The six-player version of XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC for arcade X-Men vs. Street Fighter (1996): one controller per character, P1, P2 and P3 against P4, P5 and P6, each playing the character they pick through tags, Delayed Hyper Combos, snapbacks and KOs, with everything in the two-player version. RetroArch with the included six-port core, for Windows, macOS and Linux, from your own Europe 961004 xmvsf.zip.

XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC for six players v1.1.1 · Oct 12, 2026

v1.1.1's core fixes a two-player bug the six-player game never had, and the macOS launchers 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 six-port XMvsSF 3v3 + DHC RetroArch core and two launchers. Unzip it, give INSTALL (drop xmvsf.zip here).cmd your clean xmvsf.zip (Europe 961004, with xmvsf.key), plug in six controllers and start PLAY XMvsSF 3v3 6P.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.

Install RetroArch, then unzip the six-player package for your computer.
Give the installer your clean xmvsf.zip (Europe 961004); it writes the game files inside the package folder.
Plug in six controllers and start PLAY XMvsSF 3v3 6P, or the WIDE launcher; check the ports in F1 > Settings > Input.

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

The included core is v1.1.1's. Its fix is for the two-player game (LK and MK pressed on the same frame with RetroArch's SOCD option on); the six-player game reads its own input window and was never affected.
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, each pick's own player holding Start for colours 10 to 18, and HP+HK cycling through the whole team.
The included core is built from the FBNeo-xmvsf3v3 fork, tag xmvsf3v3-v1.1.1.
