Rocket Knight Adventures Recomp v1.0.0

Rocket Knight Adventures Recomp v1.0.0

The first stable release. Windows x64 ZIP and Linux x86_64 AppImage. Bring
your own Rocket Knight Adventures (USA) ROM (CRC32 A6EFEC47); no ROM is
included.

Version 1.0 marks the port as stable after the v0.1 playtest series. It
runs the game natively on PC with:

• Adaptive widescreen across all seven stages, including vehicle
  sections, boss arenas and cutscenes. It is now on by default in
  Adaptive (fit window), which follows the window as you resize it; fixed
  16:9, 21:9 and 32:9 modes remain. Turn it off under Mods > Widescreen
  for the original 4:3 view. A choice saved by an earlier version is kept.
• Enemy activation choice: Expanded Spawn Range (default) or the original
  timing.
• Rewind through recent play and visual save states with nine
  previewed slots and direct shortcuts.
• Launcher with ROM selection, keyboard and controller remapping, and
  video, audio and rewind settings.
• Built-in mods: Start Stage, Infinite Lives, Infinite Health and
  Invincible.

Gameplay code is unchanged from v0.1.14: the generated native code is
identical and all 41 authored intro, stage and ending area IDs still match
the interpreter-backed baseline across 246 RAM/screenshot captures in
6000-frame 32:9 routes with strict stack checking. This assisted survey does
not certify every boss victory or an unassisted complete playthrough.

Extract the entire Windows ZIP and run RKARecomp.exe, or run the Linux
AppImage in a writable folder, then select your ROM. Keep settings.ini,
rka-video.ini, rom-RKA.cfg and your saves when upgrading. Save states
require the same build and configuration.

Known limitations: a few arena and cutscene margins repeat or mirror
background details (later machine room, Earth transition), some boss artwork
clips at arena edges, a flying boss can briefly show a thin propeller slice
at the extreme edge, and the attract demo can diverge from its recorded
inputs.

Special thanks to l0ll0_76 (L0LL0) for extensive QA and playtesting.

Both packages passed extracted fresh-folder checks: a folder with no settings starts in Adaptive widescreen with Expanded Spawn Range, and a saved enabled = 0 still starts in the original view. The Linux AppImage matches the Windows ZIP pixel-for-pixel with identical RAM/VRAM in all ten package cases. All 41 retained routes were replayed on the production Windows package with all 246 captures identical to the baseline; the hidden launcher smoke test passed. Production builds disable the TCP debug server and development tracing. ROMs, saves, user settings and private captures are excluded. Game version and state/build compatibility guards remain intact; these checks do not qualify cross-build netplay.
