About

The release ships only the launcher and framework, with no game code, disc or BIOS, and generates the playable build locally from your own disc on first run.

Getting started

Download the setup-host zip from Releases (Windows, Linux or macOS), place your own dumped Strider 2 BIN and CUE files on your computer, start the executable and use Open *.CUE in the launcher. Then select Play; the first launch generates the build automatically using the bundled OpenBIOS.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.

You must own the original game.
You need a legally dumped BIN and CUE for SLUS-01163.

How to install

In the launcher, choose Open *.CUE and select your CUE file.
Select Play; the first launch generates the playable build automatically, while later launches go straight to gameplay.

Summarised from the project's README.

Status & roadmap
