DrMario — Linux (AppImage, initial/experimental)

Initial experimental Linux release — x86_64 AppImage.

Bring your own ROM. Place your legally-dumped Dr. Mario (.nes) ROM in the same folder as the AppImage; it's auto-detected at launch. No ROM is included.

Run it

chmod +x DrMario-x86_64.AppImage
./DrMario-x86_64.AppImage          # add --appimage-extract-and-run if FUSE is unavailable

Steam Deck / controllers — the AppImage reads the controller natively. In Desktop mode, launch through Gaming Mode (or set a Gamepad controller layout) so face buttons aren't remapped to keyboard keys.

Production build — no debug server / tooling. Early, experimental Linux port; expect rough edges. Source: this repo.

Dr. Mario NES Recompilation v1.0.0

Dr. Mario NES Recompilation v1.0.0

First public release. Static recompilation of Dr. Mario (NES) to native x64.

Features

• Full title screen, options menu, and 1-player gameplay
• Configurable keyboard controls via keybinds.ini (Player 1 + Player 2)
• TOML-based recompiler configuration (game.toml)
• CHR ROM bank switching (all 4 banks)
• Save states (F6/F7)
• Turbo mode (F5)
• All three music types work (Fever, Chill, Off)

Known Issues

• Audio plays slightly faster than original hardware. The VBlank timing mechanism (ops counter) doesn't perfectly match NES cycle timing, causing music and sound effects to play at a slightly elevated tempo. This is a framework-level issue being tracked for a future fix.
• 2-player mode is untested (keyboard controls are mapped but gameplay is unverified)
• Level completion cutscenes and ending sequences are untested
