Prince of Persia 2: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Prince-Monogame is a full C# reimplementation of the game built on MonoGame, playable without needing the original game's data files. Princed Resources is a different kind of tool — a command-line utility for extracting and modifying the DAT resource files (bitmaps, palettes) used by Prince of Persia and its sequel — and requires the original DAT files to operate; it does not reimplement the game itself.
