If you're having any trouble after reading through this `README`, feel free ask for help in the Starship Support text channels. Please keep in mind that we do not condone piracy.
The supported ROM is the USA 1.1 Rev A version. You can verify you have dumped a supported copy of the game by using the SHA-1 File Checksum Online at https://www.romhacking.net/hash/. The hash for a US 1.1 ROM is SHA-1: 09F0D105F476B00EFA5303A3EBC42E60A7753B7A.
Currently, there are three rendering APIs supported: DirectX11 (Windows), OpenGL (all platforms), and Metal (macOS). You can change which API to use in the `Settings` menu of the menubar, which requires a restart. If you're having an issue with crashing, you can change the API in the `starship.cfg.json` file by finding the line `"Backend":{`... and changing the `id` value to `3` and set the `Name` to `OpenGL`. `DirectX 11` with id `2` is the default on Windows. `Metal` with id `4` is the default on macOS.
