Matched Ape Escape retail SCPH1001 LLE builds identify 0661ce77 as the visible boot regression: parent 155e269b reaches game code, while 0661ce77 stalls near BIOS frame 375. Revert its four dependent follow-ups too; retain PR #326 readback bounds and PR #328 Vulkan aspect changes.
The row-by-row raster dispatcher amplifies an existing malformed DMA list into massive GL work. Keep the broader CPU/DMA arbitration experiment separate for compatibility testing. Document attribution, validation, and the temporarily restored interlace limitation.
Validation: full Ape target reaches title/menu and frame 11669 on retail LLE; OpenBIOS control reaches frame 3701. Eight focused tests pass; retained GL readback fixture passes 71 checks at both 1x and 4x after linking local SDL with iconv. Beads: beads-iisy; DMA follow-up: beads-eio.3.122.
