ues remain.

What's new in 0.9.6

audio issues

Status
-----Code is a bit of a mess and it's not fully functional yet, I still need to imple
ment
some functions and add a upnp lib(really important for people with routers).
I did test it with some games(emulator <-> real psp with the server running loca
lly)
and it's looking good:

* Worms Open Warfare: Ran just fine, I was able to play a whole match without pr
oblems
* Monster Hunter Freedom Unite: Runs fine too. Gathering Hall and embarking on q
uests works
* Dissidia Duodecim 012: Doesn't work. It requires some functions that I haven't
implemented
yet. Also, it uses a port < 1000 and thats reserved for admin apps on linux, run
ning the emu
as sudo "solves" it, but it's far from ideal.
* Pacman World Rally: Works too.
Update (Kyhel) :
--------------* Now compiles on both Mac OSX and Windows. For more details on how to play and
build

* Got it tested windows <-> mac osx <-> psp, it works
* Monster Hunter 3rd HD works too, as well as God Eater Burst.
