Descent 2 640x480 cockpit HUD in Descent 1?

[pas-de-2]

I realize this may be out of scope for a 'Chocolate' project, but for a Crispy Doom-like fork, have you any insight into what needs to be done to get the cockpit HUD working in Descent 1's 640x480 mode?

It's partially in scope, since the Mac version of Descent 1 had a 640x480 cockpit. If I support this data, I should be able to support a 640x480 cockpit, with whatever other implications using the Mac data would imply.

For a crispy like project, being able to override the PIG assets somehow from an external archive and detecting the 640x480 resolution and using the 640x480 gauge offsets from the Mac source should allow it to work (might also be worth externalizing gauge positions to some sort of text script). With all video modes in Chocolate being linear, the ibitblt module used for drawing the cockpit will work at 640x480.
