# SDLPAL is an open-source reimplementation of the classic Chinese RPG
|
|
# "Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan" (Sword and Fairy / PAL) by SoftStar Inc.
|
|
#
|
|
# It does NOT include any game data. The original game files are proprietary
|
|
# and must be obtained separately (e.g. from the Steam release).
|
|
#
|
|
# The core accepts a .cfg file pointing to the game directory (needs_fullpath).
|
|
# When launched without a game (supports_no_game = true), it looks for data
|
|
# in <system_dir>/sdlpal/ (libretro.c:201-204).
|
|
#
|
|
# Data file search (util.c:728-781, UTIL_CheckResourceFiles):
|
|
# Required: 13 common .mkf archives + message file (word.dat or m.msg)
|
|
# Optional: sound files (voc.mkf, sounds.mkf), music files (midi.mkf, mus.mkf)
|
|
#
|
|
# Additional optional files loaded at runtime:
|
|
# desc.dat - object descriptions (global.c:204, DOS version only)
|
|
# mus.mkf - MIDI music archive (audio.c:305)
|
|
#
|
|
# All files are game data, not BIOS or firmware. No system files are needed
|
|
# beyond the original game resource files.
|
|
|
|
notes: |
|
|
No BIOS or firmware required. SDLPAL is a game engine that needs the
|
|
original PAL (Sword and Fairy) game data files to run.
|
|
|
|
Place game files in <system_dir>/sdlpal/ or point a .cfg file at the
|
|
game directory. The game is available on Steam (app 1546570).
|
|
|
|
The core supports both DOS (original 1995) and Win95 (1998 remake)
|
|
versions of the game data. It auto-detects which version is present.
