 == What does it do? ==
-It's a harness to run code written for the [[https://www.arduboy.com|Arduboy]] in Visual C++ 2005. It fakes the Arduboy API (Based on V1.2 of the Arduboy library) so I can test and debug my stuff in my favorite development environment.  The identical code can then be run on the real Arduboy.

   * Replace ardu_main.cpp with the contents of your .ino file. Delete your .ino file, you won't need it anymore, Arduboy.ino will be used instead
   * Rename begin() and loop() to main_being() and main_loop()
+  * Disable precompiled headers for your added files in VC++ (Select the .cpp files you added, right click and choose properties, set configuration to All Configurations, then under C/C++->Precompiled Headers, set Create/Use Precompiled Header to "Not using Precompiled Headers")
   * You can now try compiling.  Likely it will fail with a bunch of errors because Visual C++ isn't automatically creating function declarations like the Arduino IDE does - it's just a normal .cpp file.  Create your own (example: void myfunction();) and paste them at the top of the .cpp or in its .h file.
   * Your thing might run now!  If not, it's probably because of something I'm not simulating yet and you'll have to add it

   * Maybe there is a better way than the dummy .ino file calling main_begin() and main_loop(), dunno, but this does work.
   * Most code is copied from the Arduboy & Arduino projects and not mine. Feel free to use/steal any the stuff I wrote in the ArduboySim or /shared/Arduboy directory trees as needed.
+  * Why am I still using VC++ 2005? I dunno, I just like the IDE more than the 2015 version and use it when I can. VC++ 2015 should work too but you'd have to update the solution file, I didn't try it
+  * I made a [[http://community.arduboy.com/t/proton-arduboy-simulator-for-windows-visual-c-2005/1476|thread on arduboy.com]] if you have a question or comment about this
+-- Updates/Changes
+  * June 2nd 2016:  Now plays simple tones (to use, Switch build to "SDL Debug GL", you'll need SDL 2 libs), display more accurately simulated, supports HTML5 web version, just run /html5/build_release.bat to make it. ([[proton:html5_setup|More info on HTML5 setup]])
+  * June 7th 2016: Can now compile both arduboylib 1.1 and 1.2 code, 1.1 is now default and ardubreakout was changed to the 1.1 version. Should define RT_ARDU_DEV_BRANCH for 1.2 code, will fix timing to match 1.2
+  * June 8th 2016: Landscape mode support: ArduboySim's App.cpp adjusted, uncomment #define RT_ARDU_LANDSCAPE and you can play sideways
