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.

Originally created by Wei Mingzhi from 2009. Now it is owned 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: The data files required for running the game are not included with the source package due to copyright issues. You need to obtain them from a licensed copy of the game before you can run the game.

Create a new folder named sdlpal in 3ds folder of your SD card.

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

Extract the game data files sdlpal folder (except for 2 folders and the AVI files, they are not needed as music is not supported in 3DS version).

Next open sdlpal.cfg:

Change CODEPAGE=0 to CODEPAGE=1 (delete the # in front of the line to enable it).
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 are now good to play the game in Chinese. Follow the steps below to apply the English patch:

English patch is included in the download (by PalFans).
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, append "MESSAGEFILENAME=./m_eng.slf" (near bottom).
