This is a patch for THPS2 (original release) to improve its input handling as well as smooth out a few other parts of the PC port. The patch is designed to keep the game as original as possible, and leave its files unmodified.

Features and Fixes

• Replaced renderer with new bindless Vulkan renderer
• Replaced input system entirely with new, modern system using the SDL2 library
• Improved window handling allowing for custom resolutions and configurable windowing
• Game resolution is now independent from window resolution, allowing the game to run at original 240p or 480p, in addition to window size
• Replaced the gamma correction that resulted in the game looking washed out, instead using PSX-style texture color blending
• Fixed a number of rendering bugs
• Movement stick now controls menus
• Improved cursor handling, only showing it when relevant and using the system cursor to prevent latency
• Replaced configuration files with new INI-based system (see partymod.ini)
• Custom configurator program to handle new configuration files
• Fixed memory manager to prevent memory corruption and crashes related to it
• Added setting for autokick, allowing it to be turned off easily
• Fixed loading saves
