v0.1.3

e0e1ec5

Packages contain the program and the build kit; they do not include the game's original assets. On first start the program asks for the GOG Moto Racer setup and builds the game code on your machine (a few minutes, once).

Updating from 0.1.2:

Mac: replace MotoRacer.app.
Windows / Linux / Steam Deck: extract the new version over your MotoRacer folder (don't delete it).

The game code is rebuilt once; saves and settings are kept. New in this version on Windows / Linux / Steam Deck: everything (game files, compiled game code, saves, settings, logs) now lives inside the MotoRacer folder. The first start moves an existing install from the old per-user folder into it.

macOS (Apple Silicon): MotoRacer-macos-arm64.zip → MotoRacer.app
Windows x86_64: MotoRacer-windows-x86_64.zip → MotoRacer\motoracer.exe
Linux x86_64 / Steam Deck: MotoRacer-linux-x86_64.tar.xz → MotoRacer/motoracer

New

All ten tracks (#9): the data disk's Fun Fair and Sea of Sand sit next to the eight original tracks in single races, with no more switching data disks in Options. On by default; Options › Recomp › ALL TRACKS turns it off.
Smooth bike pitch on slopes (#11): the original pitches the bike in steps where road sections meet, which shook the cockpit view. Your bike's pitch is now smoothed for the view only; the physics are unchanged. Options › Recomp › SMOOTH BIKE PITCH (not on the PSP).
Controller settings name your pad's buttons: RT / LT / RB / A on Xbox-style pads, R2 / L2 / R1 / Cross on PlayStation, ZR / ZL / R / B on Nintendo, instead of "Button 0" and arrows.
Keyboard and gamepad together: a pad found at start switches CONTROLLER from KEYBOARD to JOYSTICK, the analog mode. The keyboard keeps working, and a JOYPAD choice is left alone. The documented layout is applied the first time this happens.
One folder on Windows / Linux / Steam Deck (see above).

Fixed issues

#5: gamepads on Linux worked only on the first start. PlayStation / Switch pads show up late on Linux, and the game then fell back to keyboard for good. It now waits for a pad that was used before. Old analog joysticks without a gamepad mapping (USB adapters) work too.
#6: wheelie tyre smoke was white. It is grey again, like on 3dfx cards.
#7: the cockpit view (F6) crashed in single races and championships.

Thanks to @JohanW1977, @MatroxMystique and @Gagert for their reports and requests.

New: PSP version

Moto Racer now also runs on a real PSP (every model with custom firmware, PSP-1000 included; about 25–30 fps in races, full field of opponents, CD music). There is no PSP download, since the package contains code translated from your game: build it from the source with your GOG installer on a Mac, Linux or Windows PC (./setup.sh --psp or setup.cmd --psp) and copy it to the memory stick. See the PSP guide.
