v1.5.0 — The Community Update

Photo Mode, achievements, PlayStation prompts, in-game PC settings, friend invitations and built-in release updates arrive on Windows in one major update.

Download and install

Players: download Install-Table-Tennis.exe. Open it, choose your own supported USA/Europe retail Xbox 360 Table Tennis ISO, select your installation folder and click Install. The installer handles the build components and creates a desktop shortcut. Keep the ISO available while playing.

Updating from v1.1.2 or earlier? Run the new installer with the same ISO and installation folder. Saves and existing settings are retained. This is the first public release with the built-in updater; future signed releases can be installed after you approve them in the launcher or PC SETTINGS.

The first installation downloads components and compiles locally, so allow time and several GB of free space. Windows 10/11 x64, an AVX2 CPU and a DirectX 12 GPU are required. The installer is unsigned; Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. Release-manifest signatures do not replace Windows code signing.

What's new

• Photo Mode: freeze an offline match with F9 or both stick clicks, move a free camera, change camera height and movement speed, and zoom from 0.5× to 5× using the D-pad, mouse wheel or Page Up/Down. Save clean PNG screenshots without the help overlay, including 4K/ultrawide captures. Controller and keyboard/mouse controls are supported.
• Achievements: local tracking for all 29 achievements, styled unlock popups, optional sounds and a full achievement list under EXTRAS > ACHIEVEMENTS, F7 or hold View/Back.
• Xbox and PlayStation prompts: automatic controller detection or a manual choice, including additional menu, dialog, HUD, training, trigger and shoulder-button artwork. Custom PC menus and Photo Mode use the selected symbols too.
• In-game PC SETTINGS: available from main-menu and pause-menu OPTIONS. Change fullscreen, the timing window, button prompts and achievement sound immediately; resolution, anti-aliasing and filtering are clearly marked when a restart is needed.
• Friend invitations — experimental: Host & copy invitation starts your private relay in the background; your friend pastes the invitation and selects Join invitation. Includes private rooms, player names, release/engine compatibility checks and a UDP connection test. Independently compiled copies of the same release can connect. No central public server or Xbox LIVE account is required. ONLINE / SYSTEM LINK are enabled only when you opt in.
• Optional UPnP — experimental and OFF by default: explicit host permission is required. Requests short, verified, renewable port leases, refuses permanent rules and attempts removal when hosting ends. Creation, renewal, removal and expiry were checked on the maintainer's router. Router/CGNAT limitations still apply; LAN/shared VPN and manual port forwarding are alternatives. Windows firewall/security settings are not changed.
• Approved release updates: background notifications, manual checks, signed metadata and checksum verification, local rebuilding from your ISO, backups and interrupted-update recovery. Nothing installs without your approval; startup checks can be disabled.
• PC polish: compact square-cornered panels, subtle transparency, centered button lettering and action labels, a slimmer selection highlight, proper launcher scrollbar spacing and automatic mouse-cursor hiding after two seconds of inactivity.

Also included

• Up to 4K output, increased internal 3D rendering scale and 21:9 ultrawide camera support with correctly proportioned menus and score HUD.
• FXAA / FXAA Extreme, FSR, CAS and bilinear filtering options.
• The improved 60 FPS frame scheduler, late-frame recovery and a separate F10 timing/graph window that avoids keeping the in-game overlay repainting. 120/144/240 FPS gameplay is not unlocked; those retained selections are paced at 60 to preserve game speed.
• Immediate startup-intro dismissal, a smooth loading transition, visible first-run save prompts and QUIT TO DESKTOP as the final main-menu entry.

Multiplayer scope

Two-PC private-match testing is user-confirmed working, and the release passes 72 automated checks including native networking, ISO startup, updater integrity/recovery and screenshot output. Internet/NAT combinations need broader testing. Spectating and reconnect paths are ported but not fully validated. Original Xbox LIVE, ranked services and leaderboards are unavailable. Photo Mode is disabled during network sessions.

Share invitations with trusted friends: multiplayer traffic is unencrypted. The host relay has room/client limits, return-path checks and traffic bounds, but these are not a guarantee against hostile peers or faulty router firmware. See the repository's online and security review reports.
