29th September 2008

PocketVZ now supports

- Disk drive
- Cassette interface. VZ programs can be loaded or saved by mapping to wav files.  Wav files created by PocketVZ can be loaded directly into a real VZ200 from the device, by plugging the red "ear" jack into the pocket pc headphone jack, and playing the wav file from Windows Media Player
- Printer output redirects to a user defined TXT file
- Extended graphics hardware mods, both the Australian and German version
- User preferences can be set from a dialog
- Cycle accurate screen rendering, "split screen"  programs can be run

Initial version
===========
