It is time to submit yet another version of the suffering Russian-Soviet emulator Drimkasta Demul.

I hope you have waited this just as we are. The same would have liked that the new version lives up your hopes, as well as ours. After a year and a half develop again became quite active phase, so this is not the latest version for this year. I do not want to disappoint you, but it is still far from final and ideal solution. Much work, but because now emulators Drima already quite a lot, including actively developing, is where to draw ideas and what to strive.

It was agreed to build this audience for its comprehensive testing, as the bug is still left quite a lot, you should at least know where they occur. So the main page emulator is not updated, release spread here in the form of bare without soprovodilovki and additional. The main functions and operating principles remain unchanged from previous versions, all features described in the Old readme.txt. Of innovations can be identified only:

In most notably: BIOS files are now directly from romseta MAME and must lie in a folder in the files ROMS DC.ZIP, as in most mothers.
The kernel has been rewritten several times, that was some advance work (especially at Core2Duo).
In connection with the above earned games for WinCE. True, not all and not completely.
Sound transformed anew, for the time being tested at the games, he sounds almost perfect.
Without any changes managed to combine the strengths in one emulator two systems at once: in fact, by itself автомат Drimkast and Naomiarcade based on it.
Now it is possible to change the region stations directly from the menu emulator, respectively, the need for change biosa and flash-file with him entirely disappears.
A small korektirovka processing peaks triangles gave correction nektoryh problems on maps Nvidia c driver OpenGL (see Sonic 2).
By trifles corrected some old bugs (but not all).

Slightly more details on the above:

WinCE works only in the mode Intepreter, so quite slow and not always bezglyuchno. As soon as the realization of MMU will be combined with dynamic rekompilyatorom, it will be possible to talk about a certain playability, but not earlier.
BORG speed the withdrawal of personnel, as before, working through plug-GPU option, although not quite perfect, if you need it. GPU little rewriting, so much emulation disperse it still will not give.
The sound is so perfect in its mass, how bad in some places. Because we tested at this time, some games not to reproduce the sounds of strikes, and additional rounds. I hope with your help we can find more such problems, locate them and correct. This requires simply tell us about possible mistakes to make the sound, and the work of emulation in general. I recall that GPU remained the same, so that part bOlshaya graphic bugs remained on the ground, so do not be quick to shout about the fact that you have something does not work, perhaps we already know what´s wrong and are working on the problem.
Of the currently available at the time available for Roma Naomi, supported only options in the form of ROMov, and only those who have a standard controller. Mahjong and fishing has not worked because neemuliruemosti management. Viruta strayker also showed lack of willingness to work, so not much radio. To start the game, must be standardized romsety naomi of MAME, together with packaging biosov ROMS in a folder in the main directory emulator. I would like to note that available in the files romsete naomi, few are working. The vast majority indicated as NO_DUMP and instead file contains garbage-filler. So do not be quick to complain that you can not run. Dopodlinno know that the work Cosmic Smash and Toy Fighter.

Even I could have forgotten something. As the repository moved a couple of times, a complete list of changes could be traced vryadli. When will reach their hands to upgrade ofsayta, will be updated documentation, a list of changes and compatibility lists. You need support as always, patience and willingness to test the current version, reporting on all the gaps, you have found.

Here it is, finally, the "full" release of Project4, its almost killed me (or my testers have almost killed me) getting it released, but its done - finally!

It now sports a few minor application extras, such as a calendar, calculator, stopwatch, all of which are still pretty basic and no doubt buggy - these I plan on updating properly in the future, for now they are there simply as a base to work upon later.

The major updates for this version come in usability, and user friendliness. The first update is a new easier to read configuration file, which now supports comments and more options, this gives an easier and more varied look for Project4, by simply changing icon placement or colours, and theres no more in depth thinking as to which part you are editing, the information is all there in the file.
The next thing is shortcut buttons, a file located in flash1:/P4/ can be used to link programs to buttons (and I may hazard a guess to say files too, but I've not tested), meaning if you want to have something like iRShell on there for loading the web browser or whatever, you can simply press the key combo and its launched.
The main update though, the one thats driven me over the barrier of insanity and back into sanity in a full circle... plugin support of files. This expands Project4's usage far beyond its original capabilities, simply editing the shortcut file in flash1:/P4/ will allow a program to load a file thus supporting any file that can be used by another application, its still not working how I wanted it working, because some files will not be opened by the application, I am currently looking into possible ways to fix it.

Theres also some nice graphic changes, namely in EBOOT loading, in old versions you just got the "Request" menu screen, in this version it will strip out the background image and icon image of the application, and blit it to the screen giving you a far better sense of what it is you're loading. This has caused some minor problems with loading odd files, in some cases it causes the system to crash (I'm not sure if this is just my PSP or others as well, had no reports and a lot gets corrupted on my card whilst testing), if this is the case loading the file while pressing the left shoulder button will bypass this.

I've added a new version format, theres some minor significance behind the numbers chosen and maybe the keen eyed and nerdy type will see what it is

Finally, I hate to have to do it again, but recently my computer died a painful death of an overdose of BSoD'ing, and even my Linux partition isn't doing so well, meaning theres a hardware issue, and my laptop is not having much better luck either, its taking multiple times to boot it and a lot of the hardware is failing, I've been looking into getting a new computer but after spending all my cash and donations on my holiday to Scotland (all packed and ready to go). So I'm asking again for donations this time towards a new competent computer, I had hoped mine would last until I got a job, unfortunatly I doubt this will be the case... A recap of rewards from donations:
£0.01+ - A personal e-mail (no automatted crap)
£1.50+ - A mention in the next readme
£2.50+ - A mention in Project4's about page
£5.00+ - Access to Project4's pre-release board where "beta" builds of the actual release get uploaded giving you the ability to get Project4 updates before official release and help towards testing.
