Keys are mapped according to these defaults. Xbox-style controllers also have a default mapping applied.
Gopher64 supports netplay (online play with others) via cloud hosted servers. You can also run the server (https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64-netplay-server) yourself on a LAN.
If you would like to keep all the game data in the same folder as the executable, you just need to create a file called "portable.txt" in the same directory as the executable.
If you want to run the flatpak from the command line, you need to add the --filesystem=host:ro option, for example:
flatpak run --filesystem=host:ro io.github.gopher64.gopher64 /path/to/rom.z64
- Linux only: install the SDL3 dependencies: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL3/README-linux#build-dependencies

git clone --recursive https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64.gitcd gopher64cargo build --release./target/release/gopher64 /path/to/rom.z64
