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)
