********************************
* #1# Charapter 1 - What's new *
********************************

V 00020* - We think to port SADnes DOS, to Win32, so we could use a faster API, and many other Win32 resources, such DirectX, OpenGL and Glide (lol...). At current point, it's much more faster (around 90% over the DOS Version), and using BitBlt and StrechBlt for graphics. Partial Mapper #0 support, only minor bugs.

V 0.0025.666* - Atomic Bomberman put some colors on SADnes, because BW colors, was too happy (lol). We count now with 3 colors (Black for BG, White, Blue for sprites and Graphics)

V 0.026.666* - Partial Mapper #3, Gradius, only shows a Black screen,

V 0.109.666* - Started to make DirectX 7©, support.

V 0.11 - Great News, SPEED UP: At. Bomberman finished to implement the DDraw graphics (I think so..), The emu speeds up around 40% (I think.. hohoho), Before these speed up, ran Mario Bros 1, with 3~5 frameskips to be at playable rates, Nooooow, it's too fast at 0 frameskip !! <Mental Note:> I have a fast Pentium II 400, with a D. Monster Fusion 16Mb....</Mental Note:> This Speed up, would be great for people with slow computers such Pentium 75/100 (sux).

V 0.11b2 - Added a Status Bar with the Number of Frames to skip...

V 0.11b5 - Pacman support, but with many glitchs, some new unhandled opcodes, were been added.

V 0.12* - Added Options Box, but it doesn't saves yet...

V 0.12b* - Added the "Stars" efect to the About Box

V 0.12 Criptonyta - Option Dialog available for configuring the Emu, not much for now, but something, you can configure the Frameskip, and support for Instant Redraw (recomended only for P3-500+), enabling Instant Redraw should fix the bugs with pacman ...

V 0.13 Demon Edge - SAD news, Ti-B0ne quits the project, and Aeris is on vacation, so I got 3 probs, 1st - I'm alone from now, 2nd - I'm ocupied at School, 3rd - I fuck the latest core, and had to remake many things, That's Sad... Well, but New on SadNES 32, Skin Support, now comes with 1 default skin, a bit speed up (just a little bit).

V 0.14 Earthquake* - SAD NEwS, I had to restart (once again), with old backup copies, but from now, I'll take care to not mess the code ;)) Now you can setup anything at the Options Screen, how many CPU Cycles you want to execute, Screen resolution, and as usually, Frames to Skip. ;))

V 0.15 "Bê" - This is a Special Version of SadNES 32, it's dedicated to my sweet friend "Bê", and also to my Birthday ! ;)))) (** This version was not realeased, I prefer to not talk about this version...**)

V 0.17 Moon Revenge - Hey.. I'm 17 now.. hoho.. sound the same huh?! well, This Version *fix* a bug.. Oh boy ! I can't believe I didn't saw this error before.. well, when you tried to change the skin, but doesn't changed (pressed ESC or cancel), occurred an *ERROR*, well, it's fixed now, other addition is the Snapshot suport.
