Alpha / pre-release

DKC3Recomp is still in bring-up. This build fixes the reported Murky Mill
widescreen light-cone clipping; it is not a claim of full-game compatibility.

You must supply your own headerless North American (En,Fr) DKC3 ROM. The
supported 4 MiB image has SHA-256
2277a2d8dddb01fe5cb0ae9a0fa225d42b3a11adccaeafa18e3c339b3794a32b.
No ROM, save data, generated C, screenshots, music, or extracted game assets
are included in the download.

What's new in v0.0.2

  • Murky Mill's HDMA-windowed BG3 light cones now continue through the 16:10
    and 16:9 margins instead of clipping at a native edge and repeating on the
    opposite side.
  • Windowed 32-column backgrounds are rendered over the physical widescreen
    span so the SNES PPU window is evaluated at the correct screen position.
  • Ordinary bounded backgrounds retain their authentic 256-pixel repeat, and
    the native 4:3 presentation is unchanged.

macOS build

  • Apple silicon (arm64), macOS 26 or newer.
  • Ad-hoc signed and not notarized. If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch,
    Control-click DKC3Recomp.app, choose Open, and confirm once.
  • Includes its SDL2 runtime and original project icon.
  • Open the app and select the supported ROM in the launcher; the ROM remains
    outside the application bundle.

Validation

  • Built from commit 9f6e50b with the pinned submodules.
  • 19 of 19 CTest checks passed, including the private-ROM headless boot and the
    hidden macOS app, 16:10, and quick-save smoke tests.
  • At the reported quick-save state, the 16:9 native center and the complete
    4:3 frame are pixel-identical with the fix toggled off and on.
  • The extracted release ZIP passed an additional 180-frame hidden-app run with
    overlay, rewind, and fast-forward enabled.
  • Deep strict code-signature verification passed before and after archiving.
  • ZIP SHA-256: 60088991f9e2e438145d6402bce1807a16fa3d990e510cd84e6023ef6a630af8.

Traversal through the whole stage and other windowed-effect variants, Intel
Macs, notarization, and the carried-over Windows host remain unverified.
