System Shock CD and Enhanced Edition copies not recognized fully by game-data-packager

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

> about dosbox:

This would be technically possible (there's a proof of concept in the
git three and wip/skyroads.yaml)
but there are sooo many games; first goal is games with a free engine.

> Commander Keen

There are several engines. CloneKeen and refkeen and Commander Genius.
The source code drop came after the first reverse engineering attempts
so it' unclear to me what is best.

GDP packaging of assets and Debian packaging of engines is not synchronous;
sometimes the GDP part get done but the engine packaging stay in ITP/RFP limbo.

> System Shock
Is it recognized by scummvm ?

So: Let's first look a scummvm source code if there are several versions.
Beware: the checksums there are computed on the first x bytes of
discriminating files.

Greetings

Alexandre
