controls

Keys are mapped according to these defaults. Xbox-style controllers also have a default mapping applied.

netplay

Gopher64 supports netplay (online play with others) via cloud hosted servers. You can also run the server yourself on a LAN.

portable mode

If you would like to keep all the game data in the same folder as the executable, you just need to create a file called "portable.txt" in the same directory as the executable.

flatpak

If you want to run the flatpak from the command line, you need to add the --filesystem=host:ro option, for example:

flatpak run --filesystem=host:ro io.github.gopher64.gopher64 /path/to/rom.z64

building and usage

  1. Linux only: install the SDL3 dependencies
  2. Install rust

  4. cd gopher64
