PROJECT CUGA 0.1.4 - WINDOWS x64 PORTABLE TEST BUILD

1. Extract this entire ZIP to a writable local folder. Do not run inside the ZIP.
2. Double-click Cuga.exe. Keep the DLLs and overlays folder beside it.
3. Choose the ISO from your own MHP2G / ULJM05500 copy, prepared with the
   FUComplete patch version matching this build. No game files are included.
   The setup prepares EBOOT.ELF locally and can copy the ISO into data/.
4. For FUComplete, copy its required FUCDAT support folder from your own patch
   setup into data/ms0/PSP/SAVEDATA/FUCDAT before playing. It is not bundled here.
   Import your own hunter save through System > Import save if desired.

Alternative for an existing prepared installation: create game/ beside Cuga.exe
and put your own matching disc.iso and EBOOT.ELF there, with your own ms0/
memory stick folder. Then double-click Cuga.exe. Never share those game files.

LOADOUTS ARE NOT YET FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
Saving/loading/restocking loadouts is experimental. Check your pouch manually
and keep a save backup. Do not rely on loadouts for automatic item preparation.

Requirements: 64-bit Windows 10/11, a Vulkan-capable GPU and up-to-date driver.
SDL3, FFmpeg and the app-local Visual C++ runtime DLLs are included. No compiler,
SDK or emulator is needed. Only ULJM05500/FUComplete has been exercised here;
other executable versions/regions are not verified.

Esc (or L3+R3) opens the Cuga menu. Optional conveniences are under QOL.
Cloud saves begin disconnected: choose your own shared cloud document in System.
Play on one device at a time and let your provider finish syncing before switching.
Optional quest/shop/map/restock/loadout QOL features start disabled.
Online play starts disabled, with no configured nickname/server or reused MAC.
This is an experimental test build, not a claim of full game/device compatibility.

portable.txt keeps Cuga's settings and installed game data under data/.
With the alternative game/ layout, hunter saves stay under game/ms0/PSP/SAVEDATA.
Do not run from Program Files or another read-only folder. Keep data/ and game/
when updating. To uninstall, back up those folders first, then remove this app folder.
If a window does not appear or rendering fails, inspect log.txt and lower graphics
settings or update the GPU driver. Redact personal paths before sharing logs.

HD TEXTURES
Supports user-supplied PNG and Basis KTX2 textures, including Zstandard compression.
Legacy quick hashes and UTF-8 BOM textures.ini files are supported.
Extract the texture pack first. In Video > Import texture pack, choose the
folder containing textures.ini (the Main folder for the base Kaneda pack).
Use the mapping for MHP2G/FUC ULJM05500. The pack itself is not bundled.
