NFL Blitz 2003 PC v1.0

First release of the NFL Blitz 2003 PC port: the GameCube game recompiled to native code for Windows and Linux (including the Steam Deck).

You need your own NFL Blitz 2003 (USA) GameCube disc image (ISO, RVZ, WIA, CISO or GCZ). No game data is included; on first start the game compiles itself from your disc (a minute or two, about five on a Steam Deck).

Windows: unzip NFLBlitz2003-windows-x64.zip, run NFLBlitz2003.exe and pick your disc image. The one-time compile needs Python 3 and the Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools (C++ and Clang).

Linux / Steam Deck: unpack NFLBlitz2003-linux-x64.tar.xz and run NFLBlitz2003/NFLBlitz2003. Everything for the compile comes with the package (python3 is part of SteamOS and desktop Linux). Runs on Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian 12 era systems and newer with a Vulkan driver.

Highlights: native widescreen, high resolutions with MSAA, a settings menu usable with a controller (Esc / Back / Z+Start), the game's cheats without codes, disc selection, and updates from this page from inside the game. See the README for details.
