Starship is a fan-made, reverse-engineered PC port of *Star Fox 64* (called *Lylat Wars* in PAL regions), developed by Harbour Masters with lead devs including SonicDcer and Lywx. It doesn’t distribute any of Nintendo’s proprietary code; instead, it requires users to supply their own legally dumped ROM in the supported US .z64 format, which is then used to extract the game’s assets via the port’s tools. Once installed, Starship runs natively on PC (and is being expanded to support Linux and macOS), and adds enhancements like widescreen / ultrawide resolution support, unlocked frame rates, improved controller/rumble compatibility, newer rendering backends (DirectX11, OpenGL, Metal), and mod support for custom textures and assets. The project also receives periodic updates fixing bugs (graphics, sound, collisions), adding cheat options, and expanding platform compatibility.
