Note

I, Falco Girgis, am not the author of this work. It was developed by my long-time friend and mentor growing up, Tvpselsfreak, who taught me everything I knew about programming for the Sega Dreamcast when I was just a teenager. Anton has since disappeared from the Dreamcast-scene, and nobody has been able to get into contact with him. He gave me a copy of his unreleased SHLib to use within my own engine many, many years ago, and it has served me well ever since then. I believe it would have been his wish that this work got released, so I have uploaded it to share with the community, but I do not take credit for any of it.
