Hello, this is Arcade Patches: English restorations, enhanced editions and arcade backports of Capcom classics, for MAME, HBMAME and MiSTer.
We're starting on a big day. The Street Fighter movie is out, so here's Ultra Street Fighter II on CPS-2. 🧵
Vampire Savior Arrange has been updated to rc4. 🧵
It's one of the arranged editions in Capcom's 2005 PlayStation 2 Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection, and it never had an arcade release. We rebuilt it as a CPS-2 arcade game.
The Arrange needs more memory than a CPS-2 has, so it runs on CPS-2+: MiSTer with a 128 MB SDRAM module and the CPS+ core, which the kit includes, or HBMAME with the CPS+ driver. It also runs in FBNeo.

Strider EX is out!
It brings the PC Engine CD version's opening, mission briefings, boss dialogue and extended ending to the arcade game, plus its extra desert stage, with English voices and text for the first time. 🧵
USA and Japan builds. It runs in HBMAME and on MiSTer, with the Strider EX CPS+ core included.

Street Fighter Alpha EX is out!
My aim was the definitive first Alpha: features from the console releases and CPS-1 Changer, brought together in the arcade game.
First release candidate, available now:

Final Fight EX (CPS-2) rc2 fixes the service switch, saved operator settings in FBNeo, and stage select reopening during attract play. It also adds separate stock MAME outputs for all three editions.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Grand Master Challenge rc4 fixes some background details Capcom never got around to fixing across nine stages.
If you’re running an older build, grab the updated kits. Full changes and download links:

The English restoration is the Japanese version in English: the Japanese disc's cutscenes, translated from the Japanese, with captions that follow the voices and mouths that move with the lines.
On MiSTer it has a new English voice track and the Sega CD's arranged soundtrack.
USA, Japan and English restoration builds, with EX settings in the test menu and a hidden stage select.
It runs in HBMAME and on MiSTer, with the CPS+ core included.
