	. Win32 support. You need dev-c++, libSDL and libz to build gngeo32

 change in 0.7
	. GP2X/ARM Save state support for cyclone and drz80
	. GP2X: Change the exit sequence to L&R&Select or L&R&Start. Actually it's not

	. Fixed point timer in the ym2610 emulation
	. GP2X port. Read the readme.gp2x for more info

 change in 0.6.5beta
	. support for a romrc.d directory, in which you can define romrc-like
	files for each game (eg: kof2003.romrc). This makes it easier to
	release romrc sections for new games (just tell the user to download
	the file to his romrc.d dir). Eventually the big romrc file could be
	split. [Renato Sousa]
	. Add support for a special, per-game bios (eg: kof2003 has its own
	bios) in romrc and emulator [Renato Sousa]
	. remove useless patches over BIOS (bios runs cleanly now). Added code
	to select bios according to country configuration. Also load the aes
	bios if configured to run as console, but this bios is extremely
	buggy. [Renato Sousa]
	. add global configuration entries for country [Renato Sousa]
	. now the bankswitcher (memory handler for the bankswitching area) is
	selected when the CPU is initialized for a game. added an option for
	this in romrc [Renato Sousa]
	. change all long handlers code to a LONG_FETCH/LONG_STORE macro,
	since they are all similar. [Renato Sousa]
	. Explicitly size most variables, including Uintptr to an "integer of
	the size of a pointer" [Renato Sousa]
	. autodetect driver for rom, when rom has more than one driver (was
	only working for directories, not for zip files) [Renato Sousa]
	. support bios/game vector changing. Right now it saves the entire
	vector (128 bytes) to the savestate file. It could possibly be
	optimized to just save whether it is the bios or the game vector. 
	[Renato Sousa]
	. remove some code duplication [Renato Sousa]
	. support kof2003 bankswitcher [Renato Sousa]
	. Joystick Hat support [Sheng Long Gradilla]
	. romrc update.

 change in 0.6.4
	. Add support for NeoRageX style hotkeys [ Ugenn ]

 change in 0.6.3
	. Bug Fix: explicitly declare INT8,16,32 as signed
          This fix the crash on LinuxPPC [ Tatu Kilappa ]
	. Suppress some Warning [ Tatu Kilappa ]

 change in 0.6.2
	. Add support for newer BIOS
	. Use -falign instead of -malign with GCC 3.x
	. Correct a bug with command line parsing: --romrc didn't work correctly
	. Correct a bug that prevent gngeo to compile on some distribution 
	  (now use #include "SDL.h" instead of #include <SDL/SDL.h>).
	. Add mmx optimised hq2x and hq3x effects
	. Add an alternative opengl blitter (configure --enable-gl2). This blitter can
	  correct some bug with some opengl implementation (need texture size 
	  limit >256x256). This blitter seems more "stable" than the original one, 
	  but may be slower.
	. Clean up fileio.c

 change in 0.6.1
	. Add hq2x hq3x lq2x and lq3x effect.

 change in 0.6
	NOTE: You HAVE TO update your gngeorc for this release!
	. Fix a bug in game loading: "gngeo mslug" or "gngeo samsho" did not work.
	. Add scale=3 support for soft blitter.
	. Use generic optimisations for unknow platform.
	. Add overclock option. ex: "overclock 50" will overclock the 68k by 50% (18Mhz
	  instead of 12Mhz)
	. Remove the invertjoy option, and add p1joydev,p2joydev option to select the
	  joy's device for p1 and p2. ex: --p1joydev=2 tell gngeo to use /dev/js2 for
	  the player 1
	. Add the possibility to invert joystick's axes individualy (see sample_gngeorc
	  for explanation)
	. Fix some bug in save state (some old, some introduced with the last snapshot)
	. Update README
	. Only compil the gui if enabled. Side note concerning the GUI: Currently I 
	  privilege frontends integrations over native GUI. The gui complicates the
	  code and is redondant with Frontends. If someone want to continue it, he 
	  is welcome (The preferred solution is to put it out of gngeo, and make 
	  it a frontend)

