E:\SAVES\ODYSSEYX you can change it via the menu

- Take in-game screenshots and display them on the game selection list

- New UI feature - auto-screenshot capture mode. When enabled, the emu
will start taking screenshots at a user-defined interval. Useful for
ripping sprites/animation.

- Hardware filtering options : Point, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic

- Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then
play it back again. Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay.

- Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the
four joypad controllers.

- Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of

- Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent
directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection
list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB.
R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your
ODYSSEYX.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one
directory level.

- All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be
invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your
customized joypad mappings.

- Virtual Keyboard - go to Controller Configuration / UI Mappings to select
the button combo that will bring up the Virtual Keyboard while in-game.

- Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end
or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend
or dashboard supports this feature.)

- Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this
feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into
a new frontend, that frontend could launch ODYSSEYX and when you exit
ODYSSEYX, that frontend can be automatically reloaded.

Default ROM dir is D:\O2ROMS

Important Notes
===============

If you want to hear the voice samples for Sid the Spellbinder, then download the
sidsamples.zip file from the O2EM website noted above and put the WAV files in the
VOICE directory.

Questions? Select the HELP option from the Main Menu or go to my website, noted above,
for FAQs.

=====================
Relax Network Sharing
=====================

The relax sharing setting goes in the [GENERAL] section as follows:

rlxshare=c:\O2ROMS@192.168.123.77:1400

Replace 192.168.123.77 with your computer IP address and replace 8989 with the
port where you have Relax running.

============================
Note on Samba/NetBIOS Shares
============================

There are two INI file settings relating to Samba/NetBIOS sharing and they both
reside in the [GENERAL] section of ODYSSEYX.INI:

smbshare=smb://usernameassword@workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename
smb_nameserver=192.168.0.1

The smbshare parameter accepts many different formats. Here are the most
common:

smbshare=smb://usernameassword@workgroup/computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://usernameassword@workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://usernameassword@computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://usernameassword@computername:ip_address/sharename
smbshare=smb://workgroup/computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://workgroup:ip_address/computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://computername/sharename
smbshare=smb://computername:ip_address/sharename

Please try all of the above combinations before deciding it does not work.
Also be aware that some people have to select their SMB drive in ODYSSEYX a few
times before any files appear.

If it's still not working, then set the nameserver equal to the IP address of
the computer you are trying to reach or set it equal to your NetBIOS name server.
(If you don't know what a NetBIOS name server is, then just set it to the
IP address of the computer you are trying to reach.)

Also remember that when you make changes to ODYSSEYX.INI, you have to do a
"Force Reload of D:\*.INI" from the Configuration Menu or else the changes
you made to ODYSSEYX.INI will not be loaded.

=============
Configuration
=============

Everything can be changed from the configuration menu.

To change things like default save directory, default game directory, etc, go to
Main Menu -> Configuration -> Change Default Directories

===============
Menu Navigation
===============

Select menu options with the DPAD or with R/LTrigger. The speed of
R/LTrigger movements can be controlled by :

Configuration -> Menu Scroll Speed

There are some places where you can enter or change values. This
can usually be done in a variety of ways include DPAD Left/Right,
R/L Trigger, and L/R Thumb. Try all of them if the values are changing
too slowly.

"A" selects the highlighted choice. "B" cancels/returns.
"Y" from a file-select list will go up one directory.

================
Text File Viewer
================

DPAD Up - Up one line
DPAD Down - Down one line
DPad Left - Up one page
DPAD Right - Down one page
R Trigger - Scroll down
L Trigger - Scroll up
A - Start search
X - Continue last search
White - Top of file
Black - End of file
Y - Simulate fixed-width font
Back - Decrease width of simulated fixed-width font
Start - Increase width of simulated fixed-width font
B - Exit

=====
SKINS
=====

Instructions for making a new skin:

- Create a new directory off of your SKINS directory (default skins directory
is D:\EMUSKINS
- Place your sound/font/graphic media files in this new directory
- Load ODYSSEYX
- "Select Skin" from the main menu and select your new directory.
- Select Configuration
- select Configure Skin
- Use the menus to select your new media files and change your settings
- When you are satisfied with what you have, go back to the main menu.
- Select "Configuration"
- Select "Overwrite D:\*.ini and D:\emuskins\\<skin>\\settings.ini"
This will write the skin settings in your skin directory (if your skin
directory is on the hard drive.)
- You're done! You can package up the directory and share it with your friends.

