The display can point inside a larger framebuffer: Silent Hill flips
between two halves of a 1024-wide 565 buffer. Presenting it found the
framebuffer and the offset, but screenshots looked up only an exact
address match, and otherwise read RAM, which with a hardware renderer
holds something stale (Silent Hill: Origins' savestate thumbnails showed
the loading screen). Screenshots of the display now use the same lookup
and read back the 480x272 at the offset.
Headless screenshots go the same way: eight Silent Hill frame dumps
(Origins and Shattered Memories) now match the PSP exactly on Vulkan and
OpenGL, from 0.8k-104k differing pixels.
