1.1.0

Pac-Man Recomp 1.1.0: no more waiting. The game now sets itself up from your ROM in about 2 seconds, instead of building for several minutes. The download is 5 MB, nothing else gets downloaded, and no internet is needed.

How to play: download PacManRecomp-1.1.0-Windows.zip, unzip it, double-click PacManRecomp.exe, pick your Pac-Man ROM (USA, Namco) and press Play. The first time, a small window sets the game up for a couple of seconds.

Updating from 1.0.x: press "Check for updates now" in the launcher. Your settings, high scores and mods are kept.

What changed:

• The download is the finished program, with no game code in it. On your PC, the recompiler and TinyCC (a tiny C compiler) turn your ROM into the game code in a couple of seconds. That still only happens on your PC, from a ROM you own.
• No more Build Pac-Man.bat, no 245 MB of build tools, no 2 GB of free space needed. That also fixes the slow builds on USB and exFAT drives.
• Updates are a 5 MB download and take seconds.

Which file do I download?

• New players, or anyone who wants a fresh install: download PacManRecomp-1.1.0-Windows.zip. That's the only file you need.
• Already have 1.0.x installed? You don't need to download anything. Press "Check for updates now" in the launcher and it updates itself. The other file, PacManRecomp-1.1.0-for-1.0.x-updater-EasyBuild.zip, is only there for that older in-game updater to use, so you can ignore it.

Some antivirus programs may be wary of a program that makes code on your PC. If yours blocks the setup, allow the game folder.
