Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (Wii) - native Windows and Linux build (static recompilation)  @VERSION@
https://github.com/darkuni/resident-evil-darkside-chronicles-recomp

No game data is included. You need your own Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles disc image (Wii, NTSC-U, SBDE08)
as .iso, .ciso or .wbfs.

Setup
  Put your disc image (.iso, .ciso or .wbfs) in this folder and run darksidechronicles.exe (Windows) or
  darksidechronicles (Linux / Steam Deck: ./darksidechronicles, or add it to Steam as a non-Steam game). On the
  first start it builds the "game" folder from it (a minute or two); after that the disc image isn't
  needed any more.

Requirements: 64-bit Windows 10/11, or 64-bit Linux with SDL2 (SteamOS has it; elsewhere install
libsdl2 / sdl2 from your package manager); a GPU with OpenGL 3.3.

Controls (Wii Remote + Nunchuk / Wii Zapper)
  The game sees a Wii Remote with a Nunchuk attached (the Zapper control types need it). Shoot
  with B; A picks things up, uses items and dodges ("Move"); hold A and press B to throw a
  grenade; hold A and shake the remote to swing the knife; shake the remote to reload and to
  counterattack; the d-pad switches weapons; the Nunchuk stick moves the camera. The options let
  you swap A and B (control types A/B).

  "Mouse buttons" in the settings menu (or controls = mouse / mouse_swap in
  darksidechronicles.ini) swaps the left and right mouse buttons. "Capture mouse"
  (capture_mouse = 1) keeps the cursor inside the window while you play.

Frame rate
  The original runs gameplay at 30 fps. "Frame rate" in the F1 menu (fps60 = 1 in
  darksidechronicles.ini) runs it at 60 fps.

Wii Remote motions (hold Ctrl and move the mouse: left/right twists, up/down tilts, fast moves
are swings; Q/E and R/F on the keyboard)

Real Wii Remote (optional)
  Pair it with Windows: Settings > Bluetooth > Add device, press the red SYNC button under the
  battery cover, pick "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" (skip/leave the PIN empty). A Mayflash DolphinBar
  in mode 4 works too. Linux: pair it in the Bluetooth settings; reading it needs access to its
  /dev/hidraw device (a udev rule, e.g. KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", MODE="0666").
  Its buttons, motion and (with a sensor bar) pointer are used, and a Nunchuk plugged into it
  (stick, C/Z, motion). wiimote = 0 in darksidechronicles.ini
  turns it off.

Keys
  F1 / Esc (or Start+Back on a gamepad)  settings menu (resolution, widescreen, vsync, MSAA,
                                         texture filtering, mouse buttons, game speed)
  F11 / Alt+Enter                        fullscreen
  Hold Tab (or click the right stick)    fast-forward

Files
  darksidechronicles.ini        settings (created on first run)
  darksidechronicles.log        log of the last run - include it with bug reports
  darksidechronicles_hang.txt   written if no frame is shown for 8 seconds - include it too
  nand\                   saves
