    ⬇️ Download Longshot Launcher

    🪟  Download for Windows

    🐧  Download for Linux (AppImage)

    Windows without installing: portable zip

    Run it, point it at your own dump of the game (a .nup, or its romfs and exefs folders), and press Build. It installs Longshot and keeps it and itself up to date. This is a release candidate: it builds Longshot's rc versions by default.

    ➕ Why Longshot is better

    • Proper organization and faster release
    • Better performance and fewer stutters (lots of performance improvements)
    • Launcher for importing saves, managing versions, and much faster builds

    What's new since rc.2

    • Saves, redesigned. Saves are shown by slot, and copying between versions, importing and exporting are transfers you can follow. Manage saves is a card under your default version, and each version has a labelled Saves button. Import from and export to NX2navi work again.
    • Check for updates, under your versions: looks for a new Longshot on your channels and a new launcher, and tells you when everything is up to date.
    • Builds you can follow. The system requirements are checked before the tools download; a build estimate for your PC, and a time left that learns its pace; the build log has a level picker and a search, and follows new lines.
    • AMD FSR 4 on Linux, and for Radeon RX 6000 and newer (not only RX 9000).
    • Windows: less likely to be flagged by antivirus programs (the program isn't compressed inside, and its file details say what it is).
    • Linux: accurate free space and drive names.
    • The launcher and its shortcuts say "Longshot".

    v1.0.0-rc.3 (2026-11-13)

    Features

    • Redesign save management around slots and transfers (#26)
    • linux: AMD FSR 4 on Linux: the build compiles the Vulkan back end with it, for the player's own FSR 4 library (#24)
    • Check system requirements above the tools download (#25)
    • build: This PC's build estimate, and a time left that learns its pace (#28)
    • build: The build log shows info and above, with a level picker and a search, and follows new lines at the bottom (#30)
    • home: Saves is a button you can see: a Manage saves card under the default version, and a labelled Saves button on each version (#31)
    • home: Check for updates, under your versions: Longshot's channels and the launcher's own, and it says when everything is up to date (#38)

    Fixes

    • Accurate disk space and drive name on Linux, through links (#29)
    • windows: Look less like malware to antivirus programs: the program is not compressed inside, and its file details say what it is (#32)
    • saves: Import from and export to NX2navi work again: only a finished commit in save-tx is a save waiting, and a copy that worked says so on the Saves page (#33)
    • ui: The launcher and its shortcuts say Longshot, not the game's title (#36)
    • release: CI starts the Windows launcher under Wine from a build that unpacks itself, so the uncompressed launcher builds again (#37)
    • settings: AMD FSR 4 is for Radeon RX 6000 and newer, not only RX 9000 (#39)

    Documentation

    • readme: Link the website, longshot.magicbean.dev (#35)
