# DHC V11 release notes

Candidate SHA256: `74e061e2e90f594f406f64735e07fdc9795321ef90e6f6f8978f69db48266b08`.

V11 adds eighteen color choices, six native match-report pages and focused DHC repairs. Classic and REMIX retain three bars; ARCADE keeps the original rules. Original artwork, palette credits, site styling and labeled v8 videos remain.

- Colors 1–9 keep the six attack buttons plus LP+LK, MP+MK and HP+HK. Hold Start with the same input for colors 10–18. The three-frame paired-button buffer remains. Reveal secret fighters with their native codes first. ARCADE retains its native P/K colors.
- Overview, Offense, Damage, Defense, Team & Resources and Moments use native gold lettering, cyan borders and filled black panels. Damage Leader measures damage; team combos remain team facts. Ties, N/A, partial coverage and caps remain explicit. Either human can press Start to skip.
- Removes the custom 20-hit DHC admission gate while preserving native command, ownership, meter, chain and cleanup protections. The incoming partner uses the selected native Hyper.
- Retains Classic/REMIX, last-fighter X-Factor, RV/GWM exclusions, Jin stacking and the four eligible resurrection fighters. The native wait and palette paths have source/CPU review and current native checks.

## Verified locally, with limits

The exact build is accepted for the requested ROM-free community package. Eight scoped native MAME 0.287 evidence gates cover activation, sustained movement, expiry and following-match cleanup. Moving RES/XF reach 2,100 native ticks with zero lost callbacks or original producer misses. The raw XF callback audit remains FAIL with 54 differences; completed gameplay endpoints and all 1,801 consumed sprite lists have separate PASS scopes. This is not a universal no-slowdown or host-FPS claim.

All five functional cases pass. Independent Happy Birthday damage is 58 = ledger 58, and root reviewed six native report pages. All eighteen 732-frame motion windows retain complete native PCM. Current feature clips, the fresh Soul Eraser→selected Ryu route, three 1× editorial reels and comparison07 have verified source/lossless contracts. The full trailer remains a separate presentation render.

The consumer matrix records 63 semantic passes, two observation-only taunt cases and one preserved P2-assist strict snapshot failure. A separate actual cleanup return clears maps and restores registers/SR; universal IRQ reader authority remains unverified. Assist/observation footage is excluded from accepted public assets.

Native Windows, other cores/hardware, controllers/netplay, a full manual Mac ladder and subjective listening remain community tests. Audio acceptance covers native PCM format, mapping and retention only. Hulk/Gamma, Mega Man/Roll, guard-reentry, broader breaker/route and P2 resurrection-burst/AI cases retain the explicit limits in ACCEPTANCE.md and the bound gap matrix. No universal repair, complete scoring or all-roster/form claim is made.
