AKI Launcher v0.3.2 brings an updated converter for importing community hacks: WCW Saturday Night Remastered (WrestleMania 2000) now converts, No Mercy Plus V3 entrances are fixed, and the list of tested hacks is brought up to date. The import results window is tidier too.
Update the games to v0.3.2 together with the launcher. Press U (RB) on each game card that shows "Update available". WrestleMania 2000 v0.3.2 is also what makes Prime Time Wrestling and Saturday Night's Main Event show their picture.
Fixed
- WCW Saturday Night Remastered (WrestleMania 2000) converts and plays. Before, its conversion crashed on load.
- No Mercy Plus V3: wrestlers walk down the entrance ramp properly instead of starting far away and walking in place.
- WWF Hulkamania 64 (beta) is refused at import with a note saying why, instead of building a conversion that crashes. It can't be converted yet.
- Importing a hack again after a launcher update builds it with the new converter and updates the installed conversion. Before, the launcher put the old build back.
- The import results window shows plain sentences. The technical details for a bug report sit under a collapsed Details for a bug report section, and Copy takes both.
Changed
- Tested-hack notes brought up to date:
- WWF Legends: Challenge 64: ropes, body shapes and extra attires work, and the pause screen and menu crashes are fixed. Still untested: Royal Rumble, Pay Per View and tag matches. A few of the original's codes are left out, including the main menu's selection pointers.
- Showdown 64 is now built as the full hack, ROM patch included.
- AEW 64, Lucha Underground, Some No Mercy Mod v3 and others no longer warn that codes which change the game while it runs do nothing: they have worked since 0.3.0.
- VPW64 Deluxe v1.1: its "Emulator over 64MB" build, imported on its own, is labelled Experimental like the other build.
Notes
- Imported No Mercy Plus V3 or WCW Saturday Night Remastered before? Import the hack again. The launcher builds it with the fixed converter and updates the conversion you have; your conversion saves are kept. Other hacks imported with an earlier launcher are also built again the first time you import them again, even if nothing changed for them. Undo this import on such a line removes the conversion; import the hack again to get it back.
- You need your own ROMs. The launcher and the games include nothing from any game. Conversions are built on your PC from your own ROM plus the hack you supply.
- Windows SmartScreen: the exe is unsigned, so Windows may warn on first run. Click "More info" → "Run anyway".
