RetroRecomp v1.2.5 — every setting in F2, on every console

  • F2 gathers every setting. On all seven consoles, F2 opens pages turned
    with Left/Right (or Tab, LB/RB, the D-pad), with small squares at the top
    right showing how many pages there are and which one is open: each player's
    keyboard and gamepad controls, the gun page of recognised Light Phaser,
    Zapper, Menacer and Super Scope games, then Options. The options page
    lists the function-key settings with their current value (filter, display,
    sprite reduction, palette or enhanced Neo Geo, autofire, language, MVS/AES,
    fallback recording; Enter runs the same shortcut) and the audio filter. The
    quit and restart combinations close player 1's keyboard and gamepad pages.
  • Freed keys. F10, G and the Mega Drive / SNES gun F5 no longer open
    anything; the controller Guide button opens F2 on its options page. The
    Master System pauses with Enter, its default Start/Menu key, and P is free.
    On Mega Drive, SNES, NES and Neo Geo, P no longer pauses: Enter, the
    cartridge Start, pauses the game itself, and P can be bound to a game action.
  • Smaller menu text. Menus use 5 x 10 cells: help lists one function key
    per line, and every control of a page is shown at once, without scrolling.
  • Computer function keys. On the Sharp X68000, an option on the last F2
    page hands F1–F10 to the computer; Ctrl+F1 to Ctrl+F12 then reach
    Retro-Recomp (Ctrl+F2 opens F2, Ctrl+F8/F9 save and load). It is off by
    default.
  • Sharp X68000 disk changes. Every set of two or more disks now changes
    disks automatically when a game ejects one and asks for another, instead of
    rules written for three titles.

Existing games keep their menus until they are regenerated; settings, quick
states, libraries and cartridge saves are unaffected. Saved bindings and
options are kept, including a Master System pause key explicitly saved as P;
only the default changes. The menus were checked with synthetic SDL events, virtual
controllers and captured screens; they do not measure physical input latency
or certify hardware fidelity. Linux remains qualified on Debian 13 / glibc
2.41; other baselines need testing.
