  Son Shu Shi - First 100% Version                                            :
                                                                              :

  Retro-hacking work done by Orion of The Replicants                          :

: 
: Changes and improvements made to this game:
:
: - Completely remove the copy-protection and especially the checksum
:   routines
: - Add FDC/DMA and FAT12 loading support
: - Add 1.44 MB high density floppy disk support
: - Add ramdisk and hard drive loading support
: - Repack game files with UPX
: - Add a mega-trainer
: - Add support for MegaSTe, TT, Falcon and CT60 machines
: - Use improved sample replay routines (music modules and sound FX) that
:   work on Falcon and do not hang on ST in the high score screen
: - Improve the stability of the rasters in the high score screen
: - Allow the musics to be played at 50Hz, and the game frame rate to run at
:   the correct speed, on 60Hz monitors
: - Emulate the movep instruction on 68060 CPUs (CT60)
: - Open the low border (overscan) only on ST(e) machines running at 8MHz,
:   thereby avoiding a crash on faster machines.
: - Use improved ACIA/IKBD routines (keyboard/joystick) so that IKBD events
:   are no longer lost
: - Modify the game finale (special animation played when the game has been
:   finished) so that it is now possible to access the high score screen and
:   restart the game
: - Improve the blank screen routine (cleanup routine called at the end of
:   every game subprogram)
: - Fix a crash that may occur on fast machines when the scene (the
:   background) is drawn
: - Fix an out-of-bounds array access when too many objects (coins,
:   diamonds, food...) exist at the same time
: - Fix an out-of-bounds array access when too many projectiles appear
:   on the screen at the same time
: - Fix an out-of-bounds array access when 6 or more weapon bonuses
:   appear on the screen at the same time
: - Fix an underflow error that occurs in the state machine used to display
;   enemy animations

                                                                              :
  Hardware requirements:                                                      :
                                                                              :
  - The game runs on ST(e), MegaSTe, TT, Falcon and CT60 machines             :
  - It runs from floppy disks on all machines including those with only       :
    512 KB of RAM                                                             :
  - It can run from a single 1.44 MB high-density floppy disk if supported by :
    hardware, otherwise 2 standard floppies should be used                    :
  - On a machine with 1 MB of RAM or more, the first disk is preloaded in a   :
    ramdisk to improve the loading speed and avoid having to periodically     :
    swap the two floppy disks                                                 :
  - The game can run from a hard drive on a machine with 2MB of RAM or more,  :
    just copy all files present on the floppy disks into a folder on your     :
    hard drive, move SSS.PRG out of the AUTO folder and place it next to the  :
    other files                                                               :

:   UPX unpacking, multi-machines support and bug fixes
:
: - SSS_60HZ.PRG
:   A second version of the loader, identical to the one in the AUTO folder,
