  • Every room in the game was walked through in 16:9 and checked against the original 4:3 picture.
  • The black bars where a level ends no longer flash or jump in layered scenes, such as the rooftops, when the view moves up or down.
  • The throne room before the final boss now shows the right graphics at the sides in 16:9.
  • 17 more rooms with wrong tiles at the sides are fixed, including the castle corridors, the gargoyle hall and most of chapter 6.
  • Background walls made of one repeated tile no longer turn black at the sides.
  • Doors and three other kinds of objects are now drawn at the sides of the screen.
  • The stone giant's head now bounces across the whole 16:9 width, up to the ends of its arena.
  • 74 more parts of the game are compiled ahead of time instead of running through the interpreter.

16:9 mode is still undergoing active testing and there might be a few visual glitches. 4:3 is the best experience for now, but 16:9 is almost perfect.

  1. Extract MagicalPopn-Builder.zip anywhere.
  2. Drag your Magical Pop'n ROM onto Builder.exe (or onto its window).
  3. About a minute later, press Play.

Nothing to install: no Python, no Visual Studio. Any dump works (.sfc, .smc or .zip, headered or not, original or translated). The game is built from your own ROM.

Includes a trimmed llvm-mingw clang toolchain (64-bit Windows only) in toolchain/.
