Re: List and meaning of debug commands

There's a list of debug commands and cheats you can see listed on these pages: https://popuw.com/cheats2.html https://popuw.com/parameters.html This isn't a complete list, though. I thought there was a full list of PoP2 cheats somewhere, but can't find any... G = Something to do with shadow and cha...

Re: Shapeshifting symbols

is it completely random or are there triggers to get a certain symbol? I think both the symbol and its position are random. According to when_are_overlays_loaded.txt in the disassembly, functions specific to level 2 ("desert") are in overlay 0005. (You can find the overlays in the 2014-06...

Re: Forum spam

I wonder if it's a good idea to block/ban IP addresses of spammers, especially for an indefinite length? I am asking this because a few days ago Shauing PMed me because he was blocked by IP address. Thankfully the problem solved itself because he got a new IP address. However, this also means that s...

Re: SDLPoP with custom music

Hello. So I'm using the KJ's 8 in 1 SDLPoP JP pack, and I want a different background music to play from Level 2 onwards. I've created data\music\Level2.ogg for this purpose, but unfortunately, Level 2 still plays the background music from Level1.ogg. Does anyone know what I should do? Is there a c...

Re: popot.org

Something broke non-ASCII characters on popot.org's mod pages. Compare the comments here with an archived version . It also affects the title of this mod (and a few other mods), compare an archived version . Mod titles on user profiles are affected as well. In both cases, the non-ASCII characters ar...

Re: Hacking the SNES ROM

Electronic Gaming Monthly 06.1992, the main screen seemed to be different Nice find, thank you! The background seems to be exp0/81.bmp from snes_graphics.zip . The main menu is different as well. It didn't have TRAINING, instead it had STEREO. I wonder why does the bottom left say you just escaped ...

Re: Can't save games or settings on SDLPoP MacOS

[Disclaimer: I don't have MacOS. The MacOS port of SDLPoP was compiled by Falcury , he has not posted since 2021.] You could check if you can create new files in the directory where SDLPoP.ini and the "prince" executable are. If you can do that, then perhaps the game does not even run from...

Re: Can't save games or settings on SDLPoP MacOS

How and where did you install the game?
It's probably in a folder to which you don't have write access.

Re: Manuals of various versions

The Spanish PoP manual has this written at the bottom of every page:

footer.jpg (5.75 KiB) Viewed 7428 times
Using Character Map and Wiktionary, I transcribed it as:
أَمِير اَلْ إِيرَان

Translation: Prince of Iran

So, this is the title of the game translated to Arabic, except it says Iran instead of Persia.

Re: Prince Of Persia 1 in 1st person 3D

I tried the game. Some observations and questions: The M key displays a map. The triangle which marks my place on the map disappears if I enter the next level. It reappears if I hide the map and show it again. But sometimes the arrow is hidden behind the border of the screen. Sometimes the game disp...

Hallo again, is there a possibility to play the "boss tune" when entering a specific room. Normally i would have used Jaffars room, because there is the tune already integrated, but my final level is level 6 so this won't work. There is a hack for changing the level and the room number of...
