Getting the original Allegro DAT format to work was like fighting the final boss with 1 live.
That cursed tool grabber… more like grab-your-sanity-and-run! What a pain!

Thankfully, I got some help (from "out of cash" author) and cooked up my own DAT file. But of course, like any good retro project, there’s always a twist: the PCX format is only partially supported now. So loading the DAT? Cue the wall of warning messages…
But hey — it still works! 

The best part? Loading times are now dramatically faster in the MS-DOS version (RIODOS.zip).
I’ve marked it as beta, since I didn’t have time to test all levels. If something breaks… well, that’s part of the charm, right? 😅

No mercy!
