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.

       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.
