It exists because the project has hundreds of Markdown files and the website
should not pretend the interesting work only happened in the polished essays.
Why this file matters
Historical archive. This is older project documentation preserved for context. It is not the current source of truth, but it explains the roads that were tried.
First successful boot in DuckStation emulator! The executable loads from CD-ROM and runs, but console debug output is missing and graphics are not rendering yet. Root cause identified: missing heap initialization.
