Extracted TDK Pinball assets

This directory contains every resource in TDKPIN.EXE's Windows 3.x NE resource table.

Layout

• raw/: all 63 resource allocations copied byte-for-byte from the executable. These files intentionally retain alignment padding and are the lossless source of truth.
• decoded/images/: 34 custom 8-bit DIB graphics and three standard bitmap resources converted to PNG. The standard bitmaps also have BMP wrappers.
• decoded/palettes/: the shared 256-color RGB palette as a swatch PNG and GIMP palette.
• decoded/audio/: all 16 RIFF/PCM resources trimmed to their declared RIFF lengths.
• decoded/icons/: the application icon as ICO and PNG.
• decoded/dialogs/: all six packed Win16 dialog templates decoded to JSON, including bounds, control IDs, classes, captions, styles, and fonts.
• decoded/metadata/: printable strings and fixed fields from the version resource.
• manifest.json: resource ID, original file offset, flags, allocated and meaningful sizes, hashes, format metadata, and decoded paths for every entry.

The custom DAT graphics omit an inline color table. They are decoded with the executable's separate PAL/999 resource; the raw DAT and PAL bytes remain separate so their original storage model is preserved.

Run python3 tools/extract_ne_resources.py from the repository root to regenerate the directory, then python3 tools/verify_extracted_assets.py to verify exact raw-byte round trips and decoded file structure.
