Virtua Fighter Remix score reader

vf-remix-rankings (v0.1) reads the arcade ranking table from the Sega Saturn backup RAM image Virtua Fighter Remix (USA).bkr. It is a C11 program with no third-party dependencies.

Build and run

make
./vf-remix-rankings
./vf-remix-rankings "Virtua Fighter Remix (USA).bkr"
./vf-remix-rankings --initials MRK
./vf-remix-rankings --version

If no path is supplied, the program looks for Virtua Fighter Remix (USA).bkr in the current directory. Scores are sorted fastest-first; rank numbers remain their positions in the complete ranking when --initials is used.

Options

-s, --save NAME       Save name (default: VF_REMIX_01)
-i, --initials NAME   Filter for three initials (case-insensitive)
    --json            JSON output (includes raw character ID)
    --csv             CSV output
    --raw             Hex dump detected score records
    --no-color        Disable terminal highlighting
-h, --help            Show help
-v, --version         Show version

Rows whose initials appear in the hardcoded user_highlights table in vf-remix-rankings.c are tinted with that entry's truecolor #RRGGBB value.

The score time is stored in centiseconds and displayed as M'SS"CC. Saturn font byte 0x40 is rendered as a period, so the stored initials YU@ display as YU.. Character IDs follow Virtua Fighter's ordering used by the game: 0 Akira, 1 Kage, 2 Jeffry, 3 Wolf, 4 Jacky, 5 Pai, 6 Lau, 7 Sarah.
