I don't have any advice on finding where the flags in memory reside, but if you can find a LiveSplit autosplitter (or guides for making one yourself), you can probably transfer that knowledge into your own standalone tool easily!

you should read into LiveSplit maybe (both the Windows version and the cross-platform Rust version); that's a tool used by speedrunners and it has "autosplitters" that read game memory. there might be an existing autosplitter script for SCP:CB you can use as a base (maybe on speedrun.com)

SCP:CB uses Blitz3D which comes with the very crusty Blitz BASIC language, I'd probably approach it from an external tool/mod instead of looking at the game source. you can probably write an external tool to read the game's memory and determine what's going on from that

After about 3 days of work, I got DLSS to work on NVK (the open source NVIDIA driver in Mesa)! 🎉

DLSS is essentially just some launched Cuda kernels, so it was just a matter of implementing the VK_NVX_binary_import and VK_NVX_image_view_handle extensions.

Windows issues are always really fun to diagnose because I'm just deleting random registry keys in DeviceAssociationService and rebooting hoping it doesn't make it worse

By changing only a single byte in the code of Mario Paint, the music composer will not stop at the end of the song and instead continue to play the entire contents of the console's memory as music.
