| 22 | GenaDrive is a porn-star emulator, based on legendary porn star Jenna Ja... no not really.\r |
| 23 | GenaDrive (one word, capital G, capital D), is pronounced "Jen-A-Drive".\r |
| 24 | \r |
| 25 | (Think 'MegaDrive' but with 'Gen' instead of 'Meg'.)\r |

| 41 | Okay but what is it?\r |
| 42 | \r |
| 43 | GenaDrive is a partially-complete MegaDrive emulator for the XBox. It emulates the\r |
| 44 | hardware of the MegaDrive console on the XBox. Basically, it makes your XBox act like\r |
| 45 | a MegaDrive.\r |
| 46 | \r |
| 47 | It actually uses the same code-base as my Pocket PC 'PicoDrive' emulator, but instead\r |
| 48 | of an ARM-optimized 68000 emulator it uses (naturally) an Intel-optimized one - A68K\r |
| 49 | from the MAME project.\r |
| 50 | \r |
| 51 | __________________________________________________________________________________________\r |
| 52 | \r |
| 53 | How to use\r |
| 54 | \r |
| 55 | Put the emulator (default.xbe) in a directory such as e:\Emulators\GenaDrive\\r |
| 56 | Make sure there is a directory e:\Emulators\GenaDrive\Roms\r |
| 57 | Put your rom images there.\r |
| 58 | \r |
| 59 | Run GenaDrive.\r |
| 60 | If it doesn't work, try running 'xbepatch' on the XBE first to convert it to a retail XBE.\r |
| 61 | \r |
| 62 | This is minimal zip support, though there must be no other files in each zip.\r |
| 63 | \r |
| 64 | Run the emulator and you will see a list of rom images. Push up/down and press A\r |
| 65 | to select a rom image.\r |
| 66 | Click the Right thumbstick in to pause and return to the menu.\r |
| 67 | \r |
| 68 | To exit the emulator hold L and R and press Black, or press Back+Start.\r |
| 69 | \r |
| 70 | This is just an early version so there's quite a few things missing or not up to scratch,\r |
| 71 | e.g. sound, z80, joypad 2\r |
