## What it is
Starship is a PC port of Star Fox 64 (SF64) built from a reverse-engineered codebase, requiring users to supply their own legally dumped ROM. It runs natively on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Nintendo Switch with multiple graphics backends.

## Use cases
- play star fox 64 on pc
- port n64 game to pc
- run sf64 with widescreen and mods
- play star fox 64 on mac or linux
- play star fox 64 on nintendo switch
- replace voice language in star fox 64

## When to choose
- you own a legal US 1.0 or 1.1 ROM dump of Star Fox 64 and want enhanced PC play
- you want native performance, higher resolutions, or Metal/DirectX/OpenGL backends
- you want to play on Switch or Steam Deck with portable controls

## When to avoid
- you do not own a supported ROM dump - the port ships no game assets
- you want to emulate other N64 titles - this is SF64-specific
- you need EU or JP base ROM support for asset generation
