Building & Running

In order to build the loader you will need to install the following dependencies in a Linux environment. We recommend Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as default, but it may work in various configurations like WSL2, Debian, etc.
Please note other dependencies might be required to run games (see the guide).

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 
sudo apt update 
sudo apt install git build-essential gcc-multilib freeglut3-dev:i386 libsdl2-dev:i386 libfaudio-dev:i386

This emulator will need access to the input devices and serial devices on your computer. You should add your user account to the following groups and then restart your computer.

sudo usermod -a -G dialout,input $USER

Then you should clone the repository, change directory into it and run make.

git clone git@github.com:lindbergh-loader/lindbergh-loader.git 
cd lindbergh-loader 
make

You should then copy the contents of the build directory to your game directory and run ./lindbergh for the game, or ./lindbergh -t for test mode. Please note you might need to set the game executable as "executable" using chmod +x.

cp -a build/* /home/games/the-house-of-the-dead-4/disk0/elf/.
cd /home/games/the-house-of-the-dead-4/disk0/elf/.
./lindbergh

If you'd like to change game settings copy the default configuration file from the repository to your game directory.

cp build/docs/lindbergh.conf /home/games/the-house-of-the-dead-4/disk0/elf/. 
nano lindbergh.conf

Please take a look at the configuration options, supported games and known issues in the guide.
