SSF2T TAG for Super Street Fighter II Turbo — four players v2 · Sep 25, 2026

The SSF2T TAG RetroArch download holds everything for four players except RetroArch and your ROM: the SSF2T TAG core, the four-player installer and the PLAY SSF2T TAG 4P launcher. Put your clean ssf2t.zip next to the launcher and double-click it: it makes ssf2t4p.zip, copies the core into RetroArch and starts the game with it. The installer on its own writes ssf2t4p.zip, the name the core loads: keep it. RetroArch's own FinalBurn Neo cores, MAME and Fightcade read two players only for this game. There are no Start or Coin buttons: HP+HK joins.

Install RetroArch (retroarch.com, free).
Unzip ssf2t-tag-v2-retroarch.zip and put your clean ssf2t.zip next to PLAY SSF2T TAG 4P.cmd.
Double-click PLAY SSF2T TAG 4P.cmd. Then in RetroArch give ports 1-4 a pad each: Settings > Input > RetroPad Binds > Port N Controls > Device Index (ports 1 and 3 are a team).

Patch-only and hash-gated: it checks every member of your ssf2t.zip, never overwrites it, and refuses patched, foreign or incomplete sets (the four-player game needs all 23 ROMs). No ROM or key is included or downloaded; the core is FinalBurn Neo's, under its license, with its source changes in the download. Preview: 5 four-player scenarios pass in MAME 0.264 with the four-controller wiring and in Fightcade's FBNeo core with the four-controller profile (10 of 10). Random fights on Fightcade's core found no reset or stuck round: 8 of 8 two-player and 8 of 8 four-player runs of 60,000 frames. The Linux core loads the installer's output and passes 5 of 5 checks in a scripted libretro frontend (four RetroPads: joins, picks, tags, who drives what). RetroArch itself, the Windows core, four physical controllers, online play and Windows PowerShell 5.1 are untested.

What changed in v2

New: four players. P1 and P2 pick their team's first fighter, P3 and P4 the second; whoever picked a fighter drives it whenever it is on screen, in a Variable Cross too. Nobody on port 3 or 4: that team's first player plays both.
One download for RetroArch: ssf2t-tag-v2-retroarch.zip holds the SSF2T TAG core (Windows, Linux), the four-player installer and the PLAY SSF2T TAG 4P launcher, which makes ssf2t4p.zip from your clean ssf2t.zip, copies the core into RetroArch and starts the game with it.
No coins and no Start button: HP+HK joins a game, and challenges the CPU in the middle of a one-player game.
Stated plainly: 5 four-player scenarios, 10/10 in MAME 0.264 and Fightcade's FBNeo core with the four-controller profile, diagnostic; the Linux core passes 5/5 in a scripted libretro frontend; RetroArch itself, the Windows core and four physical controllers are untested.
