About this build
Glidewire is an original anti-gravity racer built on the inspectredc/fzerox decomp. The program is compiled from the decompilation; every circuit, craft shape, texture, logo, tune, sound effect and line of text was generated for this project, with a new cast led by Rook Valdane. The ROM carries small tagged placeholders instead of RSP microcode, so it runs on the patched emulator core bundled with the page (not on real hardware).

What has been tested
Headless Edge on the local release build: title, menus, track and craft select, race start; a CPU driver finished 3 laps on all 24 circuits in a dev build; originality and taint gates 0 failing. Owner controller playtest pending.
