The first release of VF2-NX-Modern: a native Nintendo Switch port of Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Model 2A arcade), built by static recompilation.
Tested on hardware: locked 57.52 FPS (the Model 2 refresh rate) through full fights, including Sarah's stage.
Features
- Static recompilation: the i960 game program, the TGP geometry program and the sound 68000 program are translated to native ARM64 code.
- Accurate Model 2A timing: board timers implemented (fixes Pai's braid and slow loading).
- SCSP sound: streamed voices and effects play correctly, and the reverb DSP works (a MAME register mirroring bug that smeared the mix is fixed).
- Threaded renderer: the picture is drawn on a worker while the next frame runs; threads are pinned so sound never stalls the game.
- Arcade mono mix (default) with voices and hits +3 dB; stereo selectable in the menu.
- In-game menu (+ and - together): frame pacing, performance overlay, test/service switches, sound mix, mute.
