Alpha 0.1.3

Alpha 0.1.3: single-player levels in multiplayer, a black-menu fix option, and Xenia's performance settings. Still an alpha for testers: please report what breaks and attach logs\tenchuz.log.

Note

No game files are included. You need your own Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360, USA/Europe release (En, Fr, De, Es, It), as a disc image (.iso) made from your own disc.

New

• Single-player levels in multiplayer: as the System Link host, open the lobby, press F6 > Online, pick one of the 14 single-player missions under Single-player levels in multiplayer, tick Use this level in multiplayer, then start the game. Level list from Teslafane's Xenia cheat table.
• Black menu fix option: F6 > Game > Sync GPU-written memory every frame. If menus show up black, turn it off (the same as Xenia's d3d12_clear_memory_page_state = false). On by default; applies at once.

Changed

• The shipped tenchuz.toml now uses the performance settings Xenia players use for this game: readback_memexport = false and occlusion_query_enable = false. Set either back to true if something looks wrong.

How to play

1. Download TenchuZ-HoloCattRecomp-0.1.3-alpha-windows.zip below and extract it to a folder you can write to (about 5 GB free needed).
2. Put your .iso in that folder and double-click Setup Tenchu Z.cmd.
3. Start Tenchu Z Launcher.cmd or tenchuz.exe. Press F6 in game for the Tenchu Z menu.

Updating from 0.1.x: extract the new zip into a new folder and run Setup again, or copy your extracted folder over from the old one. To get the new settings in an existing install, copy the three new lines from the new tenchuz.toml. Saves are in Documents\tenchuz.

Windows may warn about an unknown publisher (the files aren't signed): More info > Run anyway.
