SDLPoP is an open-source port of the classic DOS game Prince of Persia, built from a disassembly of the original executable and reimplemented in C with SDL2. It faithfully reproduces the original gameplay while adding modern features such as quicksave, replay files, mod support, gamepad input, and configurable options.

Use cases

  • play the original Prince of Persia on modern operating systems
  • run a faithful open-source port of the DOS Prince of Persia
  • play Prince of Persia with a gamepad instead of keyboard
  • create and play custom Prince of Persia mods
  • record and share gameplay replays of Prince of Persia
  • study how the original Prince of Persia DOS game was implemented

When to choose

  • you want to play the original Prince of Persia on Linux, macOS, or Windows
  • you want extra features like quicksave, replays, and mods beyond the DOS original
  • you want a free, open-source alternative to the commercial DOS version
  • you want to study or extend a disassembly-based reimplementation of a classic game

When to avoid

  • you want a modern remake with updated graphics rather than a faithful port
  • you want to play Prince of Persia 2 or The Sands of Time (this is PoP1 only)
  • you need a game engine or framework for building your own games
  • you want a version with officially licensed assets included (you may need the original game files)
