Known issues

  • Music is simplified: only 9 OPL voices, single-voice instruments only. Two-voice GENMIDI patches are not rendered correctly. Music sounds noticeably different from the original PC version.
  • Pitch bend is parsed but ignored. Notes play at fixed pitch regardless of MUS pitch bend events.
  • No gamma control (usegamma is hardcoded to 0).
  • Nearest-neighbor scaling only. The 320x200 framebuffer is scaled to 960x544 without filtering.
  • No external controller or mouse support.
  • If no WAD file is found, the game logs an error and exits after 5 seconds with no on-screen message.
