Notes from StingRay, 27.07.2016
--------------------------------

I have updated the patch and made it fully 68000 compatible, this includes
quitkey support too of course. The blitter waits are now disabled on 68000
machines to avoid slow-downs.

I have also added a lot of trainer options to make the game easier.
Please note that high score saving is disabled if any trainers are used! 
If in-game keys are enabled, the following extra keys can be used:

 B: full bushido (green dragon)
 L: toggle unlimited lives
 E: toggle unlimited energy
 K: kill enemy
 F: toggle enemy freezing
 W: get all weapons
 N: skip level 
 1: add 1 life
 2: replenish energy
 3: get all objects and weapons


 There is also one more extra key that I have added, this key is always
 activated no matter if in-game keys are enabled or not. The game
 has a major bug which is triggered sometimes and results in an unplayable
 game as it is impossible to leave the screens. This is caused by a
 wrong z-position, to reset the z-position press key "R", this will fix
 the problem and you can continue the game.

 I have also added CD32/2 button joystick support, if this should cause any
 problems it can be disabled with CUSTOM3. Following buttons are supported:

 Fire2/Blue: pick up objects (major game improvement IMHO!)
      Green: select objects

 
 Other than that I have fixed the interrupts and the sound problems (caused
 by CPU dependent DMA waits as usual), added high score load/save and
 relocated the ByteKiller decruncher for faster decrunching. An error check
 has been added as well, if decrunching fails WHDLoad will quit with an
 appropriate error message.

 Enjoy the game from HD, with enabled trainers and the joypad support
 it's quite OK I think but better go and play the C64 version which is
 MUCH better.
