- The main executable of the PAL review version.
- The
TITLE.BINandDUN.BINoverlays.
- A copy of Dark Cloud (ideally the PAL version).

Linux / macOS
./build.sh <configuration>Windows
build.bat <configuration>./run.sh <configuration> [arguments]Native runs through run.bat or run.sh keep runtime files in the ignored
port/run/ directory: extracted data in data/, saves and settings in save/,
and soundtrack files, icons and relative screenshot output alongside them.
Relative input and output arguments resolve from port/run/; use absolute paths
for files elsewhere. Build output stays in port/build/.
