Automatic runtime installation

Automatic runtime installation

The launcher now installs and maintains the native runtime supplied with this release. Players only need their own supported Wii Sports Resort disc image; no developer checkout or game compilation is required.

• Game content is extracted into Resort/Game, with the native executable and its supporting files in Resort/Runtime.
• Opening the launcher or choosing Locate installation verifies the runtime and replaces outdated or missing files with this release’s bundled copy. It is also checked before normal and online play.
• Saves, Miis and settings in Runtime/UserData are preserved. Updates are staged, the previous runtime is retained in a backup folder, and interrupted updates can recover on the next launch.
• Includes the v0.2.1 PyOpenGL EGL/GLX packaging fix.

Updating an existing installation

Extract the entire new archive, run ResortLauncher, choose Locate installation, and select your existing Resort installation. Wait for runtime preparation to finish, then play. Do not copy the executable by itself.

Linux x86_64; glibc 2.38 or newer. System graphics dependencies are still required. See player setup, Arch dependencies and ZeroTier netplay instructions.

This is a testing prerelease. The package build, frozen recovery code and runtime file manifest were verified; gameplay and installation testing are left to testers. Internet netplay validation is still ongoing.
