***********************************
*** Notes regarding The Xtras   ***
***********************************

Gilou created a new HD skin for 720p users.  Check it out.

Sometimes starting or getting a game going can be confusing.  Here were my observations that might be helpful.

Alot of times pressing A will get a game going.  If that dont work try Y.  Some games prefer a function key be pressed to start.  Just bring up the onscreen keyboard and select that function key.

The numbers 1-4 are mapped to the right analog pad.  1 = RA up, 2 = RA left, 3 = RA right, 4 = RA down.  0 is mapped to white.

F1-F4 are mapped to holding left trigger and the right analog pad.  F1 = LT+RA Up, F2 = LT+RA Left, F3 = LT+RA Right, F4 = LT+RA down.  F5 is mapped to black.

There are some games where you have to hold either CTRL or SHIFT to load them.  Just hold down black for these games to work.  These games are noted in the compatibility spreadsheet and the games synopsis.

*** Changes To Bluemsx Core ***
*******************************

* Emulator always remembers which Disks, Carts, and Tape are loaded on initial set-up.  That way if you do change any during gameplay it wont foobar startup when you go to play the game again.  Save states always remember the currently loaded drives anyways.  If you want to change the "initial set-up" just reconfigure the game (start by pressing X).

* Combined Change Disk, Cart, and Tape menus into one.  "Change/Rotate/View Disks, Carts, and Tapes".

* Fixed the problem with autoconfig not working for DB entries that contained more than one CRC.

* Boot Cart and Disk are no longer asked for in already configured games with a multifile zip.  If for some reason you want to change this just reconfigure the game (start by pressing X).

*************************
*** To Do For Bluemsx ***
*************************

* Find out why some translated games wont work.

* Some games (pinball) use the left shift key.  Find some way to map that key in the controller configuration screen.

* (considerations) no one ever reported back to me concerning overscan.  I was thinking of just adding in a "set overscan area" option.


******************************
*** Coming soon (or later) ***
******************************

* Multi language support.
