What's new in 1.1.0

  • 16:9 widescreen (on by default). Fights show more of the stage at the sides; the HUD stays centred. Switch back any time in the menu (+ and - together) under SCREEN: 16:9 / 4:3.
  • 2D menu screens (warning, SEGA logo, Player Select) get black side bars instead of stretched or repeated art.
  • Faster renderer: the 3D is split across the worker cores more evenly, and the 2D layers are drawn alongside it. Tested on hardware: locked 57.52 FPS in fights at 16:9.

Known limit: the arcade's 2D sky and horizon layers are only 512 pixels wide (the game shows 496), so at some camera angles a small seam can appear in the sky just past the old 4:3 edge. The 3D stage, buildings and fighters are drawn properly across the full width.

Installation

No ROMs or copyrighted game files are included. You must supply your own MAME vf2 ROM set.

v1.0.0

The first release of VF2-NX-Modern: a native Nintendo Switch port of Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Model 2A arcade), built by static recompilation.

Tested on hardware: locked 57.52 FPS (the Model 2 refresh rate) through full fights, including Sarah's stage.

Features

  • Static recompilation: the i960 game program, the TGP geometry program and the sound 68000 program are translated to native ARM64 code.
  • Accurate Model 2A timing: board timers implemented (fixes Pai's braid and slow loading).
  • SCSP sound: streamed voices and effects play correctly, and the reverb DSP works (a MAME register mirroring bug that smeared the mix is fixed).
  • Threaded renderer: the picture is drawn on a worker while the next frame runs; threads are pinned so sound never stalls the game.
  • Arcade mono mix (default) with voices and hits +3 dB; stereo selectable in the menu.
  • In-game menu (+ and - together): frame pacing, performance overlay, test/service switches, sound mix, mute.

Installation

No ROMs or copyrighted game files are included. You must supply your own MAME vf2 ROM set.
