@philpem I spent a lot of time playing (along with many others) with nd13-based glitchers in the 2000s - fond memories.

I don't think I have the original nd13.asm source, but here is a commented disassembly: nd13dis . asm

@philpem Here is ndish . zip from 18 July 2004, including asm and txt files and a schematic, posted by no1b4me.

@philpem The "Tucker schematic", included in the ndish zip file, was the de facto standard for glitchers used by satellite TV pirates in the mid-2000s, during the N2 era, at least in North America.

@philpem Both the NewD firmware and the Tucker schematic were a set of modifications to the reverse-engineered design of the "WildThing" unlooper used for hacking DirecTV P2 (H) cards circa 1999.

@philpem The same reverse-engineered design was used by pirates to reprogram the DirecTV P3 (HU) cards circa 2001 - the "HU loader".
