BalatroDC - How to build your disc

YOU NEED

	A PC copy of Balatro (1.0.0 or 1.0.1). In Steam: right-click Balatro, Manage, Browse local files, and take Balatro.exe. On a Mac: Balatro.app/Contents/Resources/Balatro.love.
	Python 3.9 or newer (python.org) and ffmpeg (ffmpeg.org).
	No compiler, no SDK: the kit writes the disc image itself.

BUILD THE DISC

1.	Unzip the build kit anywhere.
2.	Windows: double-click "Build BalatroDC (Windows).bat". macOS or Linux: run ./build.sh.
3.	It looks for Balatro.exe next to it, then in Steam. If it can't find it, it asks: drag the file into the window and press Enter.
4.	About a minute later: out/balatro.cdi. Burn it to a CD-R, or copy it to your GDEMU, MODE or USB-GDROM.

FIRST BOOT
The game asks for your language and, if a VMU is plugged in, whether to save on it. Both can be changed later in Options.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG

"is missing files BalatroDC needs": the file isn't a full install of the game (demos and mod files lack resources).

"ffmpeg not found": install ffmpeg and open a new terminal.

"lacks text the engine needs": your Balatro version is too old or too new for this kit.

Anything else: write to contact@espouaisso.com with the Balatro version the script printed.
