Side-scrolling 1995 action game by Crack dot Com, SDL2 fork from the Xenoveritas
|
||||
branch. The port ships its own game data in-tree under data/ (14 MB), including
|
||||
the Lisp scripts, levels, art and freedesktop metadata; the fRaBs expansion was
|
||||
removed from this fork over licensing uncertainty.
|
||||
|
||||
Entry point abuse.lsp is loaded relative to the data directory. The data root
|
||||
is set in src/sdlport/setup.cpp:
|
||||
1. -datadir <path> CLI argument (setup.cpp:327-332)
|
||||
2. datadir= in abuse.cfg (setup.cpp:182)
|
||||
3. ASSETDIR compile-time constant, filled by CMakeLists.txt:45-54 — "." on
|
||||
Windows, abuse.app/Contents/Resources/data on macOS, share/games/abuse on
|
||||
Linux (setup.cpp:441-474)
|
||||
Loader1 reads abuse.lsp via lisp (loader2.cpp:284), which chain-loads
|
||||
lisp/english.lsp -> lisp/common.lsp -> lisp/startup.lsp -> ...
|
||||
|
||||
Batocera's packaging (package/batocera/ports/abuse/abuse.mk) pins DASSETDIR to
|
||||
/userdata/roms/abuse and splits the data into the Pacman package abuse-data
|
||||
which pulls abuse.zoy.org's abuse-data-2.00.tar.gz, a 16 MB public-domain pack
|
||||
that includes music/ and sfx/ (which the Xenoveritas tree omits).
|
||||
|
||||
No separate BIOS or firmware. The whole game is open content.

Blake Stone source port by bibendovsky, covering Aliens of Gold (shareware
|
||||
v1.0/v2.0/v2.1/v3.0 and registered v1.0/v2.0/v2.1/v3.0) plus Planet Strike.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine identifies the installed game by SHA1-hashing every file in the
|
||||
content directory against a hardcoded resource table in id_ca.cpp.
|
||||
Assets::get_aog_sw_v1_0_resources, get_aog_sw_v2_0_resources,
|
||||
get_aog_sw_v2_1_resources, get_aog_sw_v3_0_resources,
|
||||
get_aog_full_v1_0_resources through get_aog_full_v3_0_resources, and
|
||||
get_ps_resources (id_ca.cpp:1493-1687) each list one shipping variant.
|
||||
has_content() in jm_free.cpp:195-220 opens every file in the chosen set and
|
||||
fails the match on the first SHA1 mismatch.
|
||||
|
||||
Search paths come from the command line (-aog_dir, -ps_dir), the Steam install
|
||||
(bstone_steam_content_path.cpp) and the GOG install (bstone_gog_content_path.cpp)
|
||||
before the current working directory. File names carry the game suffix:
|
||||
.BS1 Aliens of Gold shareware
|
||||
.BS6 Aliens of Gold registered
|
||||
.VSI Planet Strike
|
||||
|
||||
Every file in a set is required; the game refuses to start otherwise. Levels
|
||||
are checked separately: a modded-levels hash saves to the player data instead
|
||||
of being refused (jm_free.cpp:934-946).
|
||||
|
||||
No separate BIOS. BStone requires one of the three retail/shareware data sets.

OpenGL source port by Arno Ansems of id Software's Catacomb Adventure series:
|
||||
- Catacomb 3-D: The Descent (.C3D)
|
||||
- Catacomb Abyss (.ABS) — three releases v1.12 / v1.13 / v1.24
|
||||
- Catacomb Armageddon (.ARM)
|
||||
- Catacomb Apocalypse (.APC)
|
||||
|
||||
The engine detects which game a search path points at by matching every
|
||||
filename and byte-size against a hardcoded map in src/<game>/GameDetection
|
||||
<game>.h. GameDetectionAbyss.h, GameDetectionArmageddon.h,
|
||||
GameDetectionApocalypse.h and GameDetectionCatacomb3D.h declare the
|
||||
<game>Files* std::map<std::string, uint32_t> tables used by
|
||||
src/Engine/GameDetection.cpp.
|
||||
|
||||
Files are matched by exact byte size at this layer; the loaders downstream
|
||||
then open each by name through src/Engine/EngineCore.cpp. Catacomb Abyss has
|
||||
three distinct file sets (v1.12, v1.13, v1.24), and Catacomb 3-D has v1.00
|
||||
and v1.22.
|
||||
|
||||
Each supported game sits in its own directory, picked by the user through
|
||||
the game selection menu (src/Engine/GameSelection.cpp). No separate BIOS is
|
||||
needed — the retail / shareware DOS data files are the only requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
The Catacomb Adventure Series releases (Abyss shareware, Armageddon,
|
||||
Apocalypse) were made freeware by Flat Rock Software and are distributed by
|
||||
3D Realms. Catacomb 3-D was released as shareware; the registered v1.22 data
|
||||
is commercial.

