ConvSCD v1.10 by Michael Pavone
**************
| How To |
**************
This section will provide a basic run through on how to use the program. Fancy things
like command line switches are not described here. This guide assumes you've already
extracted all the files in the ZIP to some directory on your hard drive or received
the files unzipped.
Step 1 - Double click the convscd110.exe file
A little black window that says something along the lines of "Command Prompt" should appear.
A prompt asking for the name of the ISO to be converted should appear in this window.
Step 2 - Type the name and full path of the ISO file and hit the enter key
Example: c:\pathto\myisos\mycoolgame.iso
After you've done this a little menu of sorts will appear asking you to choose a destination
region.
Step 3 - Type the number of the region you want to convert the ISO to and press enter
That's it. ConvSCD will have created a new file for you with the converted version. The file
will be in the same directory as the original with a similar name (original name + conv + U, E,
or J depending on the destination region).
**************
| What's New |
**************
This represents a complete rewrite of the code (lost the original in a hard drive crash)
so it's a little light on the new features; however, there is a new feature in this
version. You can now enter in all the appropriate information from the command line.
Any information that you don't provide will be asked for in the usual interactive fashion.
For details on all the command line switches type convscd -h at the command prompt.
**************
| Bug Fixes |
**************
Two nasty bugs from version 1.05 have been fixed (I hope!).
- Conversion to the European region now works correctly
(the ISOs it produced used to only work in Gens not on the real hardware or Fusion)
- Japanese ISOs are now correctly identified
**************
| Notes |
**************
The switch to set the output filename is currently broken.
ConvSCD currently assumes that the input filename is 3 characters long. If it isn't the
automatic output file naming will mess up a bit.
The -f switch will allow you to force the input region. This shouldn't be needed, but I was
kicking myself for not putting it in 1.05 since it had a region detection bug. Hopefully,
all the region detection bugs have been squashed and this option will go unused.
I'll be putting up a little PHP script that will allow users to submit compatability reports.
I'm kind of annoyed at myself for never doing anything with the compatability reports people
sent in so this time I'm going to make it so I don't have to do anything with them. This
script isn't up yet, but should be within the next week or so.
There was a period of a couple months over which I didn't check my hotmail account. Since I
hadn't logged in for so long they deactivated my account and deleted all my messeges. So if
you sent me an e-mail and you haven't gotten it yet, I probably haven't been able to even read
it. Send it again and I'll actually reply this time, promise.

| To Do |
**************
- Implement BIN/CUE support
- Function to undo a conversion
