notes: |
|
|
SDLPoP is NagyD's open-source port of the DOS Prince of Persia (1989),
|
|
rebuilt from the leaked Jordan Mechner source and refined through
|
|
years of community reverse engineering. Unlike the other engines in
|
|
this directory, SDLPoP ships with ALL game data in-tree; no retail
|
|
data file is required or useful.
|
|
|
|
open_dat() (src/seg009.c:438) reads an archive named FOO.DAT if
|
|
present, otherwise falls back to a loose folder data/FOO/ containing
|
|
the extracted resources (lines 440-456 and 488-500). The repository
|
|
ships both forms:
|
|
|
|
data/*.DAT files committed:
|
|
DIGISND1.DAT, DIGISND2.DAT, DIGISND3.DAT (digitized SFX)
|
|
MIDISND1.DAT, MIDISND2.DAT (MIDI SFX)
|
|
GUARD.DAT, GUARD1.DAT, GUARD2.DAT (guard graphics variants)
|
|
|
|
data/<name>/ folders committed (extracted resources):
|
|
PRINCE, KID, SHADOW, SKEL, GUARD, GUARD1, GUARD2,
|
|
VIZIER, VPALACE, VDUNGEON, PV, FAT, TITLE,
|
|
IBM_SND1, IBM_SND2, LEVELS, font, music
|
|
|
|
The named folders are the fall-back for the DAT files the loader
|
|
actually requests: PRINCE.DAT (seg000.c:123, 1030-1037, 1067-1072),
|
|
LEVELS.DAT (seg000.c:1153), TITLE.DAT (seg000.c:2298), KID / GUARD /
|
|
SHADOW / SKEL / FAT / VPALACE / VDUNGEON / VIZIER / PV at level
|
|
switch (seg000.c:1656, 1690). The data/music folder holds the
|
|
OGG/MP3 soundtrack files added by the port.
|
|
|
|
Consequence: retrobios does not supply any file to run the base game.
|
|
Users can drop MOD folders under mods/<MODNAME>/ to layer custom
|
|
level packs on top (open_dat lines 448-452); those are user content,
|
|
not shared BIOS data, and are not tracked here.
