Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Recompiled v0.1.0

Changes

• Initial release: the full game is playable end to end — menus, matches (multi-controller included), post-match flow, and automatic cartridge SRAM save persistence
• High-resolution RT64 rendering with the original N64 visual effects, widescreen support, and full input rebinding
• Runs the original Japanese release (NA2J); see the Notes below for the ROM requirement

Notes

• No game assets are included. You must supply your own Virtual Pro Wrestling 2
  (Japan) ROM — SHA1 82DD25A044689EAB57AB362FE10C0DA6388C217A. On first
  launch, click Load ROM and select it; the launcher validates and remembers
  it. VPW2 was Japan-only; fan-translation patched ROMs are not accepted (their hashes differ).
• Windows SmartScreen: the exe is unsigned, so Windows may warn on first run.
  Click "More info" → "Run anyway".
• Saves and settings live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vpw2Recompiled\ — the cart's
  cartridge save (progress, created wrestlers) persists automatically. Save data is
  compatible across releases unless a release note says otherwise. For a portable
  install, create an empty portable.txt next to the exe.
• GPU: D3D12 by default. If you hit rendering issues, update your GPU drivers
  first, and please attach %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vpw2Recompiled\Vpw2Recompiled.log
  to any bug report.
• Known issues are tracked in the README.