If you wish to use sprites in your new skin, then read the following:

- Create a subdirectory off of your new skin directory called SPRITES
e.g. D:\EMUSKINS\NEWSKIN\SPRITES
- In this new SPRITES directory create a 0-based numeric directory for
each sprite you wish to make. This means that if you have 4 sprites
you wish to load, the directory names *must* be called 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Do not call them 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Do not call them 0, 3, 5, 6.
Do not call them SPRITE1, SPRITE2, SPRITE3, SPRITE4.

- Inside each of these new directories, you must place the sprite frames.
Each frame is represented by a BMP, PNG, or JPG file. The order of the
frames is given by the filenames. These filenames must also be named
with 0-based numbers. For example, 0.png, 1.png, 2.png. Look at the
sprites directory of the included default skin to see how it works.

- Do not skip numbers when naming sprite directories or sprite frame
filenames. A list of directories called 0,1,2,5,7 is *INVALID*.
Similarly, a list of files called 0.png, 1.png, 4.png, 5.png is also
*INVALID*.

Also be aware of memory constraints. Let's say you have a frame of a sprite
called 0.png. This picture file is 90 pixels wide and 130 pixels high.
This will get rounded up to a 256x256 pixel 32bit picture. This means
that it will consume 256x256x4 bytes (256KB) of memory. If your sprite has
10 frames of animation, that's around 2.5MB of memory. Keep this in mind
before you make ultra-smooth moving sprites with hundreds of frames of
animation.

You can check your available memory by going to Configuration -> Configure Skin
-> Show Available Memory

If you make/configure a skin and ODYSSEYX does not load the next time you
play it, then you need to delete the E:\SAVES\ODYSSEYX\ODYSSEYX.INI and
E:\SAVES\ODYSSEYX\SKIN_SETTINGS.INI files. ODYSSEYX should work fine again,
but you'll have to reconfigure your skin. The problem was probably
that one of your resources (like a WAV or background file) was specified
incorrectly or was never changed from the old skin. Carefully look at the
E:\SAVES\ODYSSEYX\SKIN_SETTINGS.INI file to make sure that all filenames exist
in your skin directory.

====================
Controller Remapping
====================

Configuration -> Configure Controllers

There are 32 general/all-purpose emulator "buttons" or actions. Each of these
buttons can be assigned a specific emulator action. For example, Emu Button 1
can be A, or B, or DPad Down, etc. These "emu buttons" can then be assigned
XBox triggers. For example, Emu Button 1 (which you have mapped to, for
example, A) can be triggered by XBox controller button B. The default button
mappings should provide enough information on how the system works and
how it can be used.

==========
Autofiring
==========

Configuration -> Configure Controllers -> Controller # -> Change Autofire

Each "Emu Button" can be set up for autofiring. Simply set the autofire
variable to a non-zero value. This value indicates how long the emulator
should wait before releasing and re-pressing the button. A value of 1
might be too fast to register on some games. I suggest setting it to a
number like 5 first and them fine-tuning it.

======
Combos
======

Setting up a combo can be kind of tricky because you need to know exactly
what the game expects to have happen on the joypads to execute the special
move. For example, let's say that we want to map a standard move that is
described like this :

D, DR, R, A

D = Down, DR = Down+Right, R = Right, A = A button

First, set the delay to a number like 2 or 3. Then set up the moves. In
this case, any (or none) of the following might work:

Down
Down+Right
Right
Right+A
Right

OR

Down
Down+Right
Right+A

OR

Down
Down+Right
Right
Right+A
Right+A
Right+A

You will probably need to fine-tune each combo move before it works, but
you'll soon get the hang of it.

================
MP3/M3U Playback
================

Simply select the MP3 or M3U file from the game-selection screen.

The M3U file can also just be a regular file with one songfile per line.
For example:

d:\songs\song1.mp3
e:\moresongs\song2.mp3
smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3

If you are making a playlist of songs on your SMB share, then please note
the format:

smb:\mp3s\song3.mp3

The smb:\ tells ODYSSEYX to read from your SMB shared directory. Do not
put the SMB share definition in the filename.

----------SMB shared filenames are case sensitive!!!---------

==================================================
Cheating System - How To Make Your Own Cheat Codes
==================================================

Special Note for Z26 - In many Atari 2600 games, certain important values (like
the number of lives you have, etc) are stored as a nibble value. A nibble is
half of a byte. For example, in Asteroids your number of lives and the current
direction you are pointing are stored in the same byte. (High nibble is the
number of lives and the low nibble is the direction.) When searching for cheat codes,
I would advise using *only* the "equal to" or "not equal to" options.

