Version History
- RC1:
- Fixed (I hope) bug that causes savegames corruptions in some cases.
- Added volume control using buttons VOL+ and VOL- (thanks to Rlyeh's minilibs).
- Reduced delays in sound effects.
- Beta 4:
- Correction of the graphic problem which corrupted posting (thank you in Willem Jan Palenstijn for the TEAM Exult), now one sees perfectly.
- Correction of a bug which empèchait the launching of Snake Isle (It A is enough to decontaminate the intros in the principal menu to be able to play).
- Addition of the support of the sound for the sound effects.
- Addition possibility of describing some characters with buttons X and Y in the screen of savestates (now one can save in individual slots in the place to use the quicksaves).
- Change of the absolute ways by the relative ones (now one can copy the Exult directory anywhere from SD, more only with the root of SD).
- Addition of the L+Joystick function which allows a slower movement of the cursor
of the mouse to use very small objects (clées, knives, rings...).
- Addition of function L+A to test the clée available ones on a door or
a closed gate (as that plus need to seek chaques clée with to see which is the maid).
- While appuiant on button CLICK of Joystick one obtains a screen with all the combinations of the buttons.
- Beta 3 (New Year's edition):
- Change of the way by defect of the files of
configuration, now one directly reads SD without writing in the NAND.
- Correction of a problem which did not let begin the play
because one could not write the name of the character. As currently there is no keyboard vituel one will always use the name "Misadventure". - Addition of the emulation of the mouse and racourcis keyboard (now one can play).
- Beta 2:
- Addition of the emulation of the keyboard in the menus,
now one can inicialiser the play without having to use Sterm.
