### Details

This project is a mix of console emulation and something like [WINE](https://www.winehq.org/).
It implements the subset of Windows functions used by the game.
OpenSWE1R also contains x86 CPU emulation.
The original games code is replaced by open-source code which is patched into the game at runtime.
This is similar to the approach used by [OpenRCT2](https://openrct2.website/), but more emphasis is put on emulation and platform independence.

Currently, not all functions are implemented in the open-source portion.
Therefore, this project also still relies on the original games binary.
Even if not all code is patched, the game will still work cross-platform due to the API and CPU abstraction.

You will still need the original game for its art assets: levels, sounds, ...

### Goals

The goal is to eventually replace all of the original code with an open-source equivalent.
The code is supposed to be clean, accurate and portable.

It's possible that support for other versions (Mac / Dreamcast / N64) will be added later.
For now, the goal is to support the x86 Windows Version of the game.
