XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC for X-Men vs. Street Fighter

Three-on-three teams for arcade X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996): three picks per side in eighteen colours each, MP+MK and MP+HK tags to either reserve and HP+HK cycling through the team, Delayed Hyper Combos from one member's Hyper into the next, snapbacks that force the named reserve in, the arcade game's Team Hyper and Variable Counter, a three-member HUD, KO hand-offs to the third member, CPU teams of three through Apocalypse, and an optional 512x224 wide arena. Two players in RetroArch with the included core, for Windows, macOS and Linux, from your own Europe 961004 xmvsf.zip.

XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC for X-Men vs. Street Fighter v1.1.1 · Oct 12, 2026

v1.1.1 fixes LK+MK in the two-player game: with RetroArch's SOCD option on, its default, v1.1's core let one of P1's two kicks drop when both were pressed on the same frame. The macOS launchers also bring RetroArch to the front now. The game is v1.1's: eighteen colours a fighter, nine inputs each with or without Start, and HP+HK cycling through the whole team. One package per computer: the installer, the XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC RetroArch core and two launchers, one per screen. Unzip it, give INSTALL (drop xmvsf.zip here).cmd your clean xmvsf.zip (Europe 961004, with xmvsf.key), then start PLAY XMvsSF 3v3 2P.cmd or its WIDE twin. The installer writes roms/xmvsf6pd.zip and the patched files for both screens inside the package folder and never changes your ZIP. macOS and Linux: the packages below, same steps with INSTALL.command or install.sh.

Install RetroArch, then unzip the package for your computer.
Give the installer your clean xmvsf.zip (Europe 961004); it writes the game files inside the package folder.
Start PLAY XMvsSF 3v3 2P for the original screen, or the WIDE launcher for the 512x224 arena.

Patch-only and hash-gated: the installer checks your xmvsf.zip member by member against the Europe 961004 set and its key, writes three new files inside the package folder and never changes your ZIP; it refuses clones, damaged or incomplete sets, a set that is already patched, and files it would overwrite. No ROM or key is included or downloaded. The matched core is included; RetroArch is yours. Preview: every run so far is scripted with ordinary controller inputs, on the Linux core and its diagnostic build. v1.1's runs cover every colour input, timing rule and mirror on two and six players and both screens, HP+HK cycling, DHC chains and refusals, Team Hyper, the Variable Counter, six-player ownership and complete six-player arcade runs on both screens. The Windows installer's own PowerShell ran under PowerShell 7 on Linux with the same outputs and refusals as the Python installer, and the Windows core ran under Wine. v1.1.1's core plays 20,000 scripted frames identically to v1.1's with the SOCD option off, and to the driver offered to FinalBurn Neo with it on, in both games and on both screens. On a Mac, the v1.1 two-player package installed and played on the original screen. Windows PowerShell 5.1 on Windows, the other macOS runs and physical controllers are untested. The third-tag reports on v1.0.0 were fixed on the test rig but not yet confirmed by the players who sent them, and the choppy snapback switch is not changed yet.

What changed in v1.1.1

LK and MK pressed on the same frame reach the two-player game again with RetroArch's SOCD option on, its default. v1.1's core ran FinalBurn Neo's player-3 stick cleaning on the byte that holds P1's and P2's kicks, so one of P1's two kicks could drop.
The macOS launchers start RetroArch through macOS's open, in front of Terminal; before, its window stayed black until it was clicked.
The game files are v1.1's: eighteen colours per character (nine inputs, each with or without Start), HP+HK cycling through the whole team, and the packed colour table.
The included core is built from the FBNeo-xmvsf3v3 fork, tag xmvsf3v3-v1.1.1.