 change in 20031018
	. Add per game configuration file. The conf file must be in $HOME/.gngeo/ and
	  named mame_name.cf (mame_name is the Mame name of the game, --listgame for
	  the list) ex: `echo "screen320 false" >~/.gngeo/mslug.cf` will force 
	  MetalSlug to use 304x224 mode (can be overriden on the command line).
	. Fix most of the bug with Generator68k (don't correctly set up cpu bank
	  at startup + SDIV bug)
	. Temporatly desactivate mmx scale2x (strange bug here and there when enabled)
	. Better accuracy in cycle counting.
	. Rewrite the driver part.
	. 320x224 is now the default res. Use --no-screen320 to switch back to 304x224
	. Correct some potential graphic glitch
	. Add alternate romset driver for SuperDodgeBall, Pop'nBounce and kof99
	. Change default keyboard setting to QWERTY
	. Add experimental GUI. Very crude at the moment (./configure --enable-gui)

 change in 0.5.9a:
	. Correct a stupid bug in the opengl code
	. Fix Twinkle Star Sprites
	. You can now take a screenshot with F2 (screenshots are save in BMP under your
	  home)
	. Add forcepc option to force the startup PC to a correct value. Use it if you
	  have a game that seem to freeze after loading.
	. Add --disable-i386asm option to the configure script

 change in 0.5.9:
	. The romrc file is now installed in $prefix/share/gngeo/ after a make install
	  This directory is now the default path for romset and romrc
	. Add mmx scale2x effect.
	. Add scale3x effect.
	. Add scale4x effect.
	. Correct a bug in puzzle bubble driver (update your romrc)
	. You can now pass a zip file on the command line insted of the game name.
	  gngeo will scan all the romrc file to find the suitable driver.
	  ex: > gngeo /cdrom/neogeo/rom/Blazing\ Star.zip
	      will act as 
	      > gngeo blazstar
	. Now use getopt_long for command line parsing (--help for a list).
	. Rewrite the configuration code. Now every option are available from gngeorc and
	  the command line (You have to update your gngeorc).
	. Clean up a little fileio.c and main.c
	. Add a simple inline m68k debuger (option -D).
	. Fix a dependencie bug in generator68k
	. Fix a bug in the rom loading code (prevent some crash)
	. better support for crypted rom (bankswitching and char drawing)
	  again, only mslug3n have a driver and is reported to work (freeze sometimes :(
	  (Update your romrc).
	. Initial save state support (functionnal, but some game have minor graphic/sound
	  glitch, and you can't use a save state create under a little endian machine on
	  a big endian one)
	. blitter and effect are now selected by their name (instead of number)
	  Please upgrade your gngeorc.
	. Clean up video.c (now use a template system for tile drawing function 
	  generation)
	. Add transparency pack support with raster effect enabled
	. Write i386 asm version of the raster drawing routine (todo: 25% transparency)
	. Correct some bug with the raster interrupt (ssidecki2,3,4 work correctly)
	. Add mmx interpolation code.
	. Add doublex effect. It double only the X resolution (I personaly use it with a
	  vga2tv circuit, because my card doesn't support interlace nor 320x240 pal mode,
	  so I'm stick with 640x240 resolution... More information about the circuit here:
	  http://www.priesch.at/marcus/Linux/XonTV-micro-HOWTO)

 change in 0.5.1:
	. bug fix in game loading.

	. Correct a bug that prevent sound to work with tpgolf
	. gngeo now use autoconf. installation is now done with:
	  ./configure && make && make install
	. Switch the C 68K core to the generator one. It's faster
	  than musashi
	. Optimize the memory handler of the mamez80 core.
	  this 2 points give a significant boost on non i386 platform.
	. the -f flags work correctly again.
	. correct some possible segfault here and there.
	. start to add crypted rom support (currently only mslug3n).
	  need to add bankswitch and char drawing support.

 change in 0.4.3 (unreleased):
	. Fix a bug in game loading (gngeo mslug tried to load msulgx)
	. Switch to starscream 0.26c -> slowing down bug fixed
	  ( genital68k is always available -> edit the makefile)
	. Add a C 68000 emulator (MUSASHI from Karl Stenerud)
	. Add a C z80 emulator (the z80 core of mame)
	  -> compile and work on sun sparc with solaris8 (need optimization).
