TLKRecomp

Screenshot of TLKRecomp

Disney's The Lion King (SNES, 1994) as a native PC program: a static recompilation of the US release, built with snesrecomp. The game's 65816 program runs as compiled C; graphics, sound and timing run on an emulated PPU and SPC, so it plays like the cartridge.

No game data is included. On first start it asks for your own dump of The Lion King (USA) ROM (.sfc or .smc) and remembers where it is.

  • The whole game, start to finish, on keyboard or gamepad
  • Settings menu in the game (Tab or Esc), saved as you change it
  • CRT, LCD grid, Sharpen and Composite shaders; 8:7, 4:3 or 1:1 aspect; fullscreen
  • Experimental widescreen: 16:9, 21:9 or the window's shape
  • Practice mode for speedrunners, level select, save states and a turbo key
  • Remappable keys and gamepad buttons

For noncommercial use only: snesrecomp, compiled into the program, is under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. The Lion King is (c) Disney / Virgin Interactive.

Compatibility: Uses the C library of the system (may need glibc 2.34 or later)

Usage

TLKRecomp is available as an AppImage which means "one app = one file", which you can download and run on your Linux system while you don't need a package manager and nothing gets changed in your system. Awesome!

AppImages are single-file applications that run on most Linux distributions. Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered. Most AppImages run on recent versions of Arch Linux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat, Ubuntu, and other common desktop distributions.

This AppImage uses the C library of the system and may need glibc 2.34 or later. It does not run on distributions that use a different C library (such as musl on Alpine Linux) or an older glibc.

Running TLKRecomp on Linux without installation

Unlike other applications, AppImages do not need to be installed before they can be used. However, they need to be marked as executable before they can be run. This is a Linux security feature.

Beware! AppImages are usually not verified by others. Follow these instructions only if you trust the developer of the software. Use at your own risk!

Download the TLKRecomp AppImage and make it executable using your file manager or by entering the following commands in a terminal:

chmod +x ./*.AppImage

Then double-click the AppImage in the file manager to open it.

Sandboxing TLKRecomp

If you want to restrict what TLKRecomp can do on your system, you can run the AppImage in a sandbox like Firejail. This is entirely optional and currently needs to be configured by the user.

Updating TLKRecomp

If you would like to update to a new version, simply download the new TLKRecomp AppImage.

The TLKRecomp AppImage also can be updated using AppImageUpdate. Using this tool, TLKRecomp can be updated by downloading only the portions of the AppImage that have actually changed since the last version.

Integrating AppImages into the system

If you would like to have the executable bit set automatically, and would like to see TLKRecomp and other AppImages integrated into the system (menus, icons, file type associations, etc.), then you may want to check the optional appimaged daemon.

Note for application authors

Thanks for distributing TLKRecomp in the AppImage format for all common Linux distributions. Great! Here are some ideas on how to make it even better.

Pro Tips for further enhancing the TLKRecomp AppImage

Please consider making the TLKRecomp AppImage self-contained, so that it does not depend on the C library of the system and runs on more distributions: ship the C library including its loader (ld-linux-*.so.*) and use it to launch the application, or link statically.

Thanks for shipping AppStream metainfo inside your AppImage. Please open a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/TLKRecomp if you have changed it and would like to see this page updated accordingly.

If you would like to see a donation link for the application here, please include one in the AppStream data.
