v1.1.1

Urban Recomp runs the Super Nintendo city builder natively on Windows and Linux. You need your own copy of the US cartridge; the packages contain no game data.

A patch on 1.1.0, which brought the new widescreen renderer. Two fixes on the scenario selector, both in the card columns that only the widescreen shows:

  • The card pictures are black again. Their dark areas showed the desk's wood grain instead. The renderer laid a plank of desk under every pixel of that screen; a card picture's dark pixels are transparent, so the wood came through where the guest's own columns show black.
  • Those cards now fade in with the rest, instead of appearing at full brightness once the fade was over.

Everything else is unchanged from 1.1.0, so if you are already on it, this is a small one.

Windows

  1. Download UrbanRecomp-v1.1.1-windows-x64.zip below and unpack it.
  2. Put your US ROM (.sfc or .smc, any file name) into the folder.
  3. Start UrbanRecomp.exe.

Linux (x86-64, Ubuntu 24.04 or newer, or a distribution of that age)

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0
sudo tar -xzf UrbanRecomp-v1.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /usr/local

Start Urban Recomp from the application menu, or run urbanrecomp. The game keeps its ROM, settings and saves in ~/.local/share/urbanrecomp: put your US ROM there (any file name), or pick it in the launcher.

German and French

The translations are built from your own German or French cartridge, so they cannot be shipped. With Python 3.9+ and Pillow, and the US ROM plus the German or French ROM next to the game:

python tools/make_translations.py de      # or fr

The Windows package includes the script. On Linux, run it from the source tree with --out ~/.local/share/urbanrecomp. Then choose the language in the launcher.

What is in it

  • Widescreen: as wide as the aspect you pick (21:9 by default, --aspect 32:9 for the wider monitors), with the city map, the vehicles, the wooden desk, the title screen and the menus carried out into the margins.
  • Sylt as a ninth scenario, lytron's map, used with permission.
  • F10 settings menu: comfort options, cheats (the game's own debug cheats, ALL SCENARIO WON, population and class overrides), replaying won scenarios as free play, and disaster triggers behind a safety catch.
  • German and French, built from your own cartridges.

Thanks to mstan for the adaptive renderer and to lytron for the Sylt map.
