The profile is pinned to the\n2.55.17 tag.\n\nEvery engine file is opened by a path relative to the working directory.\nAt startup the player reads the module file named in zc.cfg, the GUI\npalette, the fonts datafile, sfx.dat, the cursor and the seven built-in\nMIDI tunes, and stops with a fatal error when any of them is missing. The\ntitle graphics come from modules/classic/title_gfx.dat. The module file\nalso names classic_zelda.dat, classic_zquest.dat and a base NSF. The\nplayer opens none of them: classic_zquest.dat is the editor's datafile\n(src/zq/zquest.cpp:25820), and the release ships no classic_zelda.dat.\n\nSettings are read from base_config/zc.cfg, then overridden by zc.cfg\n(src/zconfig.cpp:12-74). Both are user configuration.\nmodules/classic/default.qst and classic_zquest.dat serve the editor\n(src/qst.cpp:1104-1117, src/zq/zquest.cpp:3255-3323).
