Animatch GP32
=============

Release : 0.2
Date : 2009-06-29

/!\ As you can see, it's a first release. I've done many tests and it seems to
    work not so bad, but somes bugs may remains ! 


About
=====

Here's a GP32 version based on Animatch 1.2 for GP2x. It requires the Fenix
runtime environement, which is also included in this archive. The original game
uses a lot of graphism and sound media which doesn't fit in the GP32 memory, so
I had to remove them. Some bitmaps are also generated during the execution,
which means that the system will crash if there's not enough free memory.

Here's a quick list of the things that I've removed :
- all music tracks (some fat .ogg files not supported on GP32)
- all soundfx (sad, but not enough memory and the game was unstable if present)
- some ingame background (9 on the original, 4 in this one)
- transparency effect (alpha isn't supported at all on GP32)
- some mouse gesture (useless for this GP32 port)

I thinck that's all... so the game stay fully playable ! :)


Installation
============

All the needed files are stored in the "smc" direcotry of this archive.

1°) Copy the Fenix runtime "GPSYS/FENIX.RTE" to the GPSYS directory of your
    smc. If you have a BLU+, you can use FENIX.BLU. In this case, simply
    rename FENIX.BLU to FENIX.RTE !
    
2°) Copy the "GPMM/ANIMATCH.FXE" file to the GPMM directory of your smc.

3°) Copy the "GPMM/ANIMATCH" directory to the GPMM directory of your smc.

4°) Launch... and play !


Credits
=======

All the credits goes to Ruckage, the original developper Animatch, who did
released the source with the GP2x version (http://www.muddymonkey.co.uk/), 
and to the author(s) of Fenix (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fenix/) and its
GP32 port (sorry, I don't know who did it... but I think it's based on the
Chui's Dreamcast port of Fenix).
I only had to tweak some things to make it work. I hope you'll enjoy this great
game... and don't forget : GP32's still alive !
