added a the "disable lighting" option for the kyro v1.73 build (175) - added a the "KYRO zbuffer/stencil fix" option for the kyro, because it only upports the D3DFMT_D24X4S4 format, not the usual D3DFMT_D24S8 v1.74 build (177) - improved the "NOLF2 texture/ib fix", because if an issue with the final dx9 release and/or the catalyst 3.0 drivers - remove stuttering should now work with NOLF2 and this option - fixed some other issues, forget some "testing code" in the last release v2.0 build (200) -
