TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
Q: macOS says "ZALIAS Keygen cannot be opened because Apple cannot
check it for malicious software."
A: Right-click the .app -> Open -> Open Anyway.
Or: System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Anyway.
Or from terminal:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine keygen_macos.app

Q: Windows Defender flagged the keygen.
A: See the WINDOWS install steps above — add an exclusion or briefly
disable real-time protection.

Q: The keygen music is annoying.
A: Uncheck the MUSIC box in the keygen UI. Volume respects your
system mixer.

Q: My generated key was rejected.
A: Make sure you installed gSwoop v2.23 exactly - not a newer or
older version. The algorithm version is checked.

MUSIC
-----
"Mental deliverance" - classic FastTracker II XM module.
