===================================================================================================

### Release info
The first ever demoscene release by KittenLabs.
Written in C, released at Revision 2026

### Tech internals
Audio playback through UART/Serial link port
- 19000Hz @ 8bit PCM, played using DMA-based PWM
- real ProTracker/Amiga 4-channel .mod playback
- fully async (interrupt-driven) playback, no main loop interaction required
- UART being driven in synchronous mode (without start/stop bits) to avoid distortion

Grayscale support through timer/interrupt-driven multiplexing
- 2-bit grayscale rendering

Overclocking through SH7305 CPG/PLL manipulation
- CPU clock -> 29 MHz -> 236 MHz
- Bus clock -> 29 MHz -> 118 MHz
- Battery current increases from ~1mA -> 110mA

### Hardware requirements
Hitachi SH-4 CPU required! Won't work on SH-3 CPUs!
SH-4 CPUs can be identified by software version "2.02.xxx" (instead of "2.01.xxx")

Tested/developed on a (modded) fx-9750GII.

Might work on: 
- fx-9860GII (only the SH-4 variants)
- fx-9860GIIs
- fx-9860G AU+ (australian model)
- Graph 35+E/75+/75+E
- Graph 35+/75/95 (only the SH-4 variants)

Graph 35+E have different displays (T6K11 rev. 2), untested, might glitch at start/crash.

### Notes
DSD/"1-bit DAC" audio playback would've been easily possible in software
but the output driver/serial hardware of the Casio seems to have very low
drive strength / slow rise times. 
Using a DSD-routine resulted in very poor audio.
