DOAXBV 0.5.1 BETA "MIXTAPE"
Fully playable, with known issues. See CHANGELOG.md for the full history.

QUICK START
1. Extract the entire ZIP into a new folder with a short path.
2. Drag your supported USA game ISO onto BuildGame.cmd.
   If Microsoft build tools are missing, accept the installation offer and
   follow Windows administrator prompts. Wait for "Setup complete".
3. Open Launcher.cmd, choose resolution, MSAA and SMAA, then press Play.
   RunGame.cmd uses the default settings instead.

REQUIREMENTS
Windows 10/11 x64, a supported USA game ISO, internet access and enough disk
space for extracted game files and compilation. Python, Capstone, Git,
CMake and extract-xiso are included. SDL3 is downloaded during setup.
Microsoft C++ tools and a Windows SDK are downloaded from Microsoft if
missing; that installation needs several GB and administrator approval.
The full Visual Studio IDE is not required.
If a restart is requested, restart Windows and run BuildGame.cmd again.
If extract-xiso reports a missing VCRUNTIME140.dll, install the included
Prerequisites/vc_redist.x86.exe and retry (it is for the 32-bit extractor).

WHAT CHANGED SINCE 0.5.0
Custom soundtracks: put MP3, WAV or FLAC files in private\UserMusic in this
folder, or press Music folder in Launcher.cmd to open it. Restart the game
and pick them in its custom soundtrack menu, such as the Radio Station
playlist. Files are only read, never changed. 0.5.0 used
private\imported-disc\disc\UserMusic; move any songs from there. Run
BuildGame.cmd with this package; saves are unchanged.

CONTROLLERS: DO NOT USE DS4WINDOWS
Connect PlayStation controllers directly and close DS4Windows (or disable
its controller output) before playing. DS4Windows adds an emulated Xbox
controller, so one pad would appear twice and take two player ports. If you
launch the game through Steam, turn Steam Input off for it.

This package contains source and setup tools. It includes no prebuilt game
runner, game files or generated game code. These are produced locally from
your ISO. Keep the folder in place after setup. Saves and logs remain under
private/. When upgrading, preserve your previous installation and saves;
saves are not imported automatically. Default game audio gain is 20%.

KNOWN ISSUES
- A second Hopping Game can be playable before loading finishes (#54).
- An upside-down map can flash when leaving the pool (#55).
- Some underwater beach textures may be missing (#56).
- PlayStation controllers have not yet been confirmed on physical hardware.
