Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole

Game: Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole (Mega Drive / Genesis, 1992)

MD

A static recompilation of Landstalker for the Mega Drive, called Project-Friday, that runs as a native program on Windows, Linux, and the Steam Deck. The 68000 code of your ROM is translated to C and compiled on your PC the first time it starts; the video and sound chips are still emulated with Genesis Plus GX. With every option off the game plays like the cartridge; on top of that it adds, in an Options tab of the Start menu, 16:10 and 16:9 widescreen with real map content, removal of the sprite limit, CRT filters, shadows, a modern HUD, quick save and load, quick items and equipment, sprint, fast forward, and menus in English or German, plus experimental features (Friday hints and a dungeon map). The README says Windows is still experimental. Version 1.5.0 (October 31) is the latest of 23 releases, with an AppImage and a Windows zip; the package contains neither the ROM nor code generated from it, and it carries the Zig compiler that builds the game. 100 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
