How is this legal?
In a world where Meta got caught torrenting entire book archives, anything goes these days.
But strictly speaking, it’s not because it’s based on decompilation and not a clean room reimplementation of the engine. That’s like using a translation service to translate a copyrighted book into another language and then manually iron out the kinks. But in a world of mass piracy for LLM training, nobody gives a shit about such little projects any longer.

Never played these games, looking forward to giving them a go.

Can confirm. I’ve played the first one on Steam Deck and it plays great. The new launcher is super easy to use as well.

Playing through the third one right now, the first 2 ran great already, and the launcher really is convenient, before it was all manual commands in the terminal.
One advice I would give is to delete the rom file and the iso_data/{gamename} folders after the games are fully installed to save space, since it’s several gigabytes per game that are not used after the installation
