## AppImage runtime and appimagetool (MIT)

The AppImage is produced with the AppImage type-2 runtime and appimagetool
(AppImage project, MIT). Those are build/packaging tools; their source and
licenses are at <https://github.com/AppImage>.

## Microsoft Visual C++ runtime (redistributable)

The Windows package includes `vcruntime140.dll` and `vcruntime140_1.dll`
from the Visual Studio 2026 x64 redistributable so the executable starts on
a clean Windows 10/11 machine. They are Microsoft redistributable runtime
components, not part of this project, and remain subject to the Visual
Studio license terms. The Universal CRT (`api-ms-win-crt-*.dll`) is part of
Windows 10/11.

## Game data

No SNK ROM data, BIOS images, recompiled C, entry-point lists or other
ROM-derived artifacts are distributed with the project source. Executables
built from a dump contain translated game code and are for the dump owner's
use. Game screenshots/captures contain SNK's copyrighted imagery and are not
distributed either; local captures under `shots/` are ignored.

The King of Fighters and Neo Geo are trademarks of SNK Corporation. This
project is not affiliated with or endorsed by SNK.
