+ISO files can also be .cso compressed or zipped (but not mp3 files, as they\r

Incorrectly named/missing mp3s may also be the cause.\r
* Sega/Mega CD: If the background music is missing, you might have named your\r
MP3s incorrectly. Read "How to run Sega/Mega CD games" section again.\r
-* Sega/Mega CD: If the game music plays too fast or too slow, you have encoded\r
- your MP3s incorrectly. You will have to re-encode and/or resample them.\r
+* Sega/Mega CD: If the game music plays too fast/too slow/out of sync, you have\r
+ encoded your MP3s incorrectly. You will have to re-encode and/or resample them.\r
PicoDrive is not a mp3 player, so all mp3s MUST be encoded at 44.1kHz stereo.\r
Badly encoded mp3s can cause various kind of problems, like noises, incorrect\r
playback speeds, not repeating music or even prevent game from starting.\r
+ Some games (like Snatcher) may hang in certain scenes because of this.\r
+ Some mp3 rippers/encoders remove silence and beginning/end of audio tracks,\r
+ what causes audio desyncs and/or mentioned problems.\r
* Sega/Mega CD: If your games hangs at the BIOS screen (with planets shown),\r
you may be using a bad BIOS dump. Try another from a different source.\r
* Some Sega/Mega CD games don't use Z80 for anything, but they leave it active,\r

This option allows to switch between 16bit and 8bit renderers. The 8bit one is\r
a bit faster for some games, but not much, because colors still need to be\r
converted to 16bit, as this is what Gizmondo requires. It also introduces\r
graphics problems for some games, so it's best to use 16bit one.\r

Changelog\r
---------\r
+1.35b\r
+ * PSP: mp3 code should no longer fail on 1.5 firmware.\r
+ + PSP: added gamma adjustment option.\r
+ + Added .cso format support. Useful for non-FMV games.\r
+ * Fixed a sram bug in memhandlers (fixes Shining in the Darkness saves).\r
+ * PSP: fixed another bug in memhanlers, which crashed the emu for some games\r
+ (like NBA Jam).\r
+\r
+1.35a\r
+ * PSP: fixed a bug which prevented to load any ROMs after testing the BIOS.\r
+ * PSP: fixed incorrect CZ80 memory map setup, which caused Z80 crashes and\r
+ graphics corruption in EU Mega CD model1 BIOS menus.\r
+ + PSP: added additional "set to 4:3 scaled" display option for convenience.\r
+ + Added an option to disable frame limitter (works only with non-auto frameskip).\r
+\r
1.35\r
+ PSP port added. Lots of new code for it. Integrated modified FAME/C, CZ80 cores.\r
+ Some minor generic optimizations.\r
