Changes:

While scrolling up/down, accidently pressing left/right diagonals will not exit menu/play song. (This is how the XMB is normally supposed to be.)

OpenBOR (Open Beats of Rage) is an open source engine to play Beats of Rage.

Beats of Rage is a freeware open source video game and moddable game engine made by Senile Team ( http://www.senileteam.com/beatsofrage.html ) and inspired by Sega’s classic Streets of Rage series. The term “moddable” means that the program allows users to create their own content, and thus their own beat-’em-up game, which is then called a “mod”.

Beats of Rage was first made available for download November 2003. It was not advertised in any way other than by word of mouth, yet it soon gained enormous popularity. OpenBOR is now managed by the guys at Lava Lit.

Thanks to www.tehskeen.com for the news.

Download from Lava-Lit (requires registration) – the PDRoms archive will update again with one of the next releases.

Scramble Patcher allows people to patch the VSH modules with a scramble, without flashing or rescrambling the module. It makes the turnaround times from testing offsets and preparing much shorter.
