VCThunder 0.4

Download VCThunder-0.4-windows.zip, unzip it somewhere you can write to, run VCThunder.exe, and import your own CHDs. No game is included. README.txt in the zip has the details.

Each file's SHA-256 is in VCThunder-0.4-SHA256SUMS.txt.

Arctic Thunder

• The third title. Import it from MAME's arctthnd CHD like the other two; it runs from
  the launcher or as VCThunder.exe arctic.
• Widescreen, HUD at the edges and pad rumble.

Ultimate Arctic Thunder

• The fourth title. Import its update CD (MAME's 040503_1309 CHD, or a .cue/.bin); it is
  laid over Arctic Thunder. It has its own Play card and needs no cabinet key.
• Widescreen, HUD at the edges and pad rumble.

Controls

• Select screens from the keyboard and a pad. The arrow keys, the D-pad, a stick and LB/RB
  move one item a press on the track, boat, truck, driver and initials screens, and the choice
  stays put. A wheel takes the screen back when turned. [analog] menu_wheel = off restores the
  old behaviour. See docs/configuration.md §4.1.

Launcher

• Graphics page: a table shows what each game gets.
• Force feedback and rumble per game: the Force Feedback page has the same game row as
  Controls, and each game keeps its own strength and rumble settings.
• Works with the keyboard and a controller. Tab reaches every control on every page; the
  D-pad moves, A presses, B goes back, LB/RB change page and Start plays the selected game.
  Escape closes the launcher. See docs/configuration.md §1.1.

Performance

• Processors with performance and efficiency cores (Intel 12th generation and later): the game
  runs on the performance cores, automatically.
• The CPU renderer uses only the cores it is allowed, so start /affinity no longer slows it
  down.
