Verifying Torin's Passage (1995) (Sierra On-Line)

Checklist

Have adequate installation instructions been provided to match any config files in the DOSZ?
Yes, there are already instructions for reproducing RESOURCE.CFG. It's needed in the DOSZ to give paths for a no-CD setup.

GOG variant: A copy of RESOURCE.CFG was missing from the DOSC, I added it there.

Have any official patches been applied, if necessary?
Yes, a patch has already been applied. Note that the current link to Sierra Help seems to be down, but I don't know if it's temporary, so I didn't change it in the dat. If it continues, this source also works:
https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4448/7/53814/download

Is the game data in the root of the ZIP (unless game does not work that way)?
Yes.

For games which include CD images, is there a smaller installation variant that offers the same features but needs less files?
All files are installed for a no-CD setup.

Is the entry in the right variant file (i.e. Freeware)?
Yes.

Have digital versions (Steam, GOG) been checked for matching?
Yes, it already has a GOG variant added.

Can the game benefit from using embedded data or embedded patches in the datfile?
Both variants: Yes, I added embedded data to RESOURCE.CFG.

Can DoDAT build the game from the install media?
Yes, when the patch files are also present.

If the game requires a yml in the DOSZ, has it been added to the yml folder in the repo?
Not applicable.

Are there .PIF or .ICO or Win32 .EXE files that could be excluded?
No.

Do the file timestamps match the installation media?
Yes.

Does the DOSZ run standalone?
Yes.

For CD games, can the game be set up to run without a CD mounted?
Yes, it already uses a no-CD setup.

Can the game benefit from using CHDtoOGG?
There are no audio tracks.

Is the game creating a swap file in the .pure.zip that could be avoided by increasing memory size? Or is it creating other bloated files that could be prevented by adding them in the DOSZ?
No.

Does the DOSC contain problematic data (i.e. copyright issue)?
No.

Does the DOSC have copy protection removed, if possible?
There is no copy protection.

Is the game running at the correct speed? Is CPU year specified?
Yes, it has cpu_max_year: 1995 set.

Is the DOSC auto-running and skipping past any obstructions? Is it updated to use WAITMODECHANGE if possible?
Yes.

Does the game have MT-32 support? If so, is it correctly using MT-32 (old) or CM-32L (new), going by the Vogons Wiki?
No.

Does the game have General MIDI support?
No.

Is the game set up to run with the best quality graphics options by default?
Not applicable.

For certain old games only - are the graphics/audio improved by specifying video_card: pcjr, tandy, or generic_cga?
Not applicable.

Does the game have a mouse cursor that benefits from enabling input_directmouse?
It doesn't seem needed here.

Does a game with separate episodes/executables have the options named and ordered properly in the DOSZ? Do they use the run_utility feature?
Not applicable.

Does the game share saves with a sequel, expansion, etc? If so, is it updated to use the .savename feature?
Not applicable.
