Devices
Windows/Linux x64; macOS Intel/Apple Silicon; SDL2 port
Assets
Installed Wing Commander from The Kilrathi Saga, including GAMEDAT and required STREAMS files. Original DOS data is only partially supported.
Notes
Choose an SDL2 package rather than the legacy Win32 reference build. The launcher selects your game folder; keep bundled libraries beside the executable. DOS resources support AdLib/OriginFX audio, but other DOS-specific behavior may differ. The optional OpenGL renderer improves space-object rendering.
