* Speed could still use some improvement. If anyone can make the code more efficient, knows PPC assembly, or can make it faster in any way, let me know.

−* Using Save or state files from older versions may cause this version to CRASH or other strange side effects (no sound)! If you're having problems, delete your old save/state file, and/or turn off auto-load. Save/state files created/loaded with this version work fine.
+* Name patch files the same as the ROM name (except the extension) and place them in your ROM folder.
−* ROMs & saves files should be stored in '''vbagx/roms''' and '''vbagx/saves''' on the root of your SD card or USB flash drive. You can copy the '''vbagx''' directory from the archive to your support drive. Your ROMs must be in ".gba" format.

+==Network support via SMB==
+
+Using the emulator via network requires that your Wii is configured for your wireless network, and that you've set up a file share. Tutorials for setting up a file share in [http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm Windows XP] and [http://cws.internet.com/article/3592-.htm Windows Vista] are available. Using SMB support requires that you provide a username, password, share name, and IP address to log in to the file server (in settings.xml). This XML file is created for you upon first loading the emulator and entering/exiting Preferences. Here's an example snippet for your XML configuration file:
+
+ <section name="Network" description="Network Settings">
+ <setting name="smbip" value="192.168.4.19" description="Share Computer IP" />
+ <setting name="smbshare" value="wiifiles" description="Share Name" />
+ <setting name="smbuser" value="yourusername" description="Share Username" />
+ <setting name="smbpwd" value="yourpassword" description="Share Password" />
+ </section>
+
+Also be sure to mirror the required directory structure within your share folder, or change the LoadFolder and SaveFolder values in the XML file.
+
+=== Vista Support ===
+tinysmb, the library that the emulator uses, only support LM hash authentication, and not the newer NTLM. By default, LM hashes are disabled in Windows Vista. For Vista - LM hash support is turned off by default (because LM hashes are old and easy to crack). To re-enable LM hashes, and get tinysmb to work on Vista:
+* load Group Policy Editor - gpedit.msc
+* go to Computer Configuration > Local Policies > Security Options
+* change "Network security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change" to Disabled
+* change your password at least once to generate a LM hash
