Tomba! 2 v0.1.0 - Seamless Loading

Seamless Loading is now enabled by default for Tomba! 2 (USA, SCUS-94454).

• Near-instant area loading using resources prepared from your own disc, with normal gameplay and audio pacing.
• First launch builds a local resource cache; subsequent launches reuse it. No player-side compiler or extraction script is needed for resource preparation.
• Replaces the generic CD Speed and turbo-style Fast Loading options. Disable Seamless Loading in Mods to restore the original loader.
• Removes the experimental debug menu from the bundle because its modified code caused severe slowdown.
• Includes freshly prepared and audited native code for the original area images and shared overlays, including the opening prologue.

The owner accepted late-game area playtesting. Cutscenes, music and speech keep their normal playback behavior.

Download the Windows x64 ZIP or Linux x86_64 AppImage below. Both include OpenBIOS and require your original US disc image. Disc resources, retail BIOS dumps and player saves are not included. SHA-256 sidecars accompany both downloads.

For a Windows upgrade, extract into a fresh folder and copy your saves over so retired mod packages are not carried forward. The Linux AppImage refreshes the bundled catalog automatically while preserving saves, mod selections and user-installed packages.

This release is for the US game. The Italian version remains available in its existing separate release; arbitrary asset replacements are outside this loader's validated scope.
