SdlPop

Overview

SdlPop is the open-source port of the original Prince of Persia. REG-Linux links it to the ports group and expects the original assets inside the sdlpop directory.

Quick reference

• ROM folder: /userdata/roms/sdlpop
• Accepted formats: .sdlpop, .squashfs
• Emulator: sdlpop
• System group: ports

BIOS

No BIOS is required.

ROMs

Drop a valid .sdlpop archive—or a .squashfs container that includes it—into /userdata/roms/sdlpop/. The core reads the archive directly; no additional folders or config files are needed.

Emulators

SDLPop

The SDLPop binary exposes the usual video/input overrides (sdlpop.videomode, sdlpop.ratio, sdlpop.padtokeyboard, sdlpop.decoration). Use the Quick Menu ([HOTKEY] + ) or the EmulationStation advanced options to adjust shaders, scaling, or controller mapping.

Controls

The default overlay maps movement to the d-pad and actions to the face buttons, with shoulder buttons triggering jump or sword swings. Refer to the overlay if you need to remap the controls.

Troubleshooting

• If SDLPop fails to launch, double-check the .sdlpop file is intact and case-sensitive.
• Visit the generic support pages if you encounter odd input or video behavior.
