Firestaff Wiki

Firestaff reimplements five classic Dungeon Master game engines with source-level parity to the originals. It is a pure C application targeting macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS (AltStore Classic sideload), and Android, rendering via SDL3.

The repository's project status is the canonical short summary for all five games. This wiki supplies the long-form user, engineering and preservation notes; it does not promote a parser or synthetic presentation fixture to full playability.
