v0.1.0

First public release of AKI Launcher - a native Windows hub for the AKI-engine N64 wrestling recompilations.

Highlights

  • Box-art carousel of all six AKI N64 wrestling games (front/back flip, blurred backdrops, play stats)
  • In-app downloads: WCW vs. nWo World Tour, Virtual Pro Wrestling 64, WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF WrestleMania 2000 install straight from their GitHub releases (SHA256-verified). VPW2 and No Mercy tiles activate when their ports publish.
  • Bring-your-own-ROM: each game asks for your legally dumped ROM once (SHA1-validated, kept with the install)
  • Cartridge-insert launch animation; seamless borderless handoff into each game
  • Quick-back: Shift+F12 or hold View+Menu in game -> the port's quit prompt -> back to the launcher (saves finish first)
  • One-key updates when a port publishes a new release (U / RB)
  • Windowed or fullscreen (F11 / Alt+Enter); controller-aware UI hints

Notes

  • No ROMs or game assets are included. You need your own dumps; the games download from their own repos' releases, which also contain no game data.
  • Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run (unsigned exe): More info -> Run anyway.
  • Settings and play stats: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AkiLauncher\settings.ini. Games install to games\ next to the exe (portable), or %AKI_GAMES_ROOT%.
  • Unofficial fan preservation project - not affiliated with AKI Corporation / syn Sophia, Hyperfocus Games, WWE, THQ or Nintendo.
