Virtual Pro Wrestling 64: Recompiled v0.3.1 is a small update to 0.3.0: controller settings that stick, steadier ray-traced arena lighting, and tidier wording in two conversion messages.

Fixed

  • Controller bindings are saved as soon as you change them, and each saved controller keeps its own bindings. Before, changes could be lost if the game was closed without going back through the menu, and two pads could end up sharing one set of bindings.
  • An analog stick or trigger bound to a button no longer flickers on and off when held near the edge of its travel: it now presses at half travel and lets go a little below that.
  • With ray tracing on, an arena's lighting no longer switches off and back on during close-ups (holds, pins, taunts). Once the game has recognised an arena, it keeps that arena's lighting through shots that don't show the arena itself.
  • Two conversion messages no longer point to our internal to-do list: the log line written when a conversion's per-surface lighting materials are skipped, and the message given when a relinked conversion's custom models can't load.

Notes

  • Updating from 0.3.0: unzip over your old folder, or into a new one. Saves, settings, conversions and mods carry over.
  • No game assets are included. You must supply your own Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 (Japan) ROM — SHA1 F9E9FA2ED819C3A39DB5CB6AFECA186F021DB5ED. Select the unpatched Japanese ROM; the English translation plays as a conversion built from it plus the patch you supply. Nothing from the ROM or the hacks ships with this release.
  • Saves and settings live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vpw64Recompiled\. For a portable install, create an empty portable.txt next to the exe.
  • Windows SmartScreen: the exe is unsigned, so Windows may warn on first run. Click "More info" → "Run anyway".
  • Bug reports: update your GPU drivers first, and please attach %LOCALAPPDATA%\Vpw64Recompiled\Vpw64Recompiled.log.
