				    Blini! Release 5
				   ==================


Blini! is a powerful tool which allows you to view and to edit the bleem! ini file.
That way, you can easily edit the ini file, check for certain games and add or
delete certain games yourself. To improve blini! even more, we ask you to send us
the games you've added or just your opinion to blini@psxemu.com, so we can improve
the program and the ini even more. Thanks for your support.


Why blini!
==========

With the possibility to edit the ini file, you can remove the annoying "This game
hasn't been tested" message by adding the game to the list yourself. You can also
change wrong entries. But beware : Games which don't run are built into the exe
file so you can't change them, even when you changed it in the ini file.


Requirements
============

This program is written in Visual Basic 6. You'll need the runtime library to use it.
Get it from the official blini! homepage. You'll also need an installed bleem!
version which includes the bleem!.ini and the compatiblity.txt ! 

Blini! is compatible with any bleem! version above 1.5 ! All you really need is an 
installed bleem! version. Nothing more.


Install
=======

1) Download the latest blini! version from http://blini.psxemu.com
2) Open the file using WinZip. If you don't have WinZip yet, get it 
   from http://www.winzip.com
3) Extract the file to any directory on your HD.
4) Run the exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.


Future plans
============

- Automatic locating of the bleem!.ini and compatibility.txt
- Different translations
- Possibility to edit the compatibility.txt
- A quick edit option
- Help File
- Automatic reading of the PSX disc ID (Emulated since Release 3)
- More Speed (But i don't think, that this is possible)

The long promised features are still not included ...
-----------------------------------------------------
- INI compare function
- "Repair function" allows you to repair corrupt ini data (e.g. to find double
  entries etc.)


Version History
===============

---------
- Now you can search with wildcards (* and ?) for a game from the list.
  This means, when you're searching for the game 'WWF Smackdown', it's now enough 
  to enter '*Smackdown' into the search field - This should make it easier for
  you if you aren't sure about the internal name, the bleem!.ini may use.
- Some old links updated
- A new version of UPX is out (v1.02) and this version is compressed with it
  UPX v1.02 made by Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer & Laszlo Molnar.
