     1.4 -Release notes for Milestone 1 ("Smoke and Mirrors")
     1.5 +Release notes for Milestone 2 
     1.6  ===================================================
     1.7  
     1.8 -This is an early development release. Most things don't work. Many things
     1.9 -that do work only do so by sheer luck. Framerates are typically 1-4 frames
    1.10 -per second on a 3Ghz P4. In short, don't expect to run any actual games on
    1.11 -it at this stage (I have not even tried, myself).
    1.12 +Please note that this is a development release - many 
    1.13 +things are not yet implemented, it's still quite slow, and not
    1.14 +particularly user-friendly. Framerates are typically 4-5 frames 
    1.15 +per second on a 3Ghz P4. If you're looking for something to just
    1.16 +play DC games, you'll probably want to wait for the next version.
    1.17  
    1.18 -Having said that, the following are known to run with at least some degree of 
    1.19 -success:
    1.20 +Having said all that, some games are known to run to at least 
    1.21 +some degree (aka everything we've tried), and most homebrew works 
    1.22 +perfectly, albeit slowly - feel free to experiment and let us 
    1.23 +know how it goes.
    1.24  
    1.25 -  * Most KOS based demos, and a number of other demos (An exact inventory of 
    1.26 -working demos is not being maintained at this stage).
    1.27 -  * The BIOS bootstrap (you can boot NRG and CDI cd-rom images)
    1.28 +Changes since Milestone 1
    1.29 +-------------------------
    1.30 +* Complete rewrite of nearly all PowerVR2 code - The M1 code was largely a
    1.31 +quick hack to get something running. It's done for real now.
    1.32 +* Initial IO event system (not widely used yet)
    1.33 +* Lots of bugfixes throughout the system
    1.34 +
    1.35 +Known issues
    1.36 +------------
    1.37 +The following are known bugs (as opposed to missing features) that will be
    1.38 +fixed in the next release, but are too large to be fixed for this version:
    1.39 +
    1.40 +* Some games experience geometry corruption of varying levels. This is
    1.41 +believed to be caused by an SH4 core bug.
    1.42 +
    1.43 +* Polygons that are partially clipped by the view frustum can be distorted
    1.44 +quite badly
    1.45  
    1.46  System requirements
    1.47  -------------------
    1.48  GTK 2.0+
    1.49  Gnome 2.0+
    1.50  ESounD 2.36+  (if you want interrupted stuttery sound[0])
    1.51 +OpenGL drivers with EXT_framebuffer_object support (any recent drivers should be
    1.52 +fine)
    1.53  GCC, Make, etc.
    1.54  
    1.55 -[0] Actually the ARM chip can be run independently, in which case the
    1.56 -performance is reasonably decent.
