Case study

Onslaught CE: a native Battle Engine Aquila port

Onslaught CE ports Battle Engine Aquila to native 32-bit Linux and Windows builds using the game's public source and a separate matching decompilation. Its SDL3 platform layer supplies window, input and audio support, with Direct3D 9 through dxvk-native on Linux and the system implementation on Windows; retail data comes from the user's installation.
