====== Zero Ranger ======

Zero Ranger is a shmup from 2018 that I recently found and have been having fun with.
It runs on stock wine out of the box and is playable, however there are some tweaks that improve the quality of the experience.
However NVIDIA machines will have difficulty with dxvk/proton setups from frame drops to more usage.
