Starship is a native PC port of Star Fox 64, built by Harbour Masters from the Star Fox 64 decompilation.

It adds widescreen, higher resolutions and frame rates, a settings menu, custom controls and support for mods and texture packs. Builds are made for Windows and Linux.

The download contains no Nintendo data. On first launch it asks for a ROM dumped from your own copy of the game.

## How to set it up

1. Extract every file from the archive into a folder you can write to.
2. Windows: run `starship.exe`. Linux: run `starship.appimage` (you may need to `chmod +x` it first). macOS: run `starship`.
3. Select your US 1.0 or US 1.1 ROM (in `.z64` format) when asked.
4. On first launch it builds its game data (`sf64.o2r`) from the ROM, next to the executable.
