Hello, this is Arcade Patches: English restorations, enhanced editions and arcade backports of Capcom classics, for MAME, HBMAME and MiSTer.
We're starting on a big day. The Street Fighter movie is out, so here's Ultra Street Fighter II on CPS-2. 🧵
Street Fighter Alpha EX is out!
My aim was the definitive first Alpha: features from the console releases and CPS-1 Changer, brought together in the arcade game.
First release candidate, available now:

Final Fight EX (CPS-2) rc2 fixes the service switch, saved operator settings in FBNeo, and stage select reopening during attract play. It also adds separate stock MAME outputs for all three editions.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Grand Master Challenge rc4 fixes some background details Capcom never got around to fixing across nine stages.
If you’re running an older build, grab the updated kits. Full changes and download links:

The English restoration is the Japanese version in English: the Japanese disc's cutscenes, translated from the Japanese, with captions that follow the voices and mouths that move with the lines.
On MiSTer it has a new English voice track and the Sega CD's arranged soundtrack.
USA, Japan and English restoration builds, with EX settings in the test menu and a hidden stage select.
It runs in HBMAME and on MiSTer, with the CPS+ core included.

Final Fight EX is now on CPS-2.
The Sega CD port opened with an animated cutscene and closed with new ending scenes. We brought them to the arcade game, with everything from our CPS-1 version plus an English restoration: added scenes, a better translation, uncensored content. 🧵
Ultra Street Fighter II rc3 is out, with a big round of fixes.
Violent Ken's meter, six-hit sequence and dash trails. Evil Ryu's Demon finish. Corrected portraits and colors. Ryu's intro fireball. New Evil Ryu and Violent Ken ending music on MiSTer.

Also in rc3: Evil Ryu and Violent Ken in Random select, CPU opponents and attract mode after endings, stage background gaps filled in, a faster title entrance, and USA XCI support in setup.
It still builds from your own Switch files. No game data is hosted.
More this week: Street Fighter Alpha 3 English restoration rc4, Super Street Fighter II EX rc9, Grand Master Challenge rc3 and Vampire Savior Arrange rc3. Portrait and stage fixes, plus new Arrange fixes for Huitzil, Dee, Donovan and Pyron.

CPS+ and NG+ play the arranged CD-era soundtracks under the original arcade and Neo Geo games on MiSTer. And Alpha 3 Upper gets a multi-region patch for its NAOMI GD-ROM, so one disc boots on a USA or Export NAOMI.
