PC Port of Final Fight

[bulbousbeard]

This is a beta of a native PC port of Final Fight written from scratch in C++. It has the following features:

* Supports any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, ultrawide, 1:1)
* Refresh rate independent so it can play at 60hz or a silky smooth 240hz
* Up to 10 players at once
* Up to 7.1 sound support
* You can select CPS1, X68000, Roland MT-32, or Sega CD sound tracks
* Every player can select the same character
* No friendly fire
* Many new abilities for Haggar, Cody, and Guy such as air pile drivers, charging attacks, knock back attacks, wall jumping off enemies, etc.
* All enemies in the game are playable as well as the heroes (not all enemies are done yet; Guy, Haggar, Cody, Damnd, Andore, Abigail, Rolento, Sodom, and Belger are the farthest along)
* Endless stages
* Backgrounds significantly enhanced to have 8+ layers of parallax
* Runs at native CPS1 resolutions on CRTs and even a native 16:9 mode at its native resolution on 16:9 CRTs if you have a GroovyMAME capable setup

This was an experiment to get a feel for dynamically generating game levels for different aspect ratios. This is what it looks like to give you an idea:

It's also done by someone who has no idea what he's talking about on FF and games in general. This rom hack is highly recommended!

Rom hacks are lame.

I can play the superior, autism-free version on MAME.

One problem I can see with what you've made is that the playable character is now over equipped whilst keeping the enemy posing the same challenge more or less as before. More so if you consider the expanded multi player option available. It's porn 100% which isn't a bad thing at all, but it isn't a game made in the spirit of the original, which through constraint created balance, challenge and deep satisfaction. What you offer is a different brand of satisfaction.

Be it through merit or error what the original ended up becoming due to relative limitations in moveset and enemy behaviour is a masterpiece of a game and an interactive experience like no other since or before. There's no tweaking perfection, Final Fight as it is, is Final Fight and there's nothing more to say about that.
In my opinion of course

Rewrites the entire game in C++ but too dumb to remember he already fucking posted this. Kinda like a retard who memorises the phone book but can't tie his shoelaces.

Lame is nothing to do it. At least we have more hbmame games on it.

I wish i could able to play the bad guys on Final Fight for example "J" playable.
