+notes: |
+  Gregory Montoir's reimplementation of the Heart of Darkness engine (Amazing
+  Studio, 1998), in usineur's fork with the SDL2, PSP and Wii front ends. It
+  plays the Windows demo and CD data and the PlayStation data. EmuELEC builds
+  this revision and starts it with --datapath and --savepath both set to
+  /storage/roms/ports/hode/.
+  ref: README.txt:9-23,
+       EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/hodesdl/package.mk:2-5,
+       EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/sources/ports.yaml:272-283
+
+  The data directory is walked at start for files ending in hod.dem,
+  setup.dat, setup.dax, .paf, _hod.lvl, _hod.sss or _hod.mst, and a name is
+  then matched case-insensitively against that list. A missing rock_hod.lvl
+  stops the version probe, and a missing fort_hod.lvl marks the data as the
+  demo, which plays the first level only.
+  ref: fs_posix.cpp:9-29, fs_posix.cpp:43-54, resource.cpp:28-39,
+       resource.cpp:100-136
+
+  Each level opens <name>_HOD.LVL, and a missing one stops the engine with
+  "Unable to open". Its .MST (monster logic) and .SSS (sounds) are optional:
+  a missing one is logged and left empty, and the PlayStation data carries
+  the sounds inside the .LVL. The cutscenes come from the first of hod.paf,
+  hod_demo.paf, hod_demo2.paf and hod_oem.paf found, and are skipped
+  without one. hode.ini, read from the working directory, holds display and
+  engine settings, setup.cfg the menu settings and progress.
