V2.00 (2005-2-19)
-----
This is a major release to signalize the completion of the compatibility
project - to test all the games/demos in the GoodGBX V2.02 ROM set (over
6,000). My sincere thanks to Scott Nash.

- New Features:
  * Simulate the startup code in GB and GBC modes.
  * Automatic ignore the extra 512 bytes at the start for some badly
    dumped games. Example: Soreike! Anpanman 2 (J) [C]
- Changes:
  * Colors look more like to a real GBC.
  * The colors for GB look like to a real GB.
  * The options for changing GB palette are renamed as follows:
    ~ Default -> Classic GB
    ~ Normal  -> GB Pocket
- Bugs Fixed:
  * Screen scrolling is now less jerky (mainly on Windows port). Versatility
    (PD) runs at full speed.
  * The following games/demos have better/correct graphics:
    ~ Dark Man (the corrupted line just above the status window is removed -
      this is verified by a real GB)

      large gap)
    ~ Lunar Lander (U) (the screen will flash shortly at the title screen
      after the title has completely scrolled up. Also, the space shuttle
      and the launcher does mix together when they overlap.)

      the bear sleep, they will not flash up again after the screen fades
      out)
    ~ Pokemon Puzzle Challenge (U) [C][h1] (the colors of the characters
      are now correct again. Note that you have to force KiGB as GBC mode
      to run this game as the header is incorrectly set it as a GB game.)
    ~ Razor Freestyle Scooters (U) [C] (the lower part of the exclaimation
      mark no longer flashes just before game play)

      pipe)

      before game play and when you die)

      displayed correctly again when they are overlapped)
    ~ Tazmainan Devil - Muching Madness (U) (M5) [C][t1] (sometimes the title
      becomes garbage at the trainer screen)
    ~ To-Heart Slideshow Green and Red (PD) (no more garbage after the first
      part. However, the second option is missing.)
    ~ Torpedo Range (UE) (the lower part of the screen does not flash up just

  * The sprites drawing priority in GB mode is now correct again. Games
    affected: Lunar Lander (U), Hyper Dunk (U) and possibly a few others.
  * The sprites drawing priority in GBC mode is now correct again. You can
    really see through the wall to see the targets in the gallery when you
    move the aim on the wall in Perfect Dark (U) (M5) [C].
  * Super Ninja - a TornPocket Production (WIP) (Y2kode) (PD) [C] (when you

    the game resumes immediately.)
  * Super Scrabble (U) now works again.
  * Touch Boy System ROM (UNL) [C] now works properly.
