On first run it uses the Torch tool to turn the user's US ROM into an asset archive, and it ships for Windows, Linux, macOS and Switch. The README of the separate Starfox 64: Recompiled static recompilation calls this port its sibling, built with different technology.",

    "Starship's README presents a PC port with release and playtest builds. DOCS/fox_lore.md in the sibling Starfox64Recomp repository describes it as a native port of the sf64 decompilation's C code on libultraship (which reimplements most of libultra and uses a Fast3D renderer) and says native porting exposed asset-linking errors and undefined behaviour that matching code alone did not reveal. CMakeLists.txt compiles src/engine, src/overlays, src/sys and src/audio with a port layer in src/port. The latest release is v2.0.0 (2025-05-25), and README warns that CI playtest builds will likely show bugs and possibly crashes.",
    "Supply a US 1.0 or US 1.1 Rev A ROM in .z64 form; README lists the SHA-1 of each. The first run, or the ExtractAssets build target, turns it into sf64.o2r through Torch, using the definitions in config.yml and assets/yaml. JP and EU ROMs serve only as voice-language replacements alongside a US ROM, and the Switch build needs the archive generated on PC. The repository holds extraction definitions, not game assets.",
    "Releases target Windows, Linux (AppImage), macOS and Nintendo Switch, with DirectX 11, OpenGL and Metal back ends. Building needs CMake, Python 3 and Git with Visual Studio 2022 (v143 tools; at least 8 GB of RAM) on Windows, or gcc or clang with Ninja and libraries including SDL2, libzip, spdlog, tinyxml2, Boost and Ogg/Vorbis on Linux. Submodules are libultraship, Torch and asm-differ; CI generates only the port's own starship.o2r and packages builds without a ROM.",
    "Neither README nor BUILDING.md documents automated gameplay tests or comparisons with the original game.",
    "LICENSE.md is CC0 1.0 Universal; the ROM, extracted assets and the game remain their owners' property, and the submodules keep their own terms. README says the project does not condone piracy."

    "Starship 的 README 将其介绍为 PC 移植，并提供正式发布与测试构建。姊妹项目 Starfox64Recomp 仓库中的 DOCS/fox_lore.md 将其描述为基于 sf64 反编译 C 代码、运行在 libultraship（重新实现大部分 libultra 并使用 Fast3D 渲染器）上的原生移植，并称原生移植暴露了仅靠一致性代码无法发现的素材链接错误和未定义行为。CMakeLists.txt 编译 src/engine、src/overlays、src/sys 和 src/audio，移植层位于 src/port。最新发布为 v2.0.0（2025-05-25），README 提醒 CI 测试构建很可能出现缺陷，甚至可能崩溃。",
    "需自备 .z64 格式的美版 1.0 或美版 1.1 Rev A ROM；README 列出了各自的 SHA-1。首次运行或 ExtractAssets 构建目标会借助 Torch，按照 config.yml 和 assets/yaml 中的定义把它转换为 sf64.o2r。日版和欧版 ROM 只能与美版 ROM 搭配用于替换语音语言，Switch 版需使用在 PC 上生成的资源包。仓库只含提取定义，不含游戏素材。",
    "发行版面向 Windows、Linux（AppImage）、macOS 和 Nintendo Switch，提供 DirectX 11、OpenGL 与 Metal 后端。构建需要 CMake、Python 3 和 Git：Windows 上另需 Visual Studio 2022（v143 工具集，至少 8 GB 内存），Linux 上需 gcc 或 clang、Ninja 以及 SDL2、libzip、spdlog、tinyxml2、Boost、Ogg／Vorbis 等库。子模块为 libultraship、Torch 和 asm-differ；CI 只生成移植自身的 starship.o2r，打包构建时不使用 ROM。",
    "README 与 BUILDING.md 均未记录自动化游戏测试或与原版的对照。",
    "LICENSE.md 为 CC0 1.0 Universal；ROM、提取出的素材及游戏本身仍归其所有者，子模块保留各自条款。README 表示项目不纵容盗版。"
