Sharper tracks with optional HD Mode 7 rendering.
- Enable Mods > HD Mode 7 and choose 2x or 4x. The enhancement is off by default and works independently of Widescreen and Presentation FPS.
- Race and attract-mode tracks are sampled at higher resolution with smoother affine coordinates and interpolation between compatible camera scanlines. Cars, HUD and menus retain their original pixel artwork.
- Both SDL and OpenGL/shader presentation receive the enlarged texture. Start at 2x if 4x costs too much performance, especially with wide aspect ratios or high presentation FPS.
- Includes the shared snesrecomp HD Mode 7 renderer, plus the ROM-selection persistence fix from v1.7.1.
Download the Windows x64 ZIP or Linux x86_64 AppImage below. Supply your own F-Zero (USA) ROM. BS F-Zero Deluxe remains included with its authors' permission. ROMs, personal settings/saves, music packs, MSU patches and imported third-party shaders are not included.
See HD Mode 7 details for supported scenes and rendering limits.
Validation: all nine F-Zero tests pass on Windows and Linux. Both packaged downloads pass 1,600-frame stock and BS Deluxe checks with HD off and at 4x; guest memory matches, and 4x output is 1368x896 at 16:9. A 10,800-frame native soak passes with no audio underruns.
