decomp-it-up-Zero v0.2.4

Pump It Up: Zero reconstruction for Windows x64, version 0.2.4.

Contents: Pumpy.exe, SDL2.dll, z.dll (zlib), vcruntime140.dll. Video (libmpeg2) is linked into the executable.

How to use: extract the zip into your own Pump It Up Zero data folder (next to AUDIO/, BGA/, SCRIPT/, TITLE/, WAVE/ and STEP.DAT) and run Pumpy.exe. Game assets are not included.

New since 0.2.2:

• Single save file (0.2.4): settings, bookkeeping, ranking and play counts now live in one file, PIUZERO.INI, instead of pumpprex3.ini and PIUEXCEED2.INI. On the first run the old files are imported automatically; they are not deleted, so you can remove them once you have checked your settings. This is the port's own format, not the original game's PIUZERO.INI: if a PIUZERO.INI that was not written by the port is found, it is kept as PIUZERO.INI.orig.
• Operator menu footer (0.2.3): now the Zero one (PUMP IT UP: ZERO, (C) 1999-2006 ANDAMIRO CO., LTD.), with the project version on the build line.

See v0.2.2 for the larger set of changes this builds on (judgment timing, modifiers, Player 2 fixes, vsync).

Not tested in game yet: these changes were built and reviewed in code only. Please report anything that still misbehaves.

Known issues: the Accelerate (AC) and Decelerate (DC) modifiers still have no effect, and there is a pause of about one second when entering the song select.

Antivirus note: some engines flag new, unsigned executables with generic or machine-learning heuristics (for example Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml). Pumpy.exe is built with MSVC directly from the source in this repository, with no packer or obfuscation, and it has no network code. If Windows Defender blocks it, open Windows Security → Protection history and choose "Allow on device", or build it yourself (see README).
