History

Version 1.5: (28.03.01)
added support for audio tracks as MP3s. Just copy them to the folder where the ISO image (ISO boot mode) or the game data files (folder boot mode) is/are in (requested by Daniel Seitz, Mirko Nueshusen, Ed Martin, Guy Foke, Timm Gutzscher, Diego Gutt, Dave Longstedt, Sven Klein)
added support for ISO images (supported ISO formats: Mode1/2352, Mode2/2352, Mode2/2336 and of course standard 2048 sector sized ISOs) (requested by Ed Martin, Daniel Seitz, Jochen Hinkel, Steffen Schmitt, Diego Gutt, Mirko Nueshusen and many many others!)
added support to boot CD32/CDTV games from folders on your hard drive (requested by Ed Martin)
some GUI fixes
added speed boot
added slider to configure sound buffer settings (requested by Shane R. Monroe)
Spherical Worlds CD32 & Diggers 2 - Extractors (provided by Tomaso Greco) now supported
new CDTV games supported: Advanced Military Systems (provided by Ed Martin), Fun School 3, Guy Spy, The Curse Of Ra, The Illustrated Works Of Shakespeare, Winzer (provided by Bobbi, Iddod...whatever)
for your perfect gaming pleasure: I removed manual code protection for Alien Breed 3D, Speris Legacy and Worms; noone really needs or wants this any more
fixed some audio cd playback issues (Skeleton Krew, Universe, Lotus Trilogy)
fixed some Joypad problems (reported by Shane R. Monroe)
fixed some games (by emulating the CD_ADDFRAMEINT command correctly) (reported by Shane R. Monroe and Tobias Bauer)
adapted the new WinUAE to work with Akiko

Version 1.4: (21.02.01)
added possibility to boot any CD32/CDTV game you like using a standard booting procedure which works in nearly 90% of the cases so there should be slim to none games which Akiko does not run (requested by many people)
you can define your own screen modes now so Akiko appears in the resolution you want it to appear (requested by Ed Martin and Diego Gutt)
frames can be skipped now (speeds up the emulation, requested by Marcin Kowalski)
WinUAE's JIT compiler can be activated now (requested by Jochen Hinkel, Steffen Schmitt & Dave Longstedt)
emulation-audio synchronization can be turned off now (requested by Sascha Haas & Sven Klein)

Version 1.3: (12.02.01)
updated the GUI so you can make use of all options now! Have a look in the "Other" section for some special extended rom stuff
CDTV preferences work also now
added possibility to use the other rom applications in the CD32 rom which are the language selector and the nv ram editor
CDTV CD audio player works now
CD32 CD audio player works now
added support for the CDTV extended rom; Akiko can also show now the CDTV boot up intro during the boot process
added support for the CD32 extended roms (CD32 kickstart and extended rom); Akiko is now able to display different animations from the original Amiga CD32 during the boot process of a game. A lot of resourcing was necessary to figure out how those roms cooperate and how the anim is displayed but it works now!
fixed CD audio for Defender Of The Crown 1 + 2 and Legends
fixed The Guiness Disc Of Records 2nd Edition

Version 1.2: (06.02.01)
more speed...I restructured Akiko to leave more cpu power to WinUAE (games run ~20% faster now)
added language emulation for CDTV (try running Defender of the Crown 2 now with different language options....surprise!)
Akiko _REQUIRES_ now a custom version of WinUAE because I changed quite many things so it does no longer without my WinUAE patches; before a game is booted Akiko will first check now if my custom version of WinUAE is present
added a NVRam editor which allows the user to maintain his saved games in a nice way; the editor is also capable of patching save games and it can also lock, import and export them! (so you can spread your save games and other people can use them also)
added language emulation; the CD32 will be configured to the language you select in the settings dialog
added sexy nonvolatile memory (nvram) emulation which runs independent from dos so it works even if the cpu is kicked in supervisor mode which is done quite often
all Joypad buttons can be configured now by the user
Power Drive works now
Simon the Sorcerer talks now
Zool and Soccer Kid play the 3D/cartoon animations now correctly
Microcosm works now (!!!)
Battletoads, Last Ninja 3, Myth support Joypad emulation now
rewrote Chuck Rock patch; loads faster now and the Joypad is correctly emulated
