This project has closed: use SMS Launcher
The features of this fork are going into the official sms-pc-port and SMS Launcher by chasem-dev, who made the port, as pull requests. SMS Launcher is the launcher to use from now on: it sets the game up from your own disc image and keeps it up to date.
What this final version does
When you start the game, a single screen in SMS Launcher's own style replaces the launcher. Get SMS Launcher then:
- Backs up your memory card to a dated
SMS PC Port save backupfolder in your home folder. - Moves your saves. If you kept them somewhere other than the usual folder (
save_dir), they are copied to where SMS Launcher looks for them (%APPDATA%\sms-port\card-aon Windows,~/.local/share/sms-port/card-aon Linux). If you never changed it, they are already there. A memory card that SMS Launcher already has is never overwritten. - Downloads the latest SMS Launcher from its GitHub releases, with progress and Cancel, to your Downloads folder.
- Starts it: the installer on Windows, or the AppImage on Linux.
Nothing is deleted: your disc image, mods and old saves stay where they are.
