Flick now runs on Linux too. Work in progress.

New: Linux build (flick-0.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)

  • x86-64 with glibc 2.34 or later (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 35 and newer).
  • Uses the system's SDL2: libsdl2-2.0-0 on Debian and Ubuntu, SDL2 on Fedora, sdl2 on Arch.
  • The BIOS and disc dialogs use zenity or kdialog. With neither, start it once with ./flick --bios /path/to/hyperscan.bin and drop discs on the window.
  • Unpacked in a folder you can write to, it keeps its settings, cards and screenshots there; otherwise in ~/.config/flick and ~/.local/share/flick.
  • Checked under WSL (Ubuntu 24.04): the BIOS boot is identical to MAME's instruction by instruction, and the games run at the same speed as on Windows. Not yet tried on a real Linux desktop: reports are very welcome.

Windows (flick-0.1.1-win64.zip): the same as 0.1.0 for players.

As before you need the HyperScan BIOS (hyperscan.bin) and your own disc images; neither is included. See the README.
