+notes: |
+  The BennuGD interpreter built with every module linked in, from the Google
+  Code bennugd-monolithic project moved to SDL 2. EmuELEC builds this revision
+  for Streets of Rage Remake and runs bgdi on SorR.dat from ports/sorr, after
+  checking the file is there.
+  ref: README.md:1-3, README.md:24-25,
+       EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/bennugd-monolithic/package.mk:4-5,32-36,
+       EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/sources/ports.yaml:501-515
+
+  The only file bgdi needs is the game's code block: a bytecode file appended
+  to the executable, else the file named on the command line, tried as given
+  then with .dcb, .dat and .bin appended. Graphics, sounds and fonts are
+  opened by the game's own code by the names it carries. No system file is
+  read.
