OK, I only mentioned it as ScummVM crashes at that point in Loom demo of PASS sometimes, but not always.

Aye. Well that hack clearly *is* wrong, anyway :-)
Either, the value should be "clipped" (that is, something like if (ptr[0] == box) box--; That's certainly not correct in any meaning of the word, but at least won't crash and is trivial to do any verify.
Or we should enlarge the rtMatrix-1 resource... we could for example make it exactly one box "bigger", and then fill that additional space with the data that follows in the resource file immediately after the box data (that will be the res matrix). That way, we'd essentially emulate the (buggy) behaviour of the original engine.

Adding that clip check to getBoxBaseAddr() for pass works and stops the valgrind warning. That clip check could replace the current checkRange() adjustment for earlier games. Maybe just add that clip check for scumm 1 - 4 games in getBoxBaseAddr(), replacing the current fixme ?
It might be best to emulate the buggy behaviour of original as you mentioned, so we end up with exact same data for boxes. But I will leave the decision up to you.
