Sonic3K — Linux (AppImage, initial/experimental)
Pre-release
Pre-release
Initial experimental Linux release — x86_64 AppImage.
Bring your own ROM. Place your legally-dumped Sonic 3 & Knuckles (.bin/.md/.gen) ROM in the same folder as the AppImage; it's auto-detected at launch. No ROM is included.
Run it
chmod +x Sonic3K-x86_64.AppImage
./Sonic3K-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.
