v1.5.0 — Linux (AppImage)

Native Linux build of the v1.5.0 recompilation, packaged as a self-contained x86_64 AppImage.

Usage

  1. Download ZeldaNES-x86_64.AppImage and make it executable: chmod +x ZeldaNES-x86_64.AppImage
  2. Drop your legally-obtained Legend of Zelda (USA) .nes ROM in the same folder — the AppImage auto-detects it. (Or pass the ROM path as an argument.)
  3. Run it.

Notes

  • Includes the pre-boot GUI launcher with a real Linux file picker; reads its config beside the .AppImage.
  • Steam Deck: reads the built-in gamepad natively (no Steam keyboard remap needed).
  • Battery saves land next to the ROM.
  • Built against the nesrecomp framework at master 068cfcf.

This Linux build is newer and less battle-tested than the Windows release; please file issues if you hit problems.
