WinBack Recompiled v0.2.1

This release adds full RecompLauncher support and a Mods menu, and fixes the crash when closing the game.

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

New

• RecompLauncher support: the launcher asks for your ROM and checks it, then prepares the game in a setup step. Window mode, resolution, anti-aliasing, Crop Overscan and Integer Scale can be changed on the game's page, which also has buttons to open the saves, mods and logs folders. Backups include your settings.
• Mods menu: turn mods on or off and change their settings. Turning a mod on or off takes effect after a restart, which the menu offers. A mod that can't be loaded is listed with the reason.
• Log file: when started from a launcher or without a console, the game writes logs/winback.log.
• Button names: the menu says Cross and Circle on PlayStation controllers.

Fixed

• The game no longer crashes while closing.

Known limitations

• RecompLauncher support and the Mods menu have been tested with scripted runs. They have had little testing inside the launcher itself or with real controllers.
• The launcher's Mods tab isn't available yet.
• Later missions have had little testing. Freezes or crashes are possible.
• Widescreen is not available yet. Rendering uses Vulkan.

Installing

1. Extract WinBackRecompiled-v0.2.1-Windows-x64.zip anywhere you can write to. To update, extract it over your existing folder; saves and settings are kept.
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, say where it happened and attach logs/winback.log if you have one. Running WinBackRecompiled.exe --console also shows the log.
