Which client version is pre-re ItemDB (and others?) based on?

[MegaByte]

Hi all,

Which client version should we be looking at for pre-re item/mob/skill db?
Like what is it based on?

I would like to check a few things in the Item DB against a known pre-re client version hopefully the most up to date one to compare the effects/stats from the descriptions.
I recall that they used txt files possibly, but that it was at least before 2010 possibly 2019 client?
Full installs were not made for the last several as they just had players patch to get up to date.

Also can someone please provide a working download link to such a client? (I'm not after latest kRO renewal to then simply patch with English translation project as I already have that I would like to actually compare the info from item descriptions against what we have).
All the links from RMS from years ago are gone/dead links.

I have been making some scripts to load the rAthena item db and system/iteminfo.lua to compare data, it even pulls out and "Unbolloxs" the text.

Example if anyone in future is interested in how to Unbollox the text, I'm using Node.js btw.

const iconv = require('iconv-lite')
iconv.skipDecodeWarning = true // See: https://github.com/ashtuchkin/iconv-lite/wiki/Use-Buffers-when-decoding

function unbolloxLuaString(input) {
    return iconv.decode(iconv.decode(Buffer.from(input), 'iso8859-1'), 'cp949')
}

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Please move to General / General support.
