What is the Princed Project all about?
The Princed Project is the sum of many sub-projects related to Prince of Persia. Such software includes level editors, graphic and sound editors, resource extractors, and a new open source engine for the game. All the software in this website is Free Software, and is also available for several platforms.
I have started this project and found a lot of people who wanted to help. After several years a big nostalgic community had grown. I want to help all the people who gave a lot to this project and I’m very proud of it.
Together with the project coworkers, we’ve used our spare time to reverse engineering the original game understanding all the format and produced a big specification of it. I’ve created a program to decompress the game graphic, sound and maps and convert them into standard format helping the people to edit the game. Thanks to this project and RoomShaker, a level editor created by Brendon James, there are more than 40 new mods of the game.
You can find resources on the project homepage: PR is the decompressor to extract the files, PV3 is a level editor, CusPOP is a web-based game editor capable of creating new .exe files with the desired customization.
