Version 0.5 = Initial public release.
Version 0.6 = Fixed bug where starting number of lives may not have worked.


Note that SoulStar (Sega CD) runs fine on Kega Fusion emulator (and maybe others) but I had problems running it on Gens (wouldn't go past the first level).  Probably best to make sure "Perfect Sync" is checked if your emulator has it.

What this program does... 

Once it verifies that you have the correct bin/img file, it will do a second check to make sure you have the file from the correct region (this game was made for four different regions).

The program will patch your SoulStar (Sega CD) bin/img file with whichever cheats you choose. 
 
You can choose from several different cheat options (they are explained pretty well in the program).

With the "Aim Assist" cheats, if you check all 4 boxes, you will hit any enemies or targets on the screen, no matter where you're aiming when you shoot.  I have the Aim Assist separated into 4 different cheats, in case you only want a little help when you're shooting.

You can turn any of the cheats off just by running the program again and unchecking the cheats you don't want and then patching the file.  You can also return your bin/img file to it's original/unmodified state just by running the program and making sure all of the cheats are unchecked, and then patching the file. 

The program will ask you if you want to overwrite the original file before it patches it.  It will not make a copy of the original.  As mentioned above, if you want to restore your original file, run the program, make sure all cheats are unchecked, then patch the file.

This program works with .bin and .img Sega CD files.  I've read that there are ".iso" type Sega CD files, but I couldn't find any on the internet to test, so I don't know if they will work with this program.  If you have an .iso file and can't find a .bin or .img type, you can always try changing the .iso file extension to .bin and see if the program will accept it.  If it does, try patching it with your cheats and then changing the extension back to .iso and see if it works.

Shouldn't need any additional files if you're using Windows.  Editor uses the .net framework.
