    ROM CHECK FAIL 1.1 — native Linux port (full package)

    logic on pygame-ce, without Wine, at the original 256×224 resolution (3×
    window by default).

    Quick start with the full package:

    tar xzf romcheckfail-1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd romcheckfail-1.1-linux-x86_64
./install.sh

    pygame-ce and numpy dependencies. Controls: arrow keys, Space, Esc to quit;
    F11 or Alt+Enter toggles fullscreen.

    IMPORTANT: the original game is not technically open source

    This release deliberately includes the original freeware assets under
    res/ and OGG renditions of the original MIDI soundtrack. They are not open
    source     and are not MIT-licensed.

    In 2011 Farbs released only the Python script game.py under the MIT license.
    The artwork, sound effects, music, level data, title, original binaries and the
    original C++ engine were not released under an open-source license. The
    original game as a whole remains proprietary freeware.

    • Port code and game.py: MIT; see LICENSE.
    • Original assets in res/: Copyright (C) Farbs, freeware only; see
      NOTICE.md.
    • Original Pycap / SexyAppFramework engine: not included. Pycap.py and
      PycapRes.py are an independent pygame-ce reimplementation.
    • Music: rendered with FluidSynth and the GPL-2 TimGM6mb soundfont; the
      soundfont is not included. See LICENSES/.

    No ownership of Farbs' work is claimed, and no license to the original assets
    is granted by this release.

    Rights-holder request and takedown

    If Farbs or any other rights holder asks for removal, I will immediately
    take this release and the affected files offline.     That includes the
    full-package archives containing res/ and music/, and any affected
    repository content.

    I can be contacted through the Forgejo account topy at
    https://git.t44.org/topy.

    This full package is provided for personal preservation and compatibility,
    not for sale. If a rights holder objects, the source-only package and the MIT
    port code can remain without the affected files.

    Verification

    See SHA256SUMS. The release tag is v1.1-linux1.
