The AppImage is self-contained (needs glibc 2.39 or newer: Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40, Debian 13, Arch): make it executable with chmod +x and run it. The tar.gz uses your system libraries, so Qt 6 and the usual libraries must be installed.

FFmpeg 9.0.2 + dav1d, MinGW package for CI (not an emulator build)

FFmpeg 9.0.2 + dav1d 1.5.4, MinGW (UCRT64) amd64

Static FFmpeg for Eglantine's MinGW builds (windows-x86_64-pgo), in CPMUtil's CI package layout
(CMakeLists.txt, include/, lib/). crueter-ci's MinGW package has no AV1 decoder, so the AV1
movies of Switch 2 titles (Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) played
black on those builds. This is the MinGW counterpart of Takoroka/ffmpeg-av1 9.0.2-av1-1 (MSVC and Linux).

Sources

• FFmpeg 946fcce07b6dcd0331c8cc609192aeff5e1924f8
  with crueter-ci's 0001-steamdeck.patch
  (https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden/raw/commit/ac86f96efadeac4cea0b335cffe3324f95051800/.patch/ffmpeg/0001-steamdeck.patch)
• dav1d 1.5.4: MSYS2's mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-dav1d 1.5.4-1 static library (https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d),
  merged into libavcodec.a
• nv-codec-headers 13.0.19.0 and Vulkan headers 1.4.363 from MSYS2
• Built with MSYS2 UCRT64 GCC 16.2 by build_ffmpeg_av1_mingw.sh (included)

MSYS2's dav1d is compiled with -fstack-protector-strong and _FORTIFY_SOURCE, so CMakeLists.txt
also links mingw-w64's static libssp.a.
