Also covering the two variations for blitting only every second row or
blitting only a 320x200 quarter, as seen in the endings.
So yeah, there's indeed nothing wrong with piread.cpp. TH03 just uses that
separate function that only blits every second row of an image, and indeed
always loads the entire image as it would appear in a PNG conversion. Here's
what happens if you display these images using the non-interlacing function:

With TH03 changing the calling convention for most of the code from __cdecl to
__pascal, I've been getting more and more confused about this myself. So,
let's settle on the following consistent syntax for function calls:
* C where the calling convention is actually __cdecl and where TASM's emitted
__cdecl code matches the original binary
* PASCAL where the calling convention is actually __pascal
* STDCALL where the calling convention is actually __cdecl, but where
the caller either defers stack cleanup (summing up the stack size of
multiple functions, then cleaning it all in a single "add sp" instruction)
or where the stack is cleared in a different way (e.g. "pop cx").
Unfortunately though, when using the ARG directive to automatically generate
an appropriate RET instruction for the given calling convention, TASM always
emits ENTER and LEAVE instructions even when no local variables are declared,
which greatly limits the number of functions where we can use that syntax. -.-
Well, the naming.
Even though only TH02 actually uses MIDI (and thus, the MMD driver), every
game since then contains interrupt instructions for both functions. We could
just name it "pmd", since it seems like that's what came first - the AH
numbers of the 6 functions that make up MMD's interrupt API are identical to
those of the equivalent functions in PMD, even including gaps in the numbering
for PMD functions that don't have an equivalent in MIDI. However, except for
the FM sound effect handling and the key display in TH05's Music Room, these 6
functions are all the games actually use. Also, we already distinguish between
PMD and MMD in the driver check functions, and it might be confusing to only
imply PMD from now on?
So, "kaja" it is, collectively referring to the shared aspects of both
drivers.
Yup, packfiles finally proved that we really have a different set of changes
to master.lib in every game. Also, there are bound to be more of these game-
specific small changes to otherwise identical code in ZUN's own code.
And hey, no need to define that value in the build scripts anymore.
(I've also considered just copying modified versions into the individual game
subdirectories, but it's not too nice to expect people to diff them in order
to actually understand why these copies exist and where the changes actually
are.)
