Compile the widescreen version of Cave Story from the source code

Install the necessary packages:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install build-essential libpng-dev libjpeg-dev make cmake cmake-data git libsdl2-dev libsdl2-doc libsdl2-gfx-dev libsdl2-gfx-doc libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev cmake -y -qq

Compile the engine (it takes about 1 hour):

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/nxengine/nxengine-evo

Modified to the widescreen version:

vim ~/nxengine-evo/src/graphics/Renderer.cpp

Edit the 225 line and save and exit the following line

{(char *)"1280x480", 1280, 480, 640, 240, 2, true, true},

cd nxengine-evo
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
cd ~/nxengine-evo
wget https://www.cavestory.org/downloads/cavestoryen.zip
unzip cavestoryen.zip
cp -r CaveStory/data/* data/
cp CaveStory/Doukutsu.exe .
./build/nxextract
cd build
sudo make install

Confirm that the original version can run normally:

./nxengine-evo

Run the modified version:

./nxengine-evo

After running, press the Esc key, enter Options->Graphics, select the resolution as 1280x480, and open the full screen.

Reinstall after confirming that there is no problem:

cd ~/nxengine-evo/build
sudo make install

You can use the command **nxengine-evo **to run the game in any directory
