BBLIT Remaster 1.0-beta

First public release: Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time on a modern renderer.

What's in it

• Any refresh rate (60/120/144 Hz) at the correct game speed: logic stays at its native 30 ticks, and the frames in between are drawn from the game's own geometry with movement, camera and animation interpolated. This is not frame generation: no images are guessed, physics and the rest of the game logic are untouched.
• Hor+ widescreen without stretching; HUD anchored to the screen edges.
• 2× draw distance (4× for characters) with smooth fade-in. Fog to the sky colour so the bigger world doesn't end in a hard edge; ground haze in "Wabbit on the run!" and "Magic Hare Blower".
• PS1-like brightness (the PC port rendered the world about half as bright).
• 4× MSAA, correct PS1 transparency, no cracks in cliffs and no holes when swinging the camera.
• Native XInput: analogue walk/run, camera on the right stick, jump buffer, Start = pause.
• Fixed: Bugs no longer sinks into pushable stones; the time machine no longer sticks through the title logo; hub holes no longer flicker; horizon silhouettes are dark as on the PS1; a leaf in front of the camera no longer cuts holes in what is behind it; no seams along leaf edges and inside hub holes; level-entrance vortices spin smoothly.
• Hybrid CPUs (Linux/Proton): the main thread runs on the fast cores (Legion Go 2 at 10 W: 119–120 fps in the heaviest scenes).

Install. Extract the archive into the game folder (ddraw.dll and remaster.ini go into BIN) and run BIN\bugs.exe /opengl /win /b0 /x800 /y600. Under Linux/Proton, prepend WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ddraw=n,b" PROTON_NO_NTSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%. Full instructions are in the README.

Beta. Tested on Linux (Proton). Windows is untested, so reports in the issues with BIN\remaster.log are very welcome. Requires an OpenGL 4.6 GPU and an unpatched bugs.exe 1.6 (772 096 bytes, SHA-256 7342f72443aad4f6efb366449f123dbe2baf7d45cbd1f3e8512aa70506512139).
