PROJECT OOGIE - The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge for Windows
(an unofficial port of the original Xbox game; not affiliated with Capcom or Disney)

YOU NEED YOUR OWN COPY OF THE GAME: the Xbox version, USA, as a disc image (.iso).
The program contains the game's code translated to native code; the game's art,
sound, films and levels are not included, they come from your disc.

FIRST START
  Run "Project Oogie.exe". It asks for your disc image, checks it is the supported
  version, and copies the game files into the "game" folder here (about 3.5 GB, once).
  Your disc image is only read, never changed.

PLAYING
  F1 (or Back+Start on a pad)   settings: resolution, widescreen, graphics, sound,
                                controls, mods
  F11 or Alt+Enter              fullscreen / window
  F12                           screenshot (saved in "screenshots")
  Keyboard: arrow keys = A B X Y (Down A, Right B, Left X, Up Y), Enter = Start,
            W A S D = walk, I J K L = camera, Backspace = Back (map),
            T F G H = D-pad, 1 / 3 = triggers, Q / E = White / Black.
  Xbox controllers and the PlayStation 5 DualSense are tested; other pads SDL2
  supports (PlayStation 4 and more) should work. Every key and button can be
  changed in the settings.

FILES
  saves\         your saves (backed up to saves_backup\ at every start, ten kept)
  settings.ini   your settings
  mods\          mods and texture packs (F1 > Mods explains)
  logs\play.log  the last session's log; please attach it when reporting a problem

PS2 HD TEXTURES AND BUTTON PROMPTS (optional)
  The fan-made PCSX2 texture packs for the PS2 version by RetroGenerica (with
  Solid Snack) work here too: the "HD Texture Pack" and the "Modern Xbox Buttons"
  pack. They are not included; get them from their author's page:
  https://gbatemp.net/threads/the-nightmare-before-christmas-oogies-revenge-ps2-hd-texture-pack-xbox-button-texture-pack-100-complete-updated-2024.623200/
  Put each pack's folder anywhere inside mods\ (for example mods\PS2 HD\SLUS-20860\textures\);
  the game finds them by themselves. PCSX2's own textures\SLUS-20860 folder in
  Documents is found too.
  F1 > Mods > PS2 HD Textures: on / off.
  F1 > Mods > Button Prompts: Automatic (follows the pad you use), Original
  Xbox, Modern Xbox (needs that pack) or PlayStation (the game's own PS2 art
  for the menus; the dance battle icons come from the HD pack, so put it in
  mods\ too). The pack's PNG edition works as well as the DDS one.
  F1 > Mods shows what the packs give ("HD pack: in use (827 HD textures)").
  If it says a pack was found but its files could not be read, tell us.
  Needs a DirectX 11 graphics card (feature level 11_0).
