WinBack Recompiled v0.2.2

This patch fixes the buttons changing places during play (issue #1).

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

Fixed

• Buttons changing places: in scripted camera views where you still have control, such as the security camera view near the end of the first mission, the fire, reload and weapon buttons no longer swap.
• Level Select: recorded checkpoints now load at the checkpoint's own starting point instead of the start of the map.
• Character drawing: one frame could mix body parts from two game updates. The game now waits until each frame's drawing commands have been read.

For mod makers

• Mods can read controllers and set their own button layout, and have a clock (winback_mod_pad_read, winback_mod_pad_set, winback_mod_time_us).

Known limitations

• Later missions have had little testing. Freezes or crashes are possible.
• The launcher's Mods tab isn't available yet.
• Widescreen is not available yet. Rendering uses Vulkan.

Installing

1. Extract WinBackRecompiled-v0.2.2-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.
