v0.3
2a5b483

v0.3. Bring your own ROM: everything is read from your copy of Mutant League Hockey (USA, Europe) at runtime. The first time you start the game, a file dialog asks for it (or put it next to the executable or the AppImage).

New since v0.2-pre.1

  • GAME TIMING. UNLOCKED, the new default, plays the game as on a stock Genesis, never slowed by load, with your player and the picture updated at TICKRATE: 30 or 60 HZ, or 20 to 240 HZ offline (experimental). ORIGINAL and APPROXIMATED keep the original's pace, slowdowns included.
  • Smoother 3D. The 3D camera follows play without stutter, and the players are placed between pixels.
  • Positional sound. The effects in stereo, placed by the camera in 2D and 3D and heard off screen too (POSITIONAL SOUND; ORIGINAL keeps the original's sound). Online, every machine plays its own sound.
  • Playoff runs. The players who die in a playoff game stay dead in the next one, as in the original.
  • Faster. Less work a frame in 2D, in 3D and online.
  • Closer to the original. The goal song plays after a Demon Net goal only.
  • Memory leak fix. Oopsie.

Online play needs everyone on the same build: v0.3 doesn't play with v0.2-pre.1.

New in v0.2

v0.2 only ever came out as a prerelease (v0.2-pre.1), so its changes since v0.1 are part of this release too:

  • Up to 12 players, locally and online. Every player on a controller of their own, with character selection, captain votes and line-ups before a match. Online play is encrypted, with an optional password, and you can rejoin after a drop. Run-ahead keeps the menus and play responsive.
  • EXTENDED play. The 2D EXTENDED and 3D EXTENDED cameras zoom to keep every player's character and the puck in view. EXTENDED PENALTIES and EXTENDED CPU are optional.
  • CREATE-A-TEAM. Make your own teams: city, name, logo and colours, and a coach with his own face and speeches.
  • Playoff saves. Save and load playoff runs, custom teams included.
  • Replays. FULL GAME instant replays rewind over the whole match; hold a button to go faster. Save matches, then watch them and the attract demos from REPLAYS.
  • The arena.
    • Blood and oil stay on the 3D ice, boards and glass all match (ABACABB MODE).
    • Detailed ice and reflections.
    • The crowd sways and cheers with the game.
    • 3D benches.
    • The match's opening in 3D.
    • A pool of new organ tunes.
  • A Linux AppImage.
  • Options.
    • Widescreen/Ultrawide
    • Shot height buttons.
    • Per-player bindings with STANDARD and GENESIS layouts.
    • Button prompts for keyboards and gamepads.
  • Penalties and reserves are on by default in new games.

Fixes and performance

  • Replays rewind and fast-forward smoothly. REPLAY BLOOD (off by default) shows the arena's paint in replays.
  • Faster loading between screens.
  • Many fixes from playtesting.
