Telegram saved requests, 2026-10-13

Saved #N confirms inbox persistence, not execution or a substantive reply. Boat's Claude consumer cursor was 49 and the Codex cursor was 2. Neither is an authoritative record of unanswered requests: standalone replies can bypass consumer state. Keep open work in TODOS and retain delivery receipts separately.

Replies delivered

• #45-47: mobile-controls collage from scratch/runs/20261011T1830Z-mobile-controls-montage-orch/. Telegram message 1246. Visually reviewed; includes menus as well as gameplay.
• #51-52: Nocturne 20261012T1046Z-nocturne-touch-prepared/action.png. Telegram message 1247. Reviewed muzzle flash and touch controls; existing run verifies emulated touch movement/fire. Pending development fixes, not public deployment or physical-device/audio/FPS qualification.
• #48-49 already have a Boat task for the FIFA Street link. The source post identifies GameCube/PS2/Xbox versions. That task proposes a Windows FIFA demo; it must not be represented as a Windows FIFA Street port.
• #50 and #53-56: source findings and status sent as Telegram message 1248. Boat task creation was verified before sending; installation/gameplay remains open for all three new demos. This closes the unanswered-message gap, not the underlying compatibility work.

Delivery receipts are append-only in Boat's scratch/telegram/backlog-responses-20261013.jsonl. No other agent's cursor was advanced. A response about a game source does not close its gameplay task.

Verified sources for open requests

All three packages were downloaded to the laptop's ignored scratch/preserve-wip-20261012/ and SHA-1 checked against Archive metadata. These are local compatibility fixtures; no redistribution permission established.

#56's linked post identifies Chaos Gate (1998, Windows). The Archive demo is a single tactical mission. NWN's ZIP contains InstallShield Disk1 data1/data2 CABs, setup and readme. Chaos Gate's ZIP contains InstallShield CABs/setup and Chaos_Demo.txt. THPS2's executable is not directly readable by local p7zip 17.04; investigate its installer format instead of treating it as a prepared game directory.

Next for each: extract/install, identify executable and imports, add a reproducible local-only candidate recipe, run through ordinary launch into player-controlled gameplay, review screenshots and record actual blockers. No gameplay was run for these three requests during inbox triage. Boat has roughly 200 MB free, below its 2 GB runtime floor; use a workspace with sufficient space without deleting WIP.

Boat task IDs: TG50-NEVERWINTER-NIGHTS-DEMO-20261013, TG55-THPS2-DEMO-20261013, TG56-CHAOS-GATE-DEMO-20261013.

Subsequent local launch investigation

These attempts follow the inbox triage above; none establishes gameplay.

• Neverwinter Nights: unpack NWNDemo.zip, then use unshield on NWNDemo/Demo/Disk1/data1.cab (InstallShield 6, not the IS5 extractor). Flatten group HD0 into the game root; copy Data, TexturePacks, Music, Movies, Miles, and LocalVault to their lowercase directory names, Ambiant to ambient, and retain override, scripttemplates, and nwm. Launch nwmain.exe with --threads --vfs-include='**/*'. The threaded launch reaches the unimplemented glGenLists API at batch 31905. The earlier nonthreaded spin is not the relevant blocker. Evidence: scratch/runs/20261013-nwn-first-launch/run-threads.log.
• Chaos Gate: unpack the ZIP and run tools/is5-extract.js on its data1.cab. The game tree contains WH40KDemo.exe, SMACKW32.DLL, and WinG DLLs. Launch WH40KDemo.exe with --threads --vfs-include='**/*'. It reaches unimplemented WinGRecommendDIBFormat at batch 9739. Evidence: scratch/runs/20261013-chaos-first-launch/run.log.
• THPS2: the executable is a Wise installer. Its original setup runs inside the emulator; no host archive extractor is needed. See THPS2 investigation for the input replay and installation evidence.
