Co-op

You can play Zelda 1 Randomizer in cooperative (a.k.a. co-op or coop) mode. This requires the use of the FCEUX emulator and the LUA co-op script.
== Prerequisites ==
* Emulator: FCEUX
* Lua script version 1.2 - updated version available for download here: zip
* Preferred game ROM (B.Y.O.; don’t ask for links)
* Internet connection
== Setup Guide ==
# Install FCEUX
# Download and unzip the emu-coop script
# Within FCEUX, load the Z1R ROM file
# Select File > Lua > New Lua Script Window…
# In the Lua Script window, select Browse... and navigate to the unzipped emu-coop folder, then select coop.lua and click Open
# Click Run
# In the FCEUX main window, select File > Open ROM... and locate the ROM you wish to use, then click Open
#* Note: if you get a warning/notice pop-up here after selecting a randomizer ROM, return to the Lua Script window and click Restart
# When selecting the ROM, you should receive a pop-up dialog with a dropdown list.  Select The Legend of Zelda (sync most things), then click OK
# In the Connection settings dialog, enter the following information, then click OK:
#* Change the IRC server value to irc2.speedrunslive.com
#* Leave port as default (6667)
#* Your nickname (must be different from your IRC nickname)
#* Your partner's nickname (must be different from their IRC nickname)
# After a brief search, you should see Connected to partner in the bottom-left corner
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==
==== What do I do if my game is stuck on Searching for partner? ====
Follow these troubleshooting steps:
# Verify that both you and your partner have typed in your nicknames exactly the same (they are case sensitive)
# Verify that you both have the same server settings
# Stop and restart the emu-coop script from within the Lua Script window
# Restart FCEUX and start from step 3
# If the steps above are unsuccessful in resolving the issue, join the Z1R Discord and ask in the #tech-setup channel
==== My friends aren’t cool enough to join me.  Where can I find someone who will play co-op? ====
