DKC3Recomp v0.0.5 - Windows and macOS

This release adds a native Windows x64 build with the shared Mac/PC settings
and dark Windows menus. The latest existing Mac build is included unchanged.

Downloads

  • Windows: DKC3Recomp-v0.0.5-windows-x64.zip. Extract the entire folder
    and run DKC3Recomp.exe. Keep the bundled SDL2.dll and assets beside it.
    This build is unsigned.
  • macOS: DKC3Recomp-v0.0.4-macOS-arm64.zip. This is the exact archive
    from the previous release, not a new Mac build. It requires Apple silicon
    and macOS 26 or newer, and retains its existing ad-hoc signature.

Supply your own headerless North American (En,Fr) DKC3 ROM (4 MiB), SHA-256
2277a2d8dddb01fe5cb0ae9a0fa225d42b3a11adccaeafa18e3c339b3794a32b.
No ROM, save files, generated C, or gameplay captures are included.

Windows improvements

  • Dark title bars in both the launcher and game, plus dark Game/View menus
    and nested dropdowns. The product title is now simply DKC3Recomp.
  • Native Pause / Settings, quick save/load, fullscreen, About and Quit commands.
  • Live 4:3, 16:10, 16:9 and 21:9 selection; nearest, bilinear and reconstruction
    scaling; all five reconstruction modes including dither decoding; level-edge
    policies and Raw/CRT/Composite/Trinitron screen models.
  • Shared detailed settings for reconstruction strength, softness and shading,
    audio, controls and Assist Tools. Open Game > Pause / Settings > Settings.
  • Settings and native menu checkmarks stay synchronized and persist locally.
  • Closing the game also works while its settings overlay is open.

The Mac source, menus, display-link pacing and platform-specific build paths
remain in the repository. Windows additions are platform-guarded; portable
presentation and audio-rate control remain shared. The carried-forward Mac
archive retains its original embedded version and UI labels.

Verification and scope

  • All 23 Windows project tests pass, including private-ROM boot and checks at
    all four aspect ratios with reconstruction, overlay, rewind, fast-forward
    and save/load. The separate ROM-free configuration passes all 17 tests.
  • Packaged Windows launcher, game, dark menus, nested aspect selection,
    detailed settings and clean window-close were verified locally.
  • The Mac archive was checked against the previous release's SHA-256:
    5b8966c44d6973f8244939c49c23a2d25fc0085bc7513ae87e3ab6259f986601.
    It was not rebuilt or rerun on this Windows machine.

Full-game traversal, broad hardware/controller coverage and cross-machine
frame-pacing benchmarks remain unverified. See docs/BRINGUP.md for the
specific checks and known runtime diagnostics.
