Ex Plus Alpha v0.2.4-alpha — Online Play and Versus Scoreboard

This Windows x64 release enables online play with lobby support and rollback netcode, and adds player nameplates and a cumulative match scoreboard to Versus gameplay.

Highlights

  • Online multiplayer: play Versus matches through the online lobby with rollback synchronization.
  • Online player names: each player's online display name appears on the correct side of the HUD.
  • Versus-only nameplates: the player bars and score boxes appear during Versus gameplay and stay hidden in other game modes and selection screens.
  • Compact player bars: names use up to eight display characters, with longer names truncated for presentation.
  • Separate win boxes: each player's total appears in its own box beside the nameplate.
  • Cumulative match scores: each completed match adds one point to its winner. A P1 win followed by a P2 win displays 1–1, rather than replacing the previous player's streak.
  • Session continuity: rematches and character changes preserve the accumulated score.
  • Score resets: returning to mode selection, starting a new session, successfully loading a manual save state, or disconnecting clears the scores.
  • Result protection: held result flags and replay transitions do not repeatedly award the same match. The counters and result latch participate in rollback snapshots so a restored result can be recalculated.
  • Non-scoring results: results excluded by the game's native scoring rules do not award a point.

Package contents

The portable package contains the game launcher/runtime, online lobby support, required non-system DLLs, interface assets and fonts, bundled mod resources, third-party license notices, and a file integrity manifest. It includes bundled resources for the 8 MB RAM, CD speed, fast loading, HD textures, PGXP, and bezel options; inclusion does not mean every option is enabled by default.

This is a Release build with diagnostic tools disabled. Build directories, compilers, development tools, personal saves, and personal settings are not included. Python, CMake, and MSYS2 are not required to run the package.

Installation

  1. Download and extract exPlusAlpha-20261021-193923.zip into a writable folder.
  2. Run exPlusAlpha.exe.
  3. Select your own supported Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha (USA), SLUS-00548 disc image and SCPH1001.BIN BIOS in the launcher. The disc image and BIOS are not included.
  4. For online play, both players should use this same release and matching supported game content.

Validation and status

The maintainer built and tested the supplied package. Reported tests confirmed Versus-only HUD visibility, cumulative counters, reset on return to mode selection, online player names, and successful synchronized online gameplay. This remains an alpha release for further testing; these reports do not constitute exhaustive validation of all network conditions, draw outcomes, disconnect paths, or rollback scenarios.

The published ZIP is the exact existing package tested by the maintainer; it was not rebuilt or repackaged during publication. The packaged runtime version string remains 0.2.0-online-dev; v0.2.4-alpha identifies this GitHub release. Source commits created for publication record the tested working-tree implementation and submodule revisions after the binary was built.
