Muscle March Recomp 0.1.0-beta.5

pre-release4 hours ago

Fifth beta of an unofficial native port of Muscle March (WiiWare) for macOS, Linux, Steam Deck
and Windows, and the first with an Android download.

You need your own copy of the game (Muscle March (USA) (WiiWare).wad) and your own Wii's
common key. No game files or keys are included or linked here.

What's new

  • Android APK. Install MuscleMarch-android.apk on an arm64 phone with Android 8 or newer. On
    the first start it asks for your WAD and your key (paste it, type it, or choose a key file such
    as keys.bin) and builds the game's files on the phone; later starts go straight to the game.
    The key is used once and not kept. The stick guides at the sides of the screen are the touch
    controls, and gamepads work as on desktop. There are no settings pages on Android yet: it plays
    with the Enhanced features. It has run on the Android emulator and one phone so far, where it
    played below full speed, so reports from more phones are very welcome.
  • Internal resolution up to 6x again (3840 x 2688, for 4K screens) on macOS, Linux and Android;
    3x stays the limit on Windows for now. Menus and the title screen keep full speed at the higher
    settings: the common ways the game sets up its pixel pipeline now each have their own small
    pixel shader. On an Apple M4 the title screen at 6x went from about 68 ms of graphics card time
    per frame to about 9 ms. The picture is unchanged.
