v0.3.0-alpha + file picker. Same recompiled core; first-launch
UX changed only.

What's new

  • Runner now pops a native Win32 file picker if no ROM is configured
    (no rom.cfg next to the exe, no baserom.z64 discoverable, no
    CLI arg).
  • Successful picks are saved to rom.cfg so subsequent launches
    go straight into the game.
  • ROM validation (MD5 match against Pokémon Stadium US v1.0) still
    enforced. On mismatch you get a clear MessageBox with the expected
    hash and the picker reopens.
  • argv[1] still honored for scripted runs.

This replaces the v0.3.0-alpha requirement to manually rename and
drop baserom.z64 next to the exe before the first launch.

Setup

  1. Download PokemonStadiumRecomp-v0.3.1-alpha-win64.zip and extract.
  2. Double-click PokemonStadiumRecomp.exe.
  3. Pick your own legal Pokémon Stadium (US v1.0) ROM when prompted.

Everything else (game scope, audio, bugs, requirements)

Same as v0.3.0-alpha — see that release's notes or
