NM+V3B1 is set for release this month. I'll aim for around September 15th. When released, it will contain bugs, some of which are known. If we all test and report back, we should be able to locate and squash any bugs we find.

Not sure how many BETA releases there will be before the official free public release. But please don't share the BETA ROMs publicly. I would prefer only the final version be circulating around.

To avoid more unauthorized cartridge production sales, I've now included a save file requirement to validate the game. Everdrive and Emulator formats will be provided. Just drop the validated .fla file into the save folder in ED or PC.

At the time of this post, V3 BETA 1 includes the following additions since V2.1:

Editable move sets, params and CPU intelligence for the entire roster.

Roster members added. Increased to 108 selectable characters to fill all 12 stables.

Portable Tables! V1. Can’t climb on them. Only perform moves into them.

Editable Factions for tag team entrances. Need tag entrances.

Full motion tron videos. Runs at around 8fps.

Massive amount of new move selections and animations.

Editable entrance lights and pyro, some still need work.

Updated move sets for entire roster.

Increased move set options, more specials.

3D Smackdown Mall environment. Needs layering fix.

Condensed SDM roster menus to one screen (Select, Clone, Change Stable)

Wider championship belts, many need retexture.

I'm certain I'm forgetting some things. This is a massive update.

Known issues to address:

Tag Entrances still need to be activated based on Faction data. No issue here, just have to get on it.

RAM Overspill issue when starting a match around 6 times. This causes the game to crash. Working on a solution.

Most championships need remapped textures.

A few layering issues in Smackdown Mall.

Need to remove Alias text from entrances.

Need to replace all Shop unlockables. This is easy, just need to final animations, etc. So this will be the last thing to do before release.

Walking with weapons animations need to be brought back, just an oversight, no biggie.

Intro images need to be updated with new tron images. No biggie.

Need to update rumble list to include everyone, also need to update championship stories with new characters.

Again, I'm sure I'm forgetting some more info here too.

Between now and BETA 1 release, I'll do my best to squash these issues. Just remember to expect it to be incomplete.

Will the save file and game still work with retroarch?

Ricky Ashwin-Price

Ready to test the hell out of the BETA when it becomes available 👍 keep up the great work

Retro Randy Price

Tables!!!!! Forgot to mention Portable tables!!!!! This is V1 one this. Only moves into it. Can’t climb on it yet.

Retro Randy Price

I haven’t tested that. Let me know when the time comes. If there’s an issue, I’ll figure it out and get back to you.

Hawkes789

You're forgiven dude 😉 Thanks for the update. Excited af!

Frank Jaeger

Bravo, Captain. Also, glad for the anti-pirating measure, left a bad taste seeing for sale.

JB

Oh man. I can’t wait to test drive this

Hawkes789

I know you mentioned faction tag entrances. Do the regular tags come out together eg Outlaws Acolytes, Dudleys etc or is that still to be fixed?

Retro Randy Price

Factions don’t all come out together. Factions are how you set tag entrances. Like outlaws. APA, etc.

Retro Randy Price

If there’s a handicap or tag match and two members on a team are a part of the same factions, they’ll enter together based on the faction settings.

Hawkes789

Thanks, but will regular tag teams come out together? like they did in WM2000?

Retro Randy Price

In WM2K only preset teams came out together if they had the same entrance tron and music, like DX, Hardys. Regular teams slapped together like Austin and rock, don’t enter together. Preset teams were not included in NM. Factions is my way of adding the feature back and allowing the player to create and edit them.

Retro Randy Price

This also doesn’t require them to have the same entrance music and tron. They came have their own but enter with the faction music and tron only when teaming.

Hawkes789

It's ambitious fella and I like it. Do any of the preset teams come put together in V3?

Hawkes789

Ah I gotcha. So factions kinda covers all of it. Thanks!

Hungry

Will V3 include new CAW parts? I know you did a preview some time back showcasing some pieces for the new characters like Raven. Really pumped, the amount of additions and restored/revived content from prior games is astounding

Retro Randy Price

It will. The beta won’t have much more tho. The final release will have more.

Sean Dwyer

Stupid question, probably... Is this playable on emulators like Mupen64 and other N64 emulators that are not Project64? Thanks.

Sean Dwyer

Okay. Just curious, since some people, like myself, use Retro Arch/Emulation Station builds, which use Mupen64Plus to play N64 games, would it be possible to have the rom check for .srm files (it's save type) in addition to .fla? I believe it's possible to convert an .fla file to .srm, but if the NM+ rom is looking for a .fla, that likely won't work. Thanks!

Retro Randy Price

If it’s convertible it should be fine. Still need to look into it.

Sean Dwyer

That's good news. Thanks so much!

Tables? My God. I am so excited for this.

Eythyn

My God. I cannot wait to play this man!

Anthony Joseph

This is going to be INSANE. NM came out when I was 10 and I could have never imagined any of this being possible at 34. You are doing god's work for our childhood wrestling game dreams!!!

KBorg

I'm so hyped! Gonna test this on Rosalie's Mupen GUI. I'm assuming it will work because I have fla files for my other versions of No Mercy and NM Plus.
