Known limitations

The game logic retains its original roughly 12 FPS stepping. The --interp option draws intermediate field pictures one frame behind; it does not establish gameplay logic running at 60 FPS.

Getting started

Work targets the European MK-81380 v1.000 disc as a Redump CUE/BIN set. The repository distributes documentation/tools only; building needs Python 3.8+, CMake, Ninja, clang and SDL3.
