| 20 | [[DinoLauncher>>https://github.com/sabre230/DinoLauncher]] is a rudimentary tool first released by [[sabre230>>https://github.com/sabre230]] in October 2022 that updates a local copy of the Dinosaur Planet ROM with the most recent patches and updates. The intent is to remove the need for manual patching of binaries, xdelta files, etc. and allow the game to be accessible to a wider demographic. The application is currently only available on Windows, but a Linux release is reportedly planned. | ||

| 25 | * Please note these instructions can also be found in the [[DinoLauncher Wiki>>https://github.com/sabre230/DinoLauncher/wiki/About-and-How-To#how-to-use]]. | ||
| 26 | * Start by selecting an update branch. | ||
| 27 | ** **Stable **is slower to update but typically easier to deal with | ||
| 28 | ** **Nightly** is more frequent but can suffer from unforeseen hiccups. | ||
| 29 | * **Browse** for your Dinosaur Planet ROM file. It will typically be named "rom_crack.z64" from most sources. | ||
| 30 | * Click **Check for Updates** to check the DinoLauncher repository for any new patches. | ||
| 31 | * Once updates are done downloading, click **Apply Patch**. | ||
| 32 | ** Optionally, you may check the box to use **HQ player models** at the cost of performance. | ||
| 33 | * Once the patch is complete (it's usually quite fast) the game directory will open and you'll be given the option to **LAUNCH** the game. | ||
| 34 | * Have fun and enjoy this formerly lost piece of video game history! |
