Chonk Blocker Retro 1.0.7

Linux desktop fixes: stable focus and pause behavior on Wayland compositors, resilient audio across focus changes, and correct fullscreen scaling.

What's in this release

  • Treat the native game surface and the desktop window as a single focus owner and only pause after a short grace period confirms focus left the application, so hovering no longer pauses or mutes the game under focus-follows-mouse compositors such as Hyprland and Sway.
  • Mute audio at the producer during pauses instead of stopping and flushing the device line; rapid stop/flush cycles wedged PipeWire's ALSA bridge and left the game permanently silent after focus changes.
  • Reopen the audio device automatically after a mid-write failure instead of going silent, and hold a deeper 96 ms startup cushion so PipeWire's first burst reads cannot underrun a freshly primed line.
  • Release the OpenGL surface lock between frames on Linux and wait for the game surface to adopt its new size before resuming, so compositor-driven fullscreen and resizes apply instead of timing out after five seconds and leaving the output at its old size.
  • Export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 from the AppImage launcher on wlroots compositors and declare StartupWMClass so docks and taskbars group the window correctly.
  • Ship the exact 1.0.6 cartridge unchanged; this release updates the desktop application only.

Four ways to play

  • Standalone SNES ROM — a native 16-bit cartridge image for compatible hardware and emulators.
  • macOS — Apple-silicon DMG, Developer ID signed and notarized.
  • Windows — x64 desktop application with Azure-signed executables.
  • Linux — x86-64 AppImage.

Every asset has a sibling SHA-256 checksum. The desktop editions contain the exact standalone ROM published here.
