Fatdog64-810 Final [17 Jan 2020]
Posted: Sun 08 Dec 2019, 15:55
PS: This thread was previously used to discuss 810 Beta. Discussion for 810 Final Release starts on page Page 9 of this thread.
The Fatdog team is pleased to release Fatdog 810 Final.
This is a maintenance release. All Fatdog 800/801/802 users are recommended to upgrade to this release where possible as it contains important fixes.
If you still run earlier Fatdog series (700 or 600), we also recommend upgrading to this version where possible. In this case, you may want to read the notes/warnings noted in Fatdog64 802/801/800 thread.
As usual Fatdog64 does not upgrade from any older version. Using a new savefile/savedir is recommended.
