Sin and Punishment Recompiled builds on Emulation King

Sin and Punishment Recompiled v0.2.11

Sat, 07 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

for Windows, for Linux and Steam Deck

Added

Roll, Roll Left and Roll Right on the Controls tab: roll with one button instead of double tapping (for light guns with pedals and the like). Unbound at first.
A controller’s extra buttons that SDL doesn’t know as gamepad buttons can be bound, as “Button N”.
Second Player on the General tab (off by default), replacing Local Multiplayer (Mods): a second controller joins by pressing a button, with nothing to assign. Game’s 2-Player Mode brings back the game’s own 2-player mode (one player moves, the other aims and shoots); Co-op Mod gives player 2 to mods like the co-op mod (upcoming). The Controls tab is always the usual one.

Fixed

Explosion spheres at high frame rates: a new one showed up huge for a frame and shrank, and growing ones pulsed between sizes.
Widescreen: the timer could jump to a side of the HUD every other second (like in 1-2’s elevator).-

Sin and Punishment Recompiled v0.2.10

Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 +0000

for Linux and Steam Deck, for Windows

0.2.10 Beta

Added

Maximum Score, Invincible and Infinite Air Jumps on the Cheats tab, from the community’s GameShark codes. Invincible and Infinite Air Jumps work in every stage (the codes were one per stage); in the last stage Invincible keeps Earth’s health full.

Changed

Android: on a GPU that can’t run the game’s renderer (older Mali GPUs like the Mali-G52, which lack Vulkan descriptor indexing), the game says so once instead of leaving a silent black screen. The log also lists the GPU’s texture limits.

Fixed

Smooth Aiming now also works in the menus, not only in play.

Sin and Punishment Recompiled v0.2.8

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

for Linux and Steam Deck, for Windows

0.2.8 Beta

Added

Local Multiplayer (Mods) on the General tab: player 2 gets their own controller (Controls → Assign players) for mods that add a second player, like the co-op mod. (upcoming) The game itself stays one player.
For modders: snp_get_player_count and snp_get_player_pad, to read each player’s controller from a mod, and snp_set_live_reticle, which gives a mod’s crosshair Smooth Aiming like player 1’s (include/snp_mod_api.h).
For modders: recomp_printf, printing to mod_log.txt next to the game.
For modders: snp_draw_overlay, to draw from a mod after the HUD, with the mod’s own memory reachable (RT64’s extended RDRAM).

Fixed

Windows: the game could crash at start on PCs without the latest Visual C++ runtime. The zip now includes it.
Android: a black screen in play (sound and touch working) on phones whose GPU can’t pick textures per pixel, like the Mali-G52: the game’s shaders didn’t compile there. Textures that change detail level across a surface may look off on those phones.
Local multiplayer: a keyboard and mouse player now starts with your keyboard bindings instead of none, and players on controllers no longer also respond to the keyboard. Reset on a player’s keyboard profile restores the default keys.

Sin and Punishment Recompiled v0.2.9

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

for Linux and Steam Deck, for Windows

0.2.9 Beta

Added

Windows: Graphics API on the Graphics tab (Auto, D3D12 or Vulkan). Try Vulkan if the game crashes or shows nothing with D3D12; it takes effect when the game restarts.

Changed

Crash reports name the GPU, its driver and the graphics API in use.
Smooth Aiming is off by default: it now moves the reticle like the rest of the picture, which trails your aim slightly. It’s greyed out unless the Framerate is above Original, where it has no in-between frames to work in.

Fixed

Smooth Aiming had no effect while you aimed, so the reticle moved at 30 fps: it only recognised the reticle where it stood still. It now moves it smoothly between the game’s frames, with the crosshair lines kept on it.
Windows: when the graphics card’s D3D12 driver fails, the game no longer crashes on its next buffer upload, and the log says why the driver failed.
