WCW vs. nWo World Tour: Recompiled v0.1.0 (beta)

First public beta

WCW vs. nWo World Tour: Recompiled is a native PC port of the N64 original,
produced by statically recompiling the game's MIPS code into C — not an emulator,
not a decompilation. This is the first public release.

• Fully playable: boots, renders, and runs complete matches with sound in all
  modes — Exhibition, League, League Challenge, Tournament, and WCW vs. nWo.
• Plug and play: launch, pick your ROM (US release) once, play. The launcher
  validates and remembers it.
• Local multiplayer for up to 4 players: controllers are auto-assigned to
  players as you plug them in; keyboard drives player 1 by default.
• High-resolution rendering through RT64 with the game's original visual
  effects intact; widescreen via the Expand aspect-ratio option (default).
• Saves and rumble without pak juggling: the port emulates a hybrid
  Controller/Rumble Pak — on first boot the game offers to create its save note,
  exactly like real hardware, and saves persist automatically. Rumble works after
  answering the in-game prompt, with no risk to save data.
• Controls tailored to the game: World Tour's d-pad movement and analog taunt
  are mapped sensibly to modern pads (move on stick or d-pad, taunt on right
  stick, mirrored trigger defense); everything is rebindable in the in-game menu
  (Esc / Back button).

Known issues

• Framerate is locked to the original (frame interpolation warps geometry in this
  engine; high-framerate support is planned).
• Rumble is player 1 only (matches the game's own single-pak handling).
• Overlays (MSI Afterburner) and software like Wallpaper Engine can interfere
  with rendering.

Notes

• No game assets are included. You must supply your own WCW vs. nWo World Tour
  (USA) ROM — SHA1 5AD2D8359058C8BB71F08E3D3433B7A50D3BB645. On first launch,
  click Load ROM and select it; the launcher validates and remembers it.
• Windows SmartScreen: the exe is unsigned, so Windows may warn on first run.
  Click "More info" → "Run anyway".
• Saves and settings live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\WCWRecompiled\ (saves in the
  saves subfolder). For a portable install, create an empty portable.txt next
  to the exe.
• GPU: Direct3D 12 by default; a DX12-capable GPU and up-to-date drivers are
  required. If you hit issues, please attach
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\WCWRecompiled\WCWRecompiled.log to a bug report.
• Verify your download: SHA256SUMS contains the checksum of the zip
  (Get-FileHash WCWRecompiled-v0.1.0-Windows.zip in PowerShell to compare).