Top-down shooter engine, open-source remake of the DOS C-Dogs by Ronny Wester.
|
||||
Ships every asset it needs in-tree: data/, graphics/, missions/, music/,
|
||||
sounds/, dogfights/, doc/, wiki/ (about 100 MB).
|
||||
|
||||
The data root is baked into the binary via -DCDOGS_DATA_DIR (CMakeLists.txt
|
||||
option). Batocera sets it to /userdata/roms/cdogs/; the Linux source default
|
||||
is cdogs-data. GetDataFilePath() in src/cdogs/utils.c:392 either returns an
|
||||
absolute override as-is, or joins the current working directory with
|
||||
CDOGS_DATA_DIR plus the requested relative path.
|
||||
|
||||
Top-level sub-trees the game pulls files from (every path is relative to
|
||||
CDOGS_DATA_DIR, resolved through GetDataFilePath):
|
||||
data/ — ammo.json, bullets.json, guns.json, pickups.json,
|
||||
map_objects.json, character_classes.json, particles.json,
|
||||
gamecontrollerdb.txt, prefixes.txt (configuration data)
|
||||
graphics/ — sprites, font, icons; grafx.c:92 (cdogs_icon.bmp),
|
||||
grafx.c:156 (font.png + font.json)
|
||||
missions/ — single-player campaigns, mission packs (JSON)
|
||||
music/ — menu, briefing, game, end, lose, victory tracks
|
||||
(music.c:45-50 LoadMusic calls)
|
||||
sounds/ — sfx wavs
|
||||
dogfights/ — deathmatch arenas
|
||||
|
||||
All open-source content (GPL-2.0). No separate BIOS or retail data required.

|

Open-source reimplementation of the Commander Keen engines (Vorticon, Galaxy,
|
||||
Dreams) and the Cosmo engine, by Gerstrong. Needs the original Commander Keen
|
||||
data files from the user; the engine itself ships with a 876 KB vfsroot (UI
|
||||
art, fonts, sounds) that is not a BIOS and is bundled with the binary.
|
||||
|
||||
For each supported game, Commander Genius expects a flat directory under its
|
||||
"games/" tree containing the original DOS data files. KeenFiles::setupFilenames
|
||||
(src/fileio/KeenFiles.h:36-57) names them by episode number:
|
||||
|
||||
Vorticon trilogy (episodes 1-3, Keen 1/2/3)
|
||||
egagraph.ck{N}, egahead.ck{N}, egadict.ck{N},
|
||||
audio.ck{N}, audiohed.ck{N}, audiodct.ck{N},
|
||||
gamemaps.ck{N}, maphead.ck{N}
|
||||
Galaxy trilogy (episodes 4-6, Keen 4/5/6)
|
||||
same naming, {N} = 4..6
|
||||
Keen Dreams (episode 7, "KDREAMS")
|
||||
KDREAMSDICT.EGA, KDREAMS.AUD, AUDIODCT.KDR, AUDIOHHD.KDR, plus KDREAMS.EXE
|
||||
(CExeFile.cpp:190-195 reads kdreams.exe to extract the Dreams tiles)
|
||||
|
||||
Episode 1-6 shareware and demo files are freely redistributable under the
|
||||
Apogee/3D Realms terms; the registered Keen 4-6 and Keen Dreams data remain
|
||||
commercial. CPatcher.cpp:129-140 lets a patch file override the default names
|
||||
so GOG/Steam variants work in-place.
|
||||
|
||||
cosmos engine (added as a git submodule by the build) looks for Cosmo's
|
||||
Cosmic Adventures data (COSMOx.STN, VOLUMES.STN, etc.) using the same
|
||||
directory-per-game layout; those files are not profiled here because the
|
||||
cosmos sub-engine is a separate upstream (Dringgstein/cosmos, pinned to
|
||||
8497b5696c92b13ede4f5ad01dfb577b208404cb by cgenius.mk).
|
||||
|
||||
Game directories are searched under the user's roms root. The engine then
|
||||
loads from vfsroot/global/ at startup — fonts, trophy UI, generic sounds —
|
||||
which is bundled with the install, not with the Keen data.

