Hey there!

It took me quite a bit to get the music playing since FC modified the STMIK. The solution turned out to be:
plaintext = stored ^ (uint8_t)((si * 4) ^ si)
Other things that escaped me at first:
sh = (ls_x * nx + ls_y * ny + ls_z * nz) / 250000 + 32
shade level for the plasma cube, which is in the source but ... I guess I'm blind.
and the order of the individual parts.
I ported it to MISC as accurately as I could, though there are some artifacts.
For example, in the PAM ("Alkutekstit III"), the starship that flies above the camera just doesn't render correctly. I haven't been able to get it working. I thought that it appeared immediately prior to PAM, but I'm not sure yet. The city flythrough scene doesn't run at all. Then, during the outro, some of the images and text are a bit corrupted.
Having gone through this, I think I'm gonna port Scream Tracker (there is an ST3 clone out there) as well, but we'll see. It'd be nice to be able to make music in it again.
Hope you enjoy it!
