Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Ninja Master: a native reimplementation in Rust and SDL2 for Windows, Linux, and macOS that loads the graphics, music, and stages from your own cartridge at startup. It’s not a recomp or a decomp, and the author presents it as a work-in-progress port: all seven rounds are reachable, but movement, enemies, and sound can differ from the original, and a full playthrough isn’t guaranteed. It adds true widescreen, rebindable controls, eight save slots, and optional CRT effects.

You needYour own dump of the 1993 US cartridge (MPR-15674-F): a plain 1 MiB .bin with CRC32 5381506f. The European and Japanese (The Super Shinobi II) versions, and modified or interleaved images, aren’t accepted.
