Notes for the V1.2 update:
--------------------------

This update was a lot of work! I have completely rewritten the patch
for both versions of the game (OCS and AGA) from scratch. The annoying
bug in the main menu has been fixed, it can now be controlled properly.
If you want to play a game with 2 players, you can use the option to enable
joystick 1 in the main menu. I have also added a lot of trainer options
and highscore load/save. Highscore saving will be disabled if any of the
trainer options are used.
Support for the CD32 joypad has been added as well, if enabled, following
buttons are supported:

       REVERSE: volume down
       FORWARD: volume up
        YELLOW: show help
  GREEN/FIRE 2: select weapon
          BLUE: jump
          PLAY: enable pause (any other button to continue game)

If the CUSTOM5 tooltype is used, the green and blue/fire 2 buttons are
swapped.
