Aidyn ReChronicled 0.3.0 for Linux (x86_64).

Play: download AidynReChronicled-0.3.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz, unpack it, run bash install.sh (or game/aidyn-rechronicled.sh in
place). The first start asks for your own NTSC-U 1.0 ROM (.z64) and keeps it. The README in the download
has the rest: controls, Aidyn Patch, settings.

Needs glibc 2.38+ (any current distribution), a Vulkan driver and libdbus. Contains no game data. Includes the
newly painted art (portraits, item and slot icons, button prompts, HUD pieces, the first world textures); the
HD menu and world texture packs (upscales of the game's own pictures) aren't part of it.

What's new since 0.2.1

  • Save pictures in full resolution: the Load and Save screens show each save's picture taken from the real
    rendered frame instead of the game's 64x32 smudge. The pictures go into save-pictures/ beside your saves; saves
    made before this keep the small one until you save over them.
  • Button hints in the menus: the treasure screen (Take / Put back, Leave, Switch), shops (Buy / Sell, Appraise,
    Switch), the inventory page (Equip, Unequip or Use for the highlighted item, Lists, and the party buttons when
    there's more than one of you), training after a battle (Train, Lists), and the combat menus held open with Y and X
    (Choose, Release to use).
  • Monsters, people and items from farther away: they appear and move as far out as trees and rocks are drawn
    (80 units at the default draw_distance 2, 120 at 3; the game's own reach was 20), fading in at the edge.
  • No more footsteps from across the map: enemies' footsteps and other animation sounds fade out with distance
    again instead of wrapping around to loud past 15 units.
  • Text fix: text no longer comes out squeezed ("LCAD GAME") when an older HD menu pack is installed; the new
    letter widths are used only with a pack built for them.
  • Steam shortcut: steam_shortcut.py takes --launcher, --art and --icon for a shortcut to another launcher.
