v0.2.0

New Super Mario Bros. U, native PC port, v0.2.0

This release contains no game files, no game code and no keys. You need your own disc dump
(.wux/.wud with its disc key, plus the Wii U common key from your console), a Cemu .wua archive
(no keys needed), or an already extracted game folder. The installer builds the game from it on your machine.

Install: download the zip for your system, unzip it anywhere and start NSMBU. The
first start prepares the game once from your dump (about two minutes); later starts launch it directly.
Everything stays in that folder.

• macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+): NSMBU.app. The release is not signed by Apple:
  macOS 15+: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway; macOS 14: right-click > Open.
  Keep the app inside the unzipped folder (move the whole folder, not just the app)
• Windows (x86-64): NSMBU.exe (SmartScreen: "More info" > "Run anyway")
• Linux (glibc 2.35+, Vulkan): nsmbu-launcher; linux-x86_64 for x86-64, linux-aarch64 for arm64
  (Raspberry Pi 5, Asahi Linux, ARM laptops). Or one file: chmod +x the .AppImage and start it
  from anywhere (Steam Deck included); its game, code, saves and settings go to ~/.local/share/nsmbu
  and ~/.config/nsmbu instead of beside it (Ubuntu 24.04+: libfuse2t64, or
  --appimage-extract-and-run)

See "Install" in the README for details.

What's new

• Fix: The crash in World 1-1 is fixed.
