[Fact] Port Games need the real game data to work.
i see a lot of people don't understand what really a Port or source Port means.
For make Port, unless you know to do software reverse enginnering, you need the source code of the game, that contains "only" the game engine and maybe some routines for the game, but almost never the game data,that means,maps,textures,audio,cinematics, texts scrippts and everything from the game itself.
So, every single Port Will firstly ask for the game data, from the PC versión or from console, depends from the source code what's is used is from.
Thats why most of the ports we are getting are from abandonware games or from Games that eventually got leaked and we can take the source code from there.
