Golden Sun Recompiled - first test release (2026-10-02)

First test release. Expect some rough edges, and please report what you find.

How to play

1. Download GoldenSunRecompiled-2026-10-02.zip below and unzip it anywhere.
2. Start GoldenSunLauncher.exe and pick your own Golden Sun (USA/Europe) game file. Nothing from the game is included; your game file is never changed. No BIOS needed.
3. The first start takes several minutes: the game is built from your game file on your PC. A progress bar shows how far along it is. Don't close it. After that it starts straight away.

Windows 10 / 11 only. Linux, Steam Deck and macOS are not supported, and there are no promises that they will be. It did not run on Linux through Steam's Proton.

Found a bug?

Press F12 right after it happens: the game keeps the last 2 seconds. Close the game, and the launcher packs a zip on your PC and offers to open the bug report form. Nothing is sent automatically.
