This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind (such as PDAs, smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X of course). The critical parts (renderer, 68K and Z80 cpu interpreters) and some other random code is written in ARM asm, other code is C. The base code originates from Dave's (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville's Gens.\r

-This option is for dealing with slow SD card access in GP2X, which makes FMV games unplayable. It will allow emulator not to access SD card for longer periods of time, but it will take more time to fill the buffer.\r
+This option can prefetch more data from the CD image then requested by game (to avoid accessing card later), what can improve performance in some cases.\r
