Overview

Please be mindful when editing! The person generating the game needs a copy of each APWorld that is to be used for the game. If the APWorld requires a specific ROM to generate, they need that ROM too. Headers are locked to prevent auto-sorts from being done The APWorlds should be placed in the host's Archipelago install in the custom_worlds folder. Then, the host can generate the game by following the instructions here: https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en#generating-a-game

If something is missing, add it! Alternate place to get info on apworlds: https://multiworld.news/apworlds.html Do not sort Please only download apworlds from trusted sources. You need to run as an admin to generate a game, which is a potential security vulnerability if you managed to find a malicious apworld. Game [1] Status [2] Where can you get the APWorld? Notes

APWorld Preparation and ROMs

The document states that for each APWorld to be used, a copy must be provided. If the APWorld requires a specific ROM to generate, that ROM is required as well. (This section preserves the instruction text verbatim while framing it as an instruction for preparation.)

Placement in Archipelago Custom Worlds

The APWorlds should be placed in the host's Archipelago install in the custom_worlds folder. This ensures the host can generate the game via the official tutorial.

Generating a Game

The host can generate the game by following the instructions here: https://archipelago.gg/tutorial/Archipelago/setup/en#generating-a-game

[1] In Review games are in the order they were PR'd on the github, except major updates to supported

games get put at the top. Basically, the higher up it is, the more likely it'll be in the next version of

Archipelago.

[2] - APWorld Only: Will only be released as an APWorld.

Merged: Will be in the next version of Archipelago.
In Review: Attempting to get merged into Archipelago main.
Beta: Should be completely playable without major issues/workarounds. Host probably shouldn't

encounter much in the way of issues.

Alpha: Playable, workarounds may be required, or other issues. Host should be prepared to encounter

issues.

In Review games are sorted by PR date, except for major updates to supported games which get put at the

top.

The rest are sorted alphabetically, with games in the same series put next to each other in series order.

Note that it is difficult to keep up with when a game should be moved from Alpha to Beta. Please feel free to

change the tag from Alpha to Beta if you feel it meets the above description for Beta.
