Hey everyone! I'm posting back to let everyone know a couple points, as outlined in the updated OP.
Firstly, in case it wasn't clear from time, this project is discontinued. What's new is what exactly happened to this project, because I can tell you it was never abandoned at all :)
Second thing is, while Mediafire died, the patch lives. Nothing great ever truly disappears, does it? It's available up top, again, and there's a crafty backup method I devised in case the link dies, as often happens. As a third addendum, I also added some context about my source-based hacking redux of Citrite that has always been on GitHub but never publicly announced until now. You can check that out too if you like – it's very similar to the decomps but totally predates them!
