- tools_pc/bundle-linux.sh: package a Linux build (exe + README + licenses + prepare-assets) as a .tar.gz. Mirrors bundle-win.sh's ROM / size guards and prepare-assets assembly. No shared libs bundled — the generated README tells the user to install SDL2 / zlib / libGL from their distro. - tools_pc/dist/README.md.in: made OS-neutral via @PLATFORM@ / @EXE@ / @DEPS@ / @LICENSE_EXTRA@ tokens; refreshed the known-issues list (dropped the stale "ladders don't work" line — D177 fixed M-36; added black sky + missing HUD weapon icon). - .github/workflows/ci.yml: linux-build now packages + uploads the Linux bundle; the release job attaches both platforms to the draft pre-release. - .github/release-notes.md: rewritten for the two-platform NTSC-U alpha with the prepare-assets step and current known issues. Alpha scope: NTSC-U only, one-time prepare-assets step (Part A launcher and Part B native converter from release-dropin-rom-plan.md remain follow-ups).

## GoldenEye 007 PC Port — alpha
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ **Very early research alpha. Not a playable game.**
|
|
> The intro and menus render and all 21 solo missions load, but:
|
|
> - **no audio** (Phase 3, not started);
|
|
> - some front-end 3D models and some text are broken (the spinning Nintendo
|
|
> logo, MISSION COMPLETE / mode-select models, some briefing objective text);
|
|
> - outdoor levels render with a **black sky**;
|
|
> - the in-HUD **weapon icon is missing** (the ammo count still shows);
|
|
> - expect crashes and glitches once past the level intro.
|
|
>
|
|
> This is a technical demo of the porting work. If you want to *play* GoldenEye
|
|
> on PC, use one of the Xbox 360 recompilation projects instead — see the
|
|
> [project README](https://github.com/jkdansereau/goldeneye-pc-port#how-this-differs-from-the-other-goldeneye-pc-projects).

### Downloads
|
|
|
|
| File | Platform |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `goldeneye-pc-port-<version>-win64.zip` | Windows x86-64 |
|
|
| `goldeneye-pc-port-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` | Linux x86-64 |
|
|
|
|
Each contains the engine executable, a README, license texts, and the
|
|
`prepare-assets` tool. **No ROM, no game assets.** The Windows bundle also
|
|
carries its runtime DLLs; the Linux bundle links against your distro's SDL2 /
|
|
zlib / libGL (`sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0 zlib1g libgl1`, or the equivalent).
|
|
|
|
Windows development and playtesting is the primary path; the Linux build boots
|
|
and renders (tested on WSLg) but has had far less exercise.
|
|
|
|
### Running it
|
|
|
|
You supply your own **NTSC-U GoldenEye 007 N64 ROM** (`.z64`, big-endian,
|
|
`SHA-1 abe01e4aeb033b6c0836819f549c791b26cfde83`). Only the US ROM is supported
|
|
in this alpha.
|
|
|
|
1. Unpack the archive.
|
|
2. Make a `data/` folder next to the executable and put the ROM in it as
|
|
`ge007.ntsc-final.z64`.
|
|
3. Run the one-time asset step (needs Python 3.8+):
|
|
`python3 prepare-assets/prepare-assets.py`
|
|
— it reads your ROM and writes the two `data/pc*-ntsc-final/` folders the
|
|
engine needs. Standard library only; a few seconds.
|
|
4. Run the executable **from that folder**.
|
|
|
|
Full steps are in the bundled `README.md`.
