DKC1Recomp v0.0.2

This is the first native macOS release of DKC1Recomp. It is an early-development
Apple Silicon build and does not include copyrighted game data.

Highlights

• Native arm64 .app with an application icon and embedded SDL2 runtime.
• Native Game and View menus for pause/step, quick save/load, fullscreen,
  4:3 or widescreen presentation, layer isolation, and provenance overlays.
• Keyboard and SDL game-controller input, audio, save states, ROM picker, and
  macOS Application Support paths.
• Deadline-based frame pacing at the native 60.0988 Hz SNES cadence, with
  bounded re-anchoring after stalls instead of catch-up bursts.

Requirements and launch

• Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or newer.
• A user-supplied, headerless Donkey Kong Country USA v1.0 .sfc ROM. The ROM
  is selected at first launch and is never copied into the application bundle.
• Unzip the asset, then open DKC1Recomp.app.

The bundle is Developer ID signed and timestamped, but this release has not
been Apple-notarized. If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, Control-click the
app, choose Open, and confirm once.

Validation

• Built from commit 23fa62dc282f6f9e3e5fd2dae922e60be414812e.
• 205 unit and contract tests passed; one unavailable local imported-state
  fixture was skipped.
• Three independent 600-frame headless replays produced byte-identical frame,
  WRAM, VRAM, CGRAM, and OAM hashes.
• The real macOS application window, native menus, icon, ROM picker, and a
  1,200-frame pacing run were exercised before packaging.
• The packaged bundle and embedded SDL2 library pass strict deep code-signature
  verification.

This remains an early recompilation build. Boot, title flow, host integration,
and deterministic replay were validated; complete cross-layout gameplay
coverage is not yet claimed.
