X-Men vs Street Fighter PLUS is now available. This is a CPS2 quality of life mod that tries to stay as faithful to the original Arcade game as possible.
I put a lot of care into this project, and hope you enjoy it!
some of the highlights:
- Updated character select screen
- Post-KO super jumps and aerial launchers
- 12 carefully selected palettes per character
- Preview character colors before you choose
6. There are two new added dip switch options:
**RANDOM CPU COLORS** let's the CPU select all 12 colors in arcade mode. Turn it off for stock behavior of default LP/LK.
**MUSIC** lets you turn off the game's music if you want to lab to your own tracks in FBNeo or Fightcade (or in the custom build until they accept this mod).
Game speed also defaults to FREE SELECT 2 e.g. Turbo 1 & 2. Previously we would need to worry about slogging through Normal if someone accidentally selected it in a set as a default.
7. Here’s the trailer for X-Men vs Street Fighter PLUS

Grab the standalone patch or a build of FBNeo or Fightcade 2 FBN. You can also see all of the palettes interactively on this page:

Thanks for sticking around this long, and I hope I've done this game justice if you're also a fan of the original!

DREAMCOLOR PLUS GETS AN UPDATE THAT WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING ON THE DREAMCAST!
Guys, Angelo has already started shipping DreamColor Plus controllers to backers, and at the same time, he's prepared an update that absolutely blew my mind!
The controller's receiver can now provide the Dreamcast with an internet connection via Wi-Fi!
In short, with modified versions of games (which we'll make available in the future), you'll be able to play online without needing a modem, serial adapter, or any hardware modifications to your console!
And the best part? This update is already finished! Anyone receiving their DreamColor Plus will be able to try out this new feature with compatible games right away!
It's absolutely incredible what Angelo is achieving with this project!
Check out this video of him playing Phantasy Star Online using this new connection method:

Autofire detected 💀💀
cobbed together a better-cheat-detection heuristic tonight on FC2 after @liquidmetalx brought up autofire detection.
This was the result of only one match being scanned after getting tipped off by some other goated players on where to look first (😬).
Should this go further?
@liquidmetalx noticed these.
funny thing is this one is just pressing Down/Left unhumanly with perfect timing, and I don't think official firmwares with turbo mode even provide this for directions. Likely a script.
Other interesting facts doing research here:
(1) Fightcade2 does not have a threshold to even catch a standard 8BitDo firmware turbo (@ 15hz vs 20+)
(2) Directional buttons like in this example at extreme speeds doesn't trigger detection since FC2 only scans for PPP/KKK
^ second point likely because they use a very simple mechanism w no time distribution checks and only begins to flag autofire for a whole second+

Over five and a half years since its initial release, I've updated the English translation patch of "Taxi 2: The Game" on the SEGA Dreamcast to version 1.1, finally translating the last remaining French texture saying "Mauvaise Direction" with "Wrong Direction".
