Changelog

Version 1.1

• Added support for JP (ULJM-05297) version of the game by hoxi.

Version 1.0

• New timing - start and final split has been altered according to the new rules. Now it even performs the final split when the credits start (you need a separate split for credits though)!
• Splitting on mission start added as well (splits when credits start as well).

Version 0.7

• Changed the way the offsets are retrieved. Now the autosplitter should support new PPSSPP releases without changing a single line of code (thanks to Parik's help).
• Added support for Japanese version.

Version 0.6.2

• Added support for PPSSPP 1.9.0 64 bit version.

Version 0.6.1

• Resetting of the needed variables is now done at the start of the timer.

Version 0.6

• Added any%.
• Added All Rampages.
• Fixed splitting on reloads (any% was affected as well as combinations of collectibles with any%).

Version 0.5

• Improved automatic timer starting.
• PPSSPP Gold support.
• Dropped support for GER since no one will run it and maintaining it would be just a waste of time.
• Still needs to start the game first in order to correctly pick up the version.

Version 0.4.1

• Hot fix for broken Mission Attempts counter on US version. GER version might be broken as well. If you have EU, skip this version. If you have US, make sure to start LiveSplit after you load the game.

Version 0.4

• Automatic timer starting after you press the X button to skip the first cutscene.
• Reworked resetting.

Version 0.3

• Added All Unique Stunt Jumps.
• Added settings so you can choose which category you want to run.
• Added option to split after every 10 popped balloons for All Red Balloons category.
• GER version is apparently supported as well (thanks Fryterp23).

Version 0.2.1

• Fixed version checking for 1.7.4 I had broken while testing other PPSSPP 1.7.x versions.

Version 0.2

• Added support for PPSSPP 1.8.0 64 bit version.
• The US version of the game works as well.

Version 0.1

• Only started out, only balloons work :)
