Warning

Early release. Worlds 1 and 2 (with its boss) have been played from start to finish without bugs; later worlds
have not been tested yet. Keep a backup of your saves: %LOCALAPPDATA%\40WinksRecompiled\saves.

🆕 What's new since v0.2.0

  • Game-styled launcher: the menu entries are written with the game's big orange menu letters, with the game's
    animations (letters swinging, wave on the selected entry, other entries dimmed) and its sparkle cursor.
  • Game-styled settings: your launcher background behind the window; tabs, option names and choices in the game's
    letters (selected choice in yellow, like the game's menu titles); sliders made of the game's own slider pieces.
  • These letters are read from your ROM at startup: the release still contains no game data. Without a ROM the
    launcher keeps its plain text.
  • First launch: a window asks for your ROM, checks it, and tells you which dump is needed if it is the wrong one.
  • New graphics options: MSAA, downsampling, high precision framebuffer, texture filtering, output filter and 2D
    upscale.
  • New icons: a candle, square by default; a round one can be picked in a shortcut's Change Icon dialog.
  • The Mods entry is visible but disabled for now (no mod support yet).

✨ Features
🎞️ High framerate Up to your monitor's refresh rate. Camera, characters, objects, rain, particles, HUD and menus are interpolated. Gameplay is unchanged.
🖥️ Widescreen Aspect Ratio Expand shows more of the world in 1 and 2 players, with the HUD on the screen edges.
🔲 Full-screen 4:3 The 1-player view and both 2-player halves fill the whole picture.
💾 Controller Pak saves Save and load like on the console (port 1).
👥 2 players Split screen with two controllers.
📺 Film grain Optional, like the original console output.
🔊 Original timing 50 Hz, sound in sync with the cutscenes.
