It comes with the 'shareware' version of the game. Shareware is like an extended demo (often containing the first episode of the game). They were really common on the PC back in the early-mid 90s when many PC games were distributed through mail order. Quake, Doom etc. also have shareware versions.
You can generally just drop in the files from the full game if you want to 'upgrade' it to the full game. In this case, you can replace the shareware version of duke3d.grp with the full version.

It's far from a final release, but I will release an update later today. I formatted my PC yesterday and now I'm setting everything back up
I don't have any ios device so I can't help you with that, but I am just about to upload a new version and this time I will compress it into a regular zip file instead of a tarball
Oh thank you! A regular zip file will definitely work.
I heard there were a lot of bugs in the first version, will this version fix most of them?
I will fix some, not most. The game will be fully playable though with the new build, including the OSK.Oh thank you! A regular zip file will definitely work.
New version released!!!! It includes OSK, CirclePad and C-Stick support.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
