JSRF Launcher v2q: fifth release

The launcher sets up, builds, updates and starts the Jet Set Radio Future recompilation for you, on Windows, Linux and the Steam Deck. You need your own copy of the game (NTSC retail default.xbe).

Changes since v2i.

Settings → Video

  • Resolution scale now goes up to 5x (3200×2400) and 6x (3840×2880), for 4K screens. If the graphics card can't handle the size, the game steps down by itself.

Settings → Debug

  • Chapter select: a new game starts from the chosen chapter's opening or Garage (chapters 1–8).
    ⚠️ The chapter's earlier events are skipped, and the game has a few bugs using this setting. For debug purposes only.

Settings → Other settings (was "All settings")

  • Shown when the launcher's Debug is on.
  • Now lists every other setting the game reads (180 of them), grouped, each with a description of what it does: graphics, widescreen, draw distance, sound, controllers, logs, tests.
  • Tick a setting to turn it on; its value can be edited next to it.
  • ⚠️ Changes in here could break the game, so proceed at your own risk.

What it does

  • Update → Download: gets the project and the build tools (about 150 MB). No other installs needed.
  • Build: checks your default.xbe, generates the code and builds the game into your game folder. Each step skips what is already up to date.
  • Play: shows what is ready (✓ / ✗) and starts the game. Click a ✗ to go where it is fixed.
  • Settings: edits jsrf.ini in tabs (Gameplay, Video, Input, Audio, Debug, All settings). Your changes are kept through updates.
  • Update: gets the newest version of the project, and updates the launcher itself with Update launcher.

Controller and Steam Deck

  • Works with a controller: the d-pad moves between buttons, A presses, B closes a list, LB / RB change tab, Start plays. The settings lists scroll as you go down.
  • Works with the touchscreen.
  • Closes when the game starts, so it can be added to Steam as the game's entry.
  • Builds and runs natively on the Steam Deck, no Proton needed. Works in Game Mode.

Downloads

  • jsrf_launcher: Linux / Steam Deck
  • jsrf_launcher.exe: Windows

Put it in an empty folder and start it. The README explains each step.

Everything the launcher does is written to launcher_log.txt next to it. Include that file when reporting a problem.
