## Building

TaikoArcadeLoader can be a bit tricky to build if you've never done it before.  
Go to the TaikoArcadeLoader folder and run the following commands:

```bash
apt install -y npm mingw-w64 ninja-build nasm pip 7zip cmake
pip3 install meson

npm install n -g && n latest && npm install --global xpm@latest
npx xpm init && npx xpm install @xpack-dev-tools/mingw-w64-gcc@latest

# make sure to edit "path_to_tal" with the actual TaikoArcadeLoader folder path
export PATH=/path_to_tal/xpacks/.bin:$PATH
make setup
```

Once that's done, run `make` to build TAL.  
The output will be written in the `out` folder.