Recalbox's standalone ARM port of Final Burn Alpha, lineage pifba (originally
|
||||
by Franxis / Oopsware for the GP2X, modernised to SDL2 by Recalbox). The
|
||||
binary is installed as fba2x and runs with a ZIP path on the command line
|
||||
(rpi/main.cpp:187 — "Usage: fba2x <path to rom><shortname>.zip").
|
||||
|
||||
BIOS and ROM archives are resolved relative to szAppRomPath, hardcoded to
|
||||
"roms/" in rpi/bzip.cpp:4 and overridden only through the rom path argument.
|
||||
BzipOpen (rpi/bzip.cpp:355-394) iterates BurnDrvGetZipName(z) for every
|
||||
BIOS/parent slot and opens "<roms/><name>" directly — no fallback
|
||||
directory walking.
|
||||
|
||||
Shared BIOS ROM sets flagged BDF_BOARDROM in the driver source:
|
||||
- neogeo (burn/neogeo/d_neogeo.cpp) — SNK Neo Geo system BIOS
|
||||
- pgm (burn/pgm/d_pgm.cpp) — IGS PGM board BIOS
|
||||
|
||||
CPS1 and CPS2 titles embed their program/encryption ROMs directly in each
|
||||
game archive — no CPS board BIOS zip. CPS3 (burn/cps3/d_cps3.cpp) carries
|
||||
the SH-2 BIOS as a BRF_BIOS member of each game's archive (red-earth,
|
||||
jojo, sfiii, etc.), so there is no shared cps3.zip here either.
|
||||
|
||||
pifba is a FROZEN snapshot of Final Burn Alpha 0.2.97.x with ARM-specific
|
||||
speedhacks (NEOGEO_HACKS, OOPSWARE_FIX, USE_SPEEDHACKS) and a reduced driver
|
||||
set compared with upstream FBA / FBNeo: 32 BIOS entries in d_neogeo.cpp vs
|
||||
~45 in modern FBNeo, no newer Neo Geo UniBios revisions (uni-bios.10 through
|
||||
uni-bios.13 are commented out), no Hyper Street Fighter 2 refresh, and no
|
||||
SNK Hyper NeoGeo 64. Keep this separate from fbalpha2012 (libretro port of
|
||||
the same base) because it does not share binaries or load behaviour.

Open-source port of E. Hashimoto's 2008 Japanese freeware Metroidvania Hydra
|
||||
Castle Labyrinth. ptitSeb's SDL/SDL2/SDL3 fork is used by batocera (the
|
||||
package batocera/ports/hcl pins HCL_VERSION to this commit).
|
||||
|
||||
The engine opens every data file from a relative "data/" prefix hard-coded
|
||||
in the sources:
|
||||
- qda.c:19 — strcpy(fullPath, "data/") before appending qda chunk names
|
||||
- hero.c:202 — fopen("data/save.tmp", "rb")
|
||||
- sdl2/audio.c:30 — strcpy(buff, "data/") before midi/wav loads
|
||||
- sdl2/graphics.c, sdl3/graphics.c — fopen("data/bmp.qda", "rb")
|
||||
- game.h:184 — savename macro = "data/save.tmp"
|
||||
Save files are rewritten in that same relative data/ tree, so the game must
|
||||
be launched from a working directory that contains data/ (batocera copies
|
||||
the shipped data/ beside the binary).
|
||||
|
||||
The 31 MB data/ tree is shipped in the source repository and is open content.

||||
Nothing else is required.

Open-source Turrican-inspired platformer by Poke53280 / HurricanGame. The
|
||||
tree ships all shipping assets under Hurrican/data/ (93 MB): textures,
|
||||
levels, music, sfx, shaders, plus a bundled gamecontrollerdb.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine resolves two paths at startup, both set in Hurrican/src/Main.cpp
|
||||
(main() at line 342):
|
||||
* g_storage_ext — the data root used for every asset load. Taken from the
|
||||
-data= CLI flag first (Main.cpp:349-353), then from the compile-time
|
||||
USE_STORAGE_PATH macro (355-363), falling back to "." (365).
|
||||
* g_save_ext / g_config_ext — the user-writable save and config directory,
|
||||
from -save= CLI flag then XDG_DATA_HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME under UNIX
|
||||
(369-389).
|
||||
|
||||
Everything the game loads is under <g_storage_ext>/data/:
|
||||
data/textures/* — DX8Font.cpp:160, DX8Graphics.cpp:393-407 (shaders),
|
||||
TextureAtlas class and loadImageSDL calls
|
||||
data/shaders/<glsl_ver>/ — DX8Graphics.cpp:393-407 (vert/frag per renderer)
|
||||
data/levels/<name>.lev — Tileengine.cpp:324-330
|
||||
data/music/ — SoundManager Mp3/OGG loads
|
||||
data/sfx/ — SoundManager LoadSound
|
||||
data/gamecontrollerdb.txt (joystick remapping)
|
||||
|

All data is open content; no retail or BIOS files needed.

