## Requirements & limits

- On first start the program asks for the player's USA disc image and checks that it is Zone of the Enders.
- The README says the game is playable from the intro through the final area, including the hidden Versus mode. A controller is the tested input. The options menu still uses the keyboard.
- The README names no license for this port.
