I tried the latest revision (d28041e) with the "Age of Empires Demo" (from here).
As expected, it didn't work, since this port has a fixed data location using the cdrom path. The installed demo has this structure:

I modified a little the paths in the code to match what we have. This is the diff:

However, this still fails with:

Could not load animation 50100: bad id

Is it possible to support the demo? It will allow users to easily test this reimplementation without buying the full game.

Indeed, it would be nice to allow using the demo version without buying the full game.
As you mentioned, the codebase currently has many hardcoded paths that I will get rid of as the engine improves. I will try to incorporate the changes you've pasted (probably this weekend). Thanks for testing my project!

Neat!, let me know if you need any testing. I can also prepare some script/instructions on how to use it (as a PR).

Sorry for the late reply. Life has other plans for me at the moment, but will definitely start working on this next weekend!
