About\r
-----\r
\r
-Ginge is an application that can run many GP2X F100/F200 games on other ARM\r
-Linux platforms, which currently includes Wiz. It is not a full hardware\r
-emulator like MAME, PicoDrive or similar, it does not emulate the CPU. It can\r
-be considered as compatibility layer similar to Wine on PC Linux, however it\r
-does emulate small portion of MMSP2 system-on-chip. It operates by hooking\r
-certain system calls and using realtime patching of code that accesses memory\r
-mapped hardware directly.\r
