v2.9.2

What's new in 2.9.2: Setup says why it stops

Fixed:

• Setup stuck at 1% (#28). When an install couldn't start (unpacking the collection, or copying a ROM, went wrong), Setup kept the error to itself and stayed on the progress page at 1%. It now stops and shows why.
• Linux, through Wine or Proton: this was where it stuck. Setup builds each game with Windows' own PowerShell and tar, which Wine doesn't have, so it can't install there yet. It now checks for both before it starts and says so, instead of hanging. Making it install under Wine is being worked on.

Not fixed yet:

• Sprites flickering in 7A's robot factory when it's crowded (#21).
• A light black flicker with high frame rate (Streets of Rage 2), round 6's screen unlock glitch (#20, the other parts) and the background jitter at the start of a level (#17).

Everything from 2.9.1 is in this release. If you have 2.9 or later, the collection offers this update when it opens.

Download Streets-of-Rage-Collection-Setup-v2.9.2.exe below and run it.

Setup asks where to install (your user's Programs folder by default, no administrator rights needed), then for your own ROMs: Streets of Rage (World), Streets of Rage 2 (USA) and Streets of Rage 3 (USA), with optional rows under it for Bare Knuckle III (Japan), its English patch and the Bare Knuckle III DX patch (Bare Knuckle III is built on the USA ROM, so pick that one too). Each is checked as you pick it; skip any you do not have and add it later by running Setup again (Settings > Apps > Streets of Rage Collection > Modify).

It then downloads the build tools it needs (Node.js, CMake, Ninja and LLVM-MinGW, about 260 MB, from their publishers, checked against pinned SHA-256s) into the install folder, builds each game from its ROM (a few minutes), and adds the collection to the Start menu.

No part of any game is included in this release. You need your own copies of the cartridges.
