January 28th
PPC TTD has been updated to OpenTTD revision 3397.
This is a huge update to PPC TTD! New features include:
- The 640x480 TTD native screen resolution is kept intact on both the 480x640 Hi-Res PPC, and the regular 240x320 resolution PPC. To accomplish this, on the Hi-Res PPC the screen is simply rotated. On the regular PPC, the screen becomes a "viewport" and you can scroll around the 640x480 screen by tapping the edge's of the PPC screen.
- PPC TTD now supports PPC's running Windows CE 2002!
- PPC TTD has been updated to the latest stable revision of OpenTTD. This means much smoother gameplay, and all the new features of the awesome OpenTTD developers!
- With the first feature mentioned, this means no more worrying about windows within the game being the wrong size for the PPC.
- True Hi-Res support. Enjoy all the benefits of a true 640x480 game.

...As OpenTTD is being updated on a daily basis, so is PPC TTD.
You can tell what revision, and it's date, PPC TTD is based on by looking
at the top of this readme. PPC TTD strives to keep the gameplay as true to
OpenTTD/TTD as possible. Maybe even a little better. ;)
