RetroRecomp v1.6.1 — Super Street Fighter II converts again, one shared base, the previous release only

  • Super Street Fighter II (Mega Drive) converts again. Its conversion was
    refused for many releases: a few sound writes came 18 cycles late from frame
    1,927 of the demo. The deferred sound CPU answered a bus request one step too
    late when the request ended a grouped catch-up; it now answers at once, still
    deferred, so no speed is lost. The game passes the native/reference comparison
    over 3,600 frames with 0 interpreted 68000 and Z80 opcodes; Sonic the
    Hedgehog and Gunstar Heroes give exactly the same final checks as before, and
    a ROM-free sweep of 32,768 cases guards the fix.
  • One shared base. The base of paths travels in one line, CPU-keyed
    (format 3). Converters from 1.6.0 keep receiving it; a player far behind
    catches up from the newest complete base without reinstalling.
  • The previous release only. Exports, F8/F9 quick states and bases of
    1.6.0 carry into 1.6.1: exports are rebuilt from their learned paths and
    rechecked, Mega Drive, Neo Geo and CPS-1 states load (Windows), and the
    Super Nintendo state key did not change. Support for releases before 1.6.0
    is removed: their exports are converted in full, their states are refused,
    and converters before 1.6.0 are asked to update instead of receiving the
    base or sending discoveries.
  • Linux: an unpacked game is said in the window. When UPX cannot compress
    a large Linux game (upx/upx issue 18937), the conversion log now says so, and
    the Neo Geo validation file names the unpacked file that was validated.

Windows security warning. RetroRecomp is not signed with a paid
code-signing certificate yet. On first launch Windows may show "Windows
protected your PC": it means unknown publisher, not virus found; choose
More info → Run anyway. The source is public and SHA256SUMS.txt lists
every file of the release. Converted games are built on your PC and cannot be
signed: with Smart App Control on (Windows 11), Windows may block them. An
antivirus alert on RetroRecomp files is a false positive: please report it.
