I've managed to build DROD from wishing to use it with the data from the King's Dugan Dungeon and Journey To The Rooted Hold I bought long time ago.

Unfortunately, it appears the compiled DROD expects some data format I would call "version 5" as it tries to load "Data/drod5_0.dat", and fails, while those games I'd like to run contain "Data/drod2_0.dat".

The original post about releasing of the DROD source code says
it should be possible to copy the "Data" directory from either the demo or full version of JtRH/TCB/GatEB/TSS
(emphasis mine) so I assumed I could do what I wanted, but it appears can only run some later games from the DROD lineage.

So, what gives? Is there any way to use hand-compiled DROD with KDD and JtRH?

Older dats need older versions of the source code, found here: https://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=98165

The newer engines have all the elements from the newer games so the dats will need to include the media they need.
