BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception (C64) Static Recomp 1.0.0 for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11.

Download BattleTech-C64-Static-Recomp-1.0.0-Windows-x64.zip, extract it, place legally obtained BATTLET0.D64 and BATTLET1.D64 images matching the documented SHA-256 hashes in the Rom folder, and run Launcher.exe.

The original BattleTech game disk images are not included.

Highlights:

  • Compact generated authority for 21,637 exact C64 game-code blocks with fail-closed native dispatch.
  • Native C64 memory, VIC-II, CIA, SID 6581, 1541, VIA, IEC and GCR runtime components.
  • One stripped Launcher.exe containing the Launcher and game modes, with SDL 2.32.10 statically linked.
  • Separate Welcome, Settings, Audio and Controls windows with keyboard navigation.
  • Tab moves forward and Shift+Tab moves backward through frontend controls, including read-only text boxes.
  • Quick-save snapshots, persistent writable game data and game-frame screenshots are stored outside the original D64 images.

Validation:

  • Clean MinGW-w64 x64 production build completed with warnings treated as errors.
  • Frontend input-adapter and dedicated 6510 IRQ/NMI tests passed.
  • Source and release inventories contain no BattleTech D64 images, credentials or generated settings.
  • The Windows archive contains one executable and no SDL2.dll.
