference" there.

So many things named `score_*`, so many things named `hiscore_*`…
Let's go with `scoredat_*`, which clearly indicates that this stuff is
saved into a file, while still being only 8 characters.

At least wherever Turbo C++ and master.lib want us to use a
non-pointer, since both use uint16_t for segment values throughout
their APIs instead of the more sensible void __seg*. Maybe, integer
arithmetic on segment values was widely considered more important than
dereferencing?
*Finally*. We already used `(unsigned) int` in quite a few places where
we actually want a 16-bit value, which was bound to annoy future port
developers.
Not applying this leak to TH03 since it would have more than one
`key_det` variable, resulting in names that are as much fanfiction as
the current ones…
This, hands down, has been the single worst stretch of decompilation so far.
Three extremely difficult functions that each still required inline assembly.
And no, this didn't even work out with any of the optimization features in
Borland C++ that aren't included in Turbo C++.
Oh, right, these functions can have parameters. So, let's turn snd_kaja_func()
into a macro that combines the function number and the parameter into the AX
value for the driver.
Only one code segment left in both OP and FUUIN! its-happening.gif
Yeah, that commit is way larger than I'm comfortable with, but none of these
functions is particularly large or difficult to decompile (with the exception
of graph_putsa_fx(), which I actually did weeks ago), and OP and MAIN have
their own unique functions in between the shared ones, so…
So yeah, after ignoring this issue for a week, we indeed have no choice but to
decompile these functions into this horrible mess of C and inline assembly.
And you know what? Since the compiled result still matches with ZUN's binary,
it's entirely possible that this *was* the original format this code was
written in! Seriously, how intoxicated do you have to be to write (or rather,
slur) code like this?
Keeping these functions entirely in assembly would have surely been better.
However, it would have made linking practically impossible, especially for the
later games which still need them in the current assembly slice format.
MAIN.EXE shares most of the code in this segment, but I can't remove it from
there right now due to the weird ordering of the data segments in that
executable…
And yes, once again, those three seemingly random type casts in here are
*necessary* to build a bit-perfect binary.
Oh, OK, so this is what the PC-98 GRCG is all about. You call grcg_setcolor(),
and that puts the PC-98 hardware in some sort of "monochromatic mode". Then,
you just write your pixels into any *single* one of the 4 VRAM bitplanes. This
causes the hardware to automatically write to *all* bitplanes in such a way
that the final palette index for each of the 8, 16, or 32 pixels you just wrote
a 1 value to will actually end up to match the color you set earlier.
Don't forget to call grcg_off() at the end though, or you can't draw any
non-monochromatic graphics, heh.
Yes, all of it. Including the bouncing polygons, of course. And since it's
placed at the end of ZUN's code inside the executable, the code's already
position-independent and fully hackable.
