Prisoner of Azkaban 0.5.2 Beta

• hppoa.exe starts on its own. Double-click it, use a shortcut, Quiver or the Barthes Launcher: the separate hppoa_launcher.exe is gone (delete it from an older install if you like). Every start writes hppoa_run.log beside the exe, with the crash report if the game crashes; send it with a problem report.
• A new icon: volume III from the Barthes Launcher's shelf, drawn for the project (no game artwork).
• Readme fixes: the Barthes Launcher download, and the settings and logs as they really are.

Beta: tested from New Game through the Hogwarts Express into the first level. Still standing entirely on MiddleDucky's Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets ports. Thank you, MiddleDucky.

Installing

The easiest way is the Barthes Launcher: it installs the build for your disc, unpacks and checks the disc, and keeps the port up to date.

By hand: download the zip for your disc (USA for the North American disc, PAL for the European one) and unzip it into a folder of its own. Make a game folder beside hppoa.exe holding your disc's extracted files (game\default.xbe; the Barthes Launcher or extract-xiso unpacks an .iso), then start hppoa.exe. Updating: unzip the new release over the old one; your hppoa.toml, saves\ and shadercache\ stay.

You need your own copy of the game. Nothing from the game is included.
