PAL has several variants using different and incompatible resource files. Now SDLPAL supports several configuration options for supporting such variants. To set these configuration options, create a file named as 'sdlpal.cfg' (make sure to use lower-case file name in UNIX-like operating systems) in the game directory created by the above step. If no configuration file exists, SDLPAL uses default values that supports the original resources of DOS version. Please refer to the 'sdlpal.cfg.example' for configuration file format. -END OF FILE-

SDLPAL is a SDL-based open-source cross-platform reimplementation of the classic Chinese RPG game The Legend of Sword and Fairy (Simplified Chinese: 仙剑奇侠传, Traditional Chinese: 仙劍奇俠傳, also known as Chinese Paladin, or PAL for short). It is availble in both Chinese and non-official English.

This port is created by Wei Mingzhi in 2009 and has been taken over by the SDLPAL development team. Many of the ideas of this program are based on documents from PAL Research Project, and portions of the code are based on the work done by Baldur and louyihua.

Note that this program does not include any code or data files of the original game, which are proprietary and copyrighted by SoftStar Inc.

Installation

Note: You must obtain the data files from a licensed copy of the game in order to run it.

Copy the CIA file to your SD card, then create a new folder named sdlpal in 3ds folder of your SD card.

Extract the game data files to the sdlpal folder (except for 2 folders and the AVI files, they are not needed).

Copy the sdlpal.cfg to the sdlpal folder just created (delete the .example at the end of the file name), so you should have sdmc:/3ds/sdlpal/sdlpal.cfg.

Open sdlpal.cfg, change CODEPAGE=0 to CODEPAGE=1 (delete the # in front of the line to enable it).

For n3ds/o3ds:

  • If you are using n3DS, turn on CPU+L2 boost in your CFW menu.
  • If you are using o3DS, open sdlpal.cfg, change both STEREO and USESURROUNDOPL to 0, lower both SAMPLERATE and OPLSAMPLERATE to 22050.

You can now install the CIA file and play the game in Chinese. To apply the English patch (included):

  • Extract everything except sdlpal.cfg in the win directory to the sdlpal directory of the SD card.
  • Overwrite m.msg, sss.mkf and word.dat, add m_chs.slf and m_eng.slf.
  • Open sdlpal.cfg and edit this line MESSAGEFILENAME=./m_eng.slf.
