			Psycho Word - HD version

1) Ported to hard-disk. It now runs as a normal MSX-DOS1&2 application;
2) Fixed the bug that froze the game at the end of the 1st stage, requiring
   the player to remove the disk from the drive and insert it again after an
   error screen was shown;
3) Translated the menus and cutscenes (aka "visuals"), with multi-language
   support. To select the language, just type SETLANG at the DOS prompt (Only
   on MSX-DOS2); Only the "talkie mode" is not translated, but it is an
   alternate game mode, not the main one.
4) Changed the keys to SPACE and GRAPH (instead of SHIFT and SPACE), for
   easier keyboard play. This will also allow you to use autofire on machines
   that have this feature.

- When the "loading STARTER" message shows up, you can keep the following keys
  pressed:
	X: Reverse buttons (fire/jump)
	M: MUSIC TEST
	P: PSG mode (Turns off MSX-MUSIC)

- Game control tips:
  - Press down + B button at the same time to select your weapon;
  - To restore your energy quickly, use repeatedly the invulnerability weapon;
  - To run, release and press again the direction button quickly. Note that
    it's not 2x press as many believe. If you try a simple 2x press, it will
    sometimes work, but will fail constantly during a normal play.

On the first screen (with the ladder), press F4 to change the game mode. The
color of your character denotes the mode:

  - Orange (Power Mode): Allows you to press keys 1-9 to select the 9 psychic
    powers;
  - Blue (Maxup Mode): Unleashes more HP and ESP
  - Violet: normal game
  - Rose (Extra Mode): Press F5 for Talkie-Mode (enemies will speak if you
    touch them)

I made the HD version back in 1995, when I also translated the menus. It was
sitting forgoten, ziped on my Mac's HD until I saw the Django's translated
releases and some other posts about the game on MRC. This made me think: They
are right, that game is good and deserves a translation. I hope you enjoy
playing it.

Without these people, this project would never have been realized.

- To Rieks Warendorp Torringa, for his quick answer and detailed translations
  for the visuals-1, 2 and 3.;
- To Ricardo Bittencourt, for his japanese translation of visual-0, published
  at his website;
- To Django, for this "something must be done" attitude. That inspired me to
  get my hands on the translation project. And his Psycho World translation
  helped me a lot to gain time on finding where the original text strings
  where located;
- To Snowbro, who developed Tile Molester, used to edit the VISUAL.FNT file;
- To Dusan Vujosevic, of SuaveTech, for his 0xED hexeditor;
- To the openMSX team - keep up the good work;
- To the openMSX-Debugger team: your debugger rules! Plz ship it together with
  the emulator, so everyone can use it.  :)
- Vampier and BiFi, for proofreading the texts;
