Known Issues

Menu buttons can sometimes be unresponsive on an initial click, but will respond to repeated clicking. 

If clicking is not functioning correctly for you, all menus are fully workable using arrow keys and space bar or d-pad and A/X.

The framerate may drop on older machines. If playing on a laptop, I highly recommend ensuring your device is connected to power to ensure maximum processing power.


To run on OSX

I don't have a Mac to test this on, please let me know if this doesn't work!

  1. In the Finder  on your Mac, locate the app you want to open.

    Don’t use Launchpad to do this. Launchpad doesn’t allow you to access the shortcut menu.

  2. Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.
  3. Click Open.

    The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can any registered app.
