What's this?

And maybe ido5.3-ssb. its some weird chimera right? There's no way to just add 4.1 binaries to the existing ido5.3 and invoke them via flags/env vars? Would be nicer than adding an extra compiler just for 1 game

Well, it would be nice to test this weird experiment with other functions from that overlay. We know this compiler mess could be real because of func_ovl8_803781A4, since the only way to match this function is by using an old IDO frontend that generates a jump table with a four-case switch. We are not really sure if they mixed the old C frontend with 5.3 or 7.1, so that's why I added both, to test all possible cases.

Not super keen to add a compiler to the site purely for experimentation, feel like that could be done offline, and once you're confident it's the right thing, then we add it.. or if we can do like I said earlier, where we add additional binaries to ido5.3 and then you pick via runtime flags?

Well, my intention is to let others try this, since I think this compiler might be a little bit too difficult to set up because of qemu-irix

Do you mean invoke the IRIX 4 binaries from recomp?

Suggests we could have a ido7.1-qemu with these irix4 binaries, wouldn't need to be ssb specific

Well, the thing that makes this specific for SSB is that the original developer used only one COFF binary (accom) from IRIX 4 for SSB, while the others appear to be ELF files copied from IDO 7.1.
