Fixed a bug which caused the splitter to falsely detect a guard falling out of the screen, when the player merely left the room of a living guard.
Here is the updated version, now with splits for levels 1-9:

Re: Do events have (unimplemented) timers?
What I don't know is where is it set to 31 (0x1F) which means "jammed". When a guard dies on a drop button? (I didn't look at the code. Just a guess.) That would be logical, but I can't find any call to set_doorlink_timer() which could to that. I added a debug printout in animate_button()...

Re: Trick differences between SNES and DOS
Trick 4 (guard disables spikes) doesn't seem to work on the SNES. It's hard to see, but there is a spiked guard behind the spiked prince. guard_does_not_disable_spikes.png (This is on level 2, next to the exit.) And somehow this guard survived falling into spikes (while the was off-screen?). how_did...

Re: Do events have (unimplemented) timers?
While browsing through my leapop code, I noticed that it combines bits 3-7 of the 2nd events byte for an events timer (arEventsTimer). [...] I do not recall how I even know it's a "timer", it's not documented as such in poirot's specs either. It may come from the SDLPoP source? https://gi...

Re: Disassembly of PoP1 SNES
Sweet. I see the autosplitter uses in-game time, which could be rather useful for a more exact in-game time. By the way, I changed the timing method in the layout back from Game Time to Current Timing Method, because I finally figured out how to select Game Time as the current. (right click -> Comp...

Re: SDLPoP; David's open-source port of PoP
Can anyone tell me how the program knows that PRINCE/ has a collection of res151-173.png images that are part of a certain chtab that goes from 0-22 (and not e.g. 23)? The number of images is in the first byte of the palette, res150.pal in your example. 0x17 = 23 means that image IDs go from 150+1 ...

Re: SDLPoP v1.23 release candidate
- Maybe the splash screen should mention README.md instead of doc/Readme.txt, now that the latter refers to the former. (The same for --help.) Fixed: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/commit/96ebfe3eff09901f8737d33535efce97292e325a - Maybe remove QUICKSAVE.SAV and screenshots/, that both appear in .g...

Re: SDLPoP; David's open-source port of PoP
(I wanted to post this a week ago, but the forum kept timing out then...) As an example, the documentation says, "T: Toggle display of timer". To me, "T" is a capital t, which makes me do Shift+t, which increases hit points. [Edit: Maybe it is just me and my programmer mind. That...

Re: Disassembly of PoP1 SNES
[...] if the game kept track of the guards killed and potions drank, we could assign a split for each time it checks for when a guard is killed and a potion has been drunk, [...] For example: Level 1 splits: - Heal potion at room 8, tile 27 - Heal potion at room 12, tile 4 - Sword (if there's a che...

Re: SDLPoP; David's open-source port of PoP
- Feedback from gcc 11.3.0. In options.c, function load_dos_exe_modifications(), opcode - interestingly, for the "else if" - may be used uninitialized. Could this be another gcc bug, like this one ? And now I too got this warning, when I compiled for release. It appears with the -O2 optio...

PoP for the Atari ST
Atari Mania has two articles about the Atari ST version of PoP: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-prince-of-persia_20993.html Curiously, on the second page of the ST Format article, an image caption claims this: (emphasis mine) In the course of the game you come across hosts of potions.
