File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.00

Changes:
V1.00:  09/12/2002

    - Implemented complete Videopac+ G7400 emulation. Implemented it from
    scratch, based on the EF9340/41 datasheet (sent by Simon Scudder), on
    the technical docs made by Soeren Gust and disassembling the VP+ bios.
    You will need a Videopac+ bios image file in order to use this feature.
    You can use the -bios option to select it, rename the file to o2rom.bin,
    or select it in O2EM Launcher settings. Please note that a few O2 games
    do not work with the VP+ bios, so most likely you will need both bios
    versions to be able to run all the games. For copyright reasons these
    files are not included with O2EM, but you can find them in the Internet.
    
    - Added a default configuration file. Now you can specify your prefered
    options in a configuration file, instead of typing it every time you
    execute the emulator. The command line options override the default
    settings in the file. See O2EM.txt for more.
    
    - Extended the -s1 and -s2 switches to allow customizable keys with the
    joystick emulation. Based on a patch written by Zimmerman that
    implemented customizable keys it in a different way. See O2EM.txt for
    more.
    
    - Added support to the Four in 1 Row game.
    
    - Added the -exrom switch to enable the use of a special ROM mapping mode.
    See O2EM.txt for more.

    - Improved the sound with Frogger and Popeye.

    - Minor fixes.
