It seemed implausible that nobody had done this already, but I couldn't find any evidence online, so . . . I patched the Prince of Persia 1.3 executable to bypass the tandy bios verifications, and TGA graphics mode now works fine on a tandy-modded Jr.
Music is another matter - I've again bypassed the checks so that you can try selecting tandy 3-voice with this, but you'll get a weird broken version of the music (it sounds like only one voice is used and note stops don't execute, everything just slurs . . .) - I've tried to fix this, but a disassembly just isn't enough (for me) to go on.
You'll need a legal copy of PoP v. 1.3 and a Tandy-modded PCJr to try this - just choose Tandy graphics in the setup program, or use the "tga" argument on the command line.
Prince of Persia patched for 320x200x16 on PCJr
