SimCity SNES Static Recomp 1.4.1

Minor production static-core correction release. Recovered the missing exact-ROM S-CPU contexts at 00:B033-00:B03C and added the conservative S-CPU closure guard. No newly added development tests or audit tooling are included. The local production build passed the repository original 7 release gates, and GitHub Windows CI passed.

SimCity SNES Static Recomp 1.4.0

SimCity SNES Static Recomp 1.4.0 modernizes the Windows frontend and completes the static audio upgrade while retaining SimCity's real widescreen renderer.

Highlights:

• Ports the current Jungle Strike native Win32/GDI frontend architecture with accessible dialogs, unified settings, snapshots, exact rational NTSC pacing and SDL3 gamepad input.
• Replaces the old SDL3 speaker stream with the Mesen-derived DirectSound ring-buffer path, selectable resampling and bounded device-clock correction.
• Replaces the former emulator S-DSP runtime with the project-owned fixed 32-phase S-DSP while preserving SimCity's ROM-derived exact-PC S-SMP authority.
• Preserves native 32,040 Hz PCM, knownness, overflow and deterministic hash diagnostics; real-ROM snapshot continuation is verified byte for byte.
• Retains and adapts SimCity's real 398x239 widescreen renderer, including extended map pixels, cursor travel, construction, camera limits and all four map edges.
• Makes F8 capture the active core framebuffer in windowed mode and the exact borderless presentation in fullscreen mode.
• Restores foreground and keyboard focus after Welcome and other frontend dialogs, and makes first-run Welcome state persistent in settings.ini.
• Orders shortcuts as Escape, quick snapshot keys 1/2, then the uninterrupted F1-F8 function-key group; intercepted shortcuts cannot be saved as gameplay bindings.
• Adds seven automated release gates covering DSP timing, audio snapshot continuation, static-audio purity, input, settings and resampling.
• Passes the final 10,000-frame soak with 5,331,145 PCM frames and zero overflow. Final interactive audio and three-mode display testing also passed.

The original SimCity ROM is required externally and is not included.

SimCity SNES Static Recomp 1.3.0

SimCity SNES Static Recomp 1.3.0 adds the confirmed Wide Screen and audio improvements.

Highlights:

• Adds a real 398x239 gameplay view, rendering 71 additional pixels of city-map data on both sides without stretching or repeating the original framebuffer.
• Keeps title, setup, scenario, tutorial, information, and modal screens in their authentic presentation.
• Extends cursor movement, camera panning, toolbar commands, and building placement into the new screen area.
• Fixes HUD hide/show transitions, shared toolbar cursor coordinates, duplicated sprite fragments, and all four map-edge cases.
• Replaces the fixed WinMM playback buffers with a statically linked SDL3 audio stream while preserving the Full Static S-SMP/S-DSP core and native 32,040 Hz PCM generation.
• Adds stream priming, queue monitoring, selected-device support, bounded drift correction, and clean pause/resume behavior.
• Changes the launcher toolbar order to Full screen, Wide Screen, Auto-Run.
• Includes detailed Wide Screen - 1.3.0.txt and Audio - 1.3.0.txt implementation records.

• Replaced the frontend and core connector with the proven native Windows structure used across the current static recomp projects.
• Added native Win32/GDI video, fixed-buffer WinMM audio, SDL3 gamepad input, unified controls and settings, and Bubble Bobble-style launcher layout.
• Consolidated frontend, controller, audio, display, snapshot, ROM path and first-run Welcome state into one settings.ini file.
• Corrected Welcome, About, snapshot shortcuts, first-run behavior, Escape handling, focus-pause defaults and release folder behavior.
• Added on-demand Saves and Screenshots support with release-safe documentation.
