November 2001

So, nach SEHR langer Stille meiner seits poste ich heut mal was sich so in den letzten Zeit alles ereignet hat:

• Kawaks 1.37c

* Added more Language packs, and fixed a couple. Thanks to their authors
* Fixed Japanese text in Garou (Grant cinematic, namely)
* Fixed the most debated Close C attacks in Garou (weird bug, really)
* As for the Select key not working (supposed to be the Insert Coin when in console mode)
   this one is a total mystery. It works good in other games (try kof99), just not Garou...

neu in 1.37b:
* Hopefully fixed bug introduced in 1.37 which caused blinking borders in fullscreen
* Added Japanese, Catalan, Polish, Chinese (simplified) language packs.
    Thanks a lot to their respective authors :)

neu in 1.37:
* New drivers:
         - Garou: Mark of the Wolves               (this is the retail, non prototype game)
         - Garou: Mark of the Wolves (decrypted C) (same game as above, with decrypted GFX roms)
         - The King of Fighters 2000 (encrypted)   (this is the retail, non prototype game)
* The old "The King of Fighters 2000" set is now named "The King of Fighters 2000 (fully decrypted)"
* Direct Draw rewrite: Kawaks should run fine with DirectX 5 now (that means no more DDRAW.DLL error)
* Added a "Multitask friendly" switch (Misc menu) for those who think 1.35 was faster than 1.36
* Language pack support. Now you can have Kawaks in your mother tongue :)
   If you do your own translation consider sending it to me
* Added a hack to prevent crash while loading in kof2000n for those who still have the bad M1 rom
* Fixed columns width in Shot Factory
* Added many tracklists, courtesy of DarkCloud
