WinBack Recompiled v0.1.0

First public release of WinBack Recompiled, a native PC port of WinBack: Covert Operations (N64, USA) made by static recompilation.

You need your own ROM: WinBack - Covert Operations (USA), big-endian .z64, SHA-1 fa04477b321a95e1f7a2edcac5c09bfa6ef72041. No game data is included.

What works

• Boots through the intros, title screen and Controller Pak save into the first mission at 60 fps.
• Mission 1 has been play-tested by hand, including aiming with the laser sight.
• Keyboard and controller input, audio, fullscreen (F11 or Alt+Enter).
• Fully portable: the ROM copy, saves and all other data stay in the game's folder.
• Packaged for RecompLauncher and Quiver Launcher (includes recomplauncher.json).

Known limitations

• Later missions, game over and the remaining cutscenes have had little testing. Freezes or crashes are possible.
• No settings menu yet. Rendering uses Vulkan.

Installing

1. Extract WinBackRecompiled-v0.1.0-Windows-x64.zip anywhere you can write to.
2. Run WinBackRecompiled.exe and select your ROM when asked (or place it next to the exe first).

Requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and a GPU with Vulkan support.

If something goes wrong, please open an issue and say where it happened. Running WinBackRecompiled.exe --console shows a log that helps with diagnosis.
