z2rs v0.3.0

on GitHub

Desktop builds of z2rs. Download the archive for your system and unpack
it. Double-click z2rs-launcher (z2rs.app on macOS), pick your ROM,
and press Play. The game remembers the ROM, so later you can also start
z2rs directly. HOW-TO-PLAY.txt in the archive lists the controls and
where settings and saves are kept.

No ROM is included and none is uploaded anywhere. You need your own
Zelda II (USA) .nes file.

From a terminal, run the game directly:

./z2rs --rom /path/to/zelda2.nes [--scale 3] [--fullscreen]

./z2rs --help lists every flag. z2-signal is the signalling server
for online co-op, and you only need it if you host your own instead of
using the public one the launcher points at.

These builds are not code signed, so each system warns the first time:

• macOS: right-click z2rs.app and choose Open. On newer macOS, if
  that does not offer Open, try once, then go to System Settings >
  Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. If macOS still refuses, run
  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine z2rs.app in the unpacked folder.
• Windows: SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC". Click More
  info, then Run anyway.
• Linux: if the files do not start, run
  chmod +x z2rs z2rs-launcher z2-signal.

SHA256SUMS lists the checksum of every archive.