Just about every single port I've released has this feature, and I
occasionally hear people asking "how does it work?" This is easiest to
explain by example:

1) Start playing a game.

2) Go to Options Menu and select "Start Search for Cheat Code"

3) Go back to game and lose a life

4) Go to Options Menu and select "Continue Search For Cheat Code"

5) Select "Search For Values Less Than Before" because when you
first selected "Start Search For Cheat Codes" you had one more
life than you do now. You will see the number of matches go down.

6) If the number of matches is greater than 10, then perform actions
3, 4 and 5 continually until the number of matches is less than 10.
If you run out of lives, then just start playing the game again.
(Do not exit the emulator and select the game again - just start another
game from within the emulator.) Now you will have a full stock of lives,
which is *more* than the last time you checked your values. So when you
continue searching, you'll want to select "Search For Values Greater Than
Before." Then go through steps 3-5 over and over until you have less than
10 matches.

7) Now that you have less than 10 matches, you can add the codes to your
list. If the search narrowed the list down to 1 possible match, it
will automatically add it to your list. Now you can "List Cheat Codes"
and selectively turn on/off the cheat codes to try them out and see
which on is the right one.

Alternately, you can use the "Search For An Exact Value" option if you
already know the number you wish to change. Example:

Let's say you are playing Dragon Warrior and your character currently has
25 Hit Points. Follow these instructions:

1) Go to Options Menu and select "Start Search for Cheat Code"

2) Select "Continue Search For Cheat Code"

3) Select "Search For an Exact Value" and enter 25 as the number.
The number of matches should decrease very quickly.

4) Go back to the game and do something to change your Hit Points amount.
For example, let's say you drink a potion and your Hit Points are now 35.

5) Go to options menu and select "Continue Search For Cheat Code"

6) Select "Search For an Exact Value" and enter 35 as the number.
Chances are very good that the number of matches will be down to
one or two. Just try out the codes to see which one gives you infinite
Hit Points!

Advanced Cheat Code Usage:

Cheat codes have the following format:

TT AAAAAA VVVV

TT = Type
AAAAAA = Address
VVVV = Value

You can hand-edit the cheat codes you've created. Go to the Cheat Code list,
select a code, and select Edit. Let's say you've already created a cheat code
that keeps your hit points at 25. The last four hex digits of your code will be
0019 (which is hexidecimal for 25.) You can change the last two digits to, for
example, FF which will give you 255 hit points instead of 25. More sophisticated
codes can be made by altering the Type:

Type Table

80 - Means set the 16-bit value (0-65535) pointed to by the cheat code address
to the cheat code value.

30 - Means set the 8-bit value (0-255) pointed to by the cheat code address
to the cheat code value.

10 - Means increase the 16-bit value pointed to by the cheat code address
by the cheat code value.

11 - Means decrease the 16-bit value pointed to by the cheat code address
by the cheat code value.

20 - Means increase the 8-bit value pointed to by the cheat code address
by the cheat code value.

21 - Means decrease the 8-bit value pointed to by the cheat code address
by the cheat code value.

D0 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 16-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is equal to the cheat code value

D1 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 16-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is not equal to the cheat code value

D2 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 16-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is less than the cheat code value

D3 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 16-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is greater than the cheat code value

E0 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 8-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is equal to the cheat code value

E1 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 8-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is not equal to the cheat code value

E2 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 8-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is less than the cheat code value

E3 - Means only execute the next code in the list if the 8-bit value pointed
to by the cheat code address is greater than the cheat code value

If you are familiar with cheat codes, you'll notice that these are standard
Gameshark types. With enough experience you could make some seriously
interesting codes with this system.

For example, I played around with Super Mario Bros (NES) and found out that
address 0007EE stores the number of coins and address 0007FA is the
one's digit in the timer. Here are two codes:

E0 0007FA 03
20 0007EE 01

Those codes mean that while the ones timer digit is equal to three, increase the
number of coins by one. You won't see the coins updated on the overhead
display in the game, but if you start a game, wait until the timer one's
digit is a three and then collect a coin, you'll see that your coin value
is actually much higher than one, now. Fun useless stuff.

==================================================
Command-Line/Auto-Launching and Return to Launcher
==================================================

This section is for the developers of frontends, dashboards, etc.

ODYSSEYX can be started with parameters to automatically launch a game
at startup. Example code can be found in the custom_launch_params.cpp file.

There is also example code in that same file that will show you how to
make ODYSSEYX load your frontend/dashboard when it exits.
