Super Bomberman 5 Recompiled

Super Bomberman 5 Recompiled

An unofficial, noncommercial Super Bomberman 5 PC port built with SNESRecomp and recomp-ui, following the game-repository architecture of Mega Man X Recompiled.

Download v1.1.2 · English · Português · Technical status · Contributing

Partial recompilation. Most game logic still runs on the framework's interpreter. Supply your own legally obtained ROM; no ROM, generated game code or extracted assets are distributed. v1.0.1 is the first full release: the maintainer has played the campaign through to the end on Windows.

English

Highlights

• Windows x64 setup and an experimental Linux x86_64 AppImage; the game is generated and compiled locally from your ROM.
• Launcher with PLAYER 1–5 input tabs (keyboard or gamepad per player, including several identical controllers such as two DualSense pads).
• Thirteen optional mods, all disabled by default: five-player Normal Game (with an optional corner spawn layout), character and color selection in Normal, extra characters, Super Bomberman 4 Bomber Kings, Louie improvements, PT-BR menus and more.

Install

1. Download superbomberman5-1.1.2-windows-x64.zip (Windows 10+ x64) or superbomberman5-1.1.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage (glibc 2.35+, Ubuntu 22.04 baseline) from v1.1.2 and check SHA256SUMS.
2. Windows: extract the entire ZIP into a new writable folder and open SuperBomberman5Recomp.exe. Linux: chmod +x the AppImage and run it (without FUSE, add --appimage-extract-and-run); its setup lives in ~/.local/share/superbomberman5/1.1.2.
3. Let the launcher fetch the portable build tools (internet needed once; Rust is not required), select your own ROM and choose Generate & rebuild.
4. Open Mods to enable features, configure controls and select Play.

Upgrading: install 1.1.2 into a new folder and run Generate & rebuild again; an older generated executable cannot load new native mod code. Leave several GB free.

Supported ROM

Compatibility is decided by hash, not filename. The developer's file is named Super Bomberman 5 (USA).sfc, but its header reports JPN. Other revisions and translations are not qualified. rom_identity.txt is authoritative; no ROM links are provided.

Identity	Value
Header title	Hu SUPER BOMBERMAN 5

Mods

Each setup package already includes these mods (no separate download). They can be enabled together; the full combination is not qualified.

Remap in the launcher. Each PLAYER tab chooses Keyboard or Gamepad and a device; identical controllers are listed separately (DualSense (2)). Players 3–5 start unassigned: give each its own gamepad or keys.

Build from source

Install Git for Windows and Python 3.11+, then:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/MauricioSuporte/SuperBomberman5SNESRecomp.git
cd SuperBomberman5SNESRecomp
./tools/setup-windows.ps1
./tools/build-windows.ps1 -Regenerate -Rom 'C:/roms/your-game.sfc'

Then open SuperBomberman5Recomp.exe at the repository root. Tools go to the ignored .tools/ folder. See BUILD_WINDOWS.md. Never hand-edit or commit src/gen/.

Status and limits

SNESRecomp translates analyzable 65816 routines into C and runs the rest through an interpreter, with PPU, APU, DMA and cartridge hardware modeled. AOT coverage is small and reset/NMI remain interpreted. Gameplay is verified with scripted routes on Linux LLE and maintainer play on Windows, including a full campaign playthrough; all mod combinations, physical five-player play and broad Linux compatibility are not qualified. No netplay, widescreen or macOS. Details: STATUS.md.

Open an issue with version, OS, ROM hash and steps to reproduce. Never upload the ROM, extracted assets or save states.

Destaques

• Setup Windows x64 e AppImage Linux x86_64 experimental; o jogo é gerado e compilado localmente a partir da sua ROM.
• Launcher com abas PLAYER 1–5 (teclado ou controle por jogador, inclusive vários controles iguais, como dois DualSense).
• Treze mods opcionais, desligados por padrão: Normal Game com cinco jogadores (com layout opcional de spawn nos cantos), seleção de personagem e cor no Normal, personagens extras, Reis Bomber do Super Bomberman 4, melhorias dos Louies, menus em PT-BR e mais.

Instalação

1. Baixe superbomberman5-1.1.2-windows-x64.zip (Windows 10+ x64) ou superbomberman5-1.1.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage (glibc 2.35+, base Ubuntu 22.04) na v1.1.2 e confira o SHA256SUMS.
2. Windows: extraia o ZIP inteiro numa pasta nova e gravável e abra SuperBomberman5Recomp.exe. Linux: dê chmod +x no AppImage e execute (sem FUSE, use --appimage-extract-and-run); o setup fica em ~/.local/share/superbomberman5/1.1.2.
3. Deixe o launcher baixar as ferramentas portáteis (internet só na primeira vez; Rust não é necessário), escolha sua própria ROM e clique em Generate & rebuild.
4. Abra Mods para ativar funções, configure os controles e clique em Play.

Atualizando: instale a 1.1.2 numa pasta nova e faça Generate & rebuild de novo; um executável gerado antigo não carrega o código nativo novo. Deixe alguns GB livres.

ROM compatível

A compatibilidade é definida pelo hash da tabela em Supported ROM, não pelo nome do arquivo. O arquivo do desenvolvedor tem “USA” no nome, mas o cabeçalho indica JPN. Outras revisões e traduções não foram qualificadas. Nenhuma ROM acompanha o projeto.

Mods

Todos já vêm no pacote de setup (sem download separado) e podem ser ativados juntos; a combinação completa não foi qualificada.

Controles

Setas = direcional, Enter = Start, Shift direito = Select, X/Z = A/B, S/A = X/Y, C/V = L/R. Remapeie no launcher. Cada aba PLAYER escolhe Teclado ou Gamepad e o dispositivo; controles iguais aparecem separados (DualSense (2)). P3–P5 começam sem dispositivo: dê a cada um seu próprio controle ou teclas.

Compilar

Instale Git for Windows e Python 3.11+ e execute os comandos de Build from source; depois abra SuperBomberman5Recomp.exe na raiz do repositório. Veja BUILD_WINDOWS.md e CONTRIBUTING.md.

Estado e limites

A recompilação é parcial: rotinas analisáveis viram C e o restante roda no interpretador; reset/NMI continuam interpretados. A jogabilidade é verificada com rotas roteirizadas no Linux LLE e testes do mantenedor no Windows, que já zerou a campanha; todas as combinações de mods, cinco controles físicos e compatibilidade ampla no Linux não foram qualificados. Sem netplay, widescreen ou macOS. Detalhes em STATUS.md.