Open-source M.U.G.E.N.-compatible 2D fighting game engine, written in Go.
|
||||
Reads the Elecbyte .def / .air / .cmd / .cns / .sff / .snd files that
|
||||
commercial and community M.U.G.E.N. content ships with.
|
||||
|
||||
The binary comes with the engine's own motif-neutral core data (bundled with
|
||||
the install, not retail BIOS):
|
||||
data/ — common definitions, stage shell, screenpack parameters
|
||||
(action.zss, common.air, common.cmd, common.const,
|
||||
common1.cns.zss, dizzy.zss, functions.zss, guardbreak.zss,
|
||||
score.zss, system.base.def, tag.zss, training.zss)
|
||||
external/ — icons, mods template, lua scripts, GLSL shaders
|
||||
font/ — fallback TTF fonts (Open Sans) and 3x5 bitmap fonts
|
||||
(default-3x5-bold.def/sff, default-3x5.def/sff, debug.def)
|
||||
|
||||
Characters, stages, and motifs are user-supplied. system.go:2630 and
|
||||
script.go:1174 enforce the convention that any character path lacking the
|
||||
"chars/" prefix is rewritten to "chars/<name>", so content drops into
|
||||
chars/, stages/, data/<motif>/ under the install root.
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing in Ikemen itself is a BIOS. The engine refuses to run with no motif,
|
||||
but ships a stub select screen and the common.* lifebar config, so a user
|
||||
character and stage are enough to boot.

batocera/emulators/python-pygame2 pins the standard pygame/pygame 2.6.1

wheel; nothing about pygame itself ships game data.

Retro game engine for Python by Takashi Kitao. The engine is a Python
|
||||
package with a Rust-based extension (crates/pyxel-core, built via maturin).
|
||||
Pyxel programs are either .py scripts that import pyxel or self-contained
|
||||
.pyxapp bundles (zip archives containing a startup script plus assets).
|
||||
|
||||
There is no external BIOS, firmware, or retail data to collect. Everything
|
||||
the engine needs ships inside the Python wheel:
|
||||
python/pyxel/ — Python API, fonts, shader, examples
|
||||
crates/pyxel-core/ — Rust engine (compiled as pyxel_extension)
|
||||
crates/pyxel-platform/ — SDL2 wrapper
|
||||
crates/pyxel-wrapper/ — Python ↔ Rust glue (PyO3)
|
||||
|
||||
Batocera's packaging (package/batocera/emulators/python-pyxel/python-pyxel.mk)
|
||||
installs the wheel into site-packages, drops the examples, and provides a
|
||||
pyxel.keys evmapy layout. The content run by Pyxel is the user's .pyxapp or
|
||||
.py file, which plays the role of a cartridge; those are user content, not
|
||||
pack contents.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine refuses nothing on startup; a bare `pyxel init` plus a user
|
||||
script is enough to run.

Modern Jedi engine reimplementation by Lucius Dark, supporting LucasArts
|
||||
Dark Forces (shipping) and Outlaws (in-progress).
|
||||
|
||||
TFE itself bundles the engine data under TheForceEngine/ in the source tree,
|
||||
which batocera.ports/theforceengine.mk rsyncs to
|
||||
/usr/share/batocera/datainit/system/configs/theforceengine/ on install:
|
||||
Captions/ Documentation/ ExternalData/ Fonts/
|
||||
Mods/ Shaders/ SoundFonts/ UI_Text/ UI_Images/
|
||||
|
||||
The user is expected to supply the retail game data. Dark Forces is probed
|
||||
by checking for DARK.GOB in the configured source-data path
|
||||
(TheForceEngine/main.cpp:484-485, with PATH_SOURCE_DATA from TFE_Paths).
|
||||
|
||||
Dark Forces loader list (TFE_DarkForces/darkForcesMain.cpp:70-83):
|
||||
c_gobFileNames[] = DARK.GOB, SOUNDS.GOB, TEXTURES.GOB, SPRITES.GOB
|
||||
c_optionalGobFileNames[] = enhanced.gob
|
||||
The DOS retail Dark Forces floppy and CD both ship DARK.GOB, SOUNDS.GOB,
|
||||
TEXTURES.GOB, SPRITES.GOB; enhanced.gob is the TFE-only HD asset pack.
|
||||
|
||||
Dark Forces official patch v1.22 (df_patch4) is pulled by the build script as
|
||||
df_patch4.zip from df-21.net and dropped under Mods/, so the engine applies
|
||||
the retail v1.22 patches on top of any user retail install (THEFORCEENGINE_
|
||||
PATCH_SOURCE in the batocera mk). The patch itself is bundled with the
|
||||
emulator, not with the retail data.
|
||||
|
||||
Outlaws loader (TFE_Outlaws/outlawsMain.cpp) looks for the Outlaws retail
|
||||
data in a separate configured directory. The level/sound/texture GOBs it
|
||||
needs are OL.GOB (Outlaws main .gob) and the game's .LAB packages.
