-\r
-About\r
------\r
-\r
-#ifdef PSP\r
-This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis emulator for PSP, but with\r
-Sega CD / Mega CD support. Although it has been originally written having\r
-ARM CPU based devices in mind, it has now been ported to PSP too, by\r
-replacing ARM specific parts with portable C code.\r
-The base code originates from Dave's (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for\r
-Pocket PC. The Sega/Mega CD code is roughly based on Stephane Dallongeville's\r
-Gens.\r
-#else\r
-This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS\r
-emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind\r
-(such as PDAs, smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X and Gizmondo\r
-of course).\r
-The emulator is heavily optimized for ARM, features assembly cores for\r
-68k, Z80 and VDP chip emulation, also has dynamic recompilers for SH2 and\r
-SSP16 (for 32X and SVP emulation). It was started by Dave (aka fdave,\r
-finalburn author) as basic Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Pocket PC,\r
-then taken over by notaz and developed primarily for GPH devices.\r
-#endif\r
-\r
-PicoDrive is the first emulator ever to properly emulate Virtua Racing and\r
-it's SVP chip.\r
-\r
-\r
-How to make it run\r
-------------------\r
-\r
-#ifdef GP2X\r
-Extract all files to some directory on your SD and run PicoDrive.gpe from your\r
-GP2X/Wiz/Caanoo menu. The same .gpe supports GP2X F100/F200, Wiz and Caanoo,\r
-there is no need to use separate versions.\r
-Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped.\r
-Sega/Mega CD images can be in ISO/CSO+MP3/WAV or CUE+BIN formats (read below\r
-for more details).\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef GIZ\r
-First make sure you have homebrew-enabled Service Pack installed. Then copy\r
-PicoDrive.exe and KGSDK.dll to any place in your filesystem (both files must\r
-be in the same directory) and run PicoDrive.exe using the launcher of your choice\r
-(some of them might require renaming PicoDrive.exe to Autorun.exe, placing it in\r
-the root of SD, etc). Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be placed anywhere, can\r
-be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped (one ROM per zip).\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef PSP\r
-If you are running a custom firmware, just copy the whole PicoDrive directory to\r
-/PSP/GAME or /PSP/GAMEXXX directory in your memory stick (it shouldn't matter\r
-which one GAME* directory to use).\r
-\r
-If you are on 1.5, there is a separate KXploited version for it.\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef UIQ\r
-Copy SIS and some ROMs to any directory in your memory stick, and install the SIS.\r
-Then load a ROM and enjoy! ROMs can be in .smd or .bin format and can be zipped.\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef PANDORA\r
-Just copy the .pnd to <sd card>/pandora/menu or <sd card>/pandora/desktop.\r
-#endif\r
-#ifndef UIQ\r
-\r
-This emulator has lots of options with various tweaks (for improved speed mostly),\r
-but it should have best compatibility in it's default config. If suddently you\r
-start getting glitches or change something and forget what, use "Restore defaults"\r
-option.\r
-#endif\r
-\r
-\r
-How to run Sega/Mega CD games\r
------------------------------\r
-\r
-To play any game, you need BIOS files. These files must be copied to\r
-#ifdef UIQ\r
-D:\other\PicoDrive\ directory.\r
-#else\r
-#ifdef PANDORA\r
-<sd card>/pandora/appdata/PicoDrive/ directory\r
-(if you run PicoDrive once it will create that directory for you).\r
-#else\r
-the same directory as PicoDrive files.\r
-#endif\r
-#endif\r
-Files can be named as follows:\r
-\r
-US: us_scd1_9210.bin us_scd2_9306.bin SegaCDBIOS9303.bin\r
-EU: eu_mcd1_9210.bin eu_mcd2_9303.bin eu_mcd2_9306.bin\r
-JP: jp_mcd1_9112.bin jp_mcd1_9111.bin\r
-these files can also be zipped.\r
-\r
-The game must be dumped to ISO/CSO+MP3/WAV or CUE+BIN format. When using\r
-CUE/BIN, you must load .cue file from the menu, or else the emu will not find\r
-audio tracks.\r
-CUE/BIN usually takes a lot of space, so it can be converted to cue/cso/mp3 by\r
-#ifdef PANDORA\r
-using bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, which can be downloaded from:\r
-http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/misc/bin_to_cso_mp3.zip\r
-See readme in the bin_to_cso_mp3/ directory for details.\r
-#else\r
-using bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, which is included with the emulator. See readme in\r
-the bin_to_cso_mp3/ directory for details.\r
-#endif\r
-\r
-ISO+mp3 files can be named similarly as for other emus.\r
-Here are some examples:\r
-\r
-SonicCD.iso data track\r
-SonicCD_02.mp3 audio track 1 (CD track 2)\r
-SonicCD_03.mp3\r
-...\r
-\r
-Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 01.iso\r
-Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 02.mp3\r
-Sonic the Hedgehog CD (US) - Track 03.mp3\r
-...\r
-\r
-In case there is a .cue file with properly specified files names in it,\r
-file naming doesn't matter. Just be sure to load .cue from the menu.\r
-\r
-It is very important to have the MP3s encoded at 44kHz sample rate and they\r
-must be stereo, or else they will play too fast/slow or won't play at all.\r
-Be sure NOT to use anything but classic mp3 format (don't use things like\r
-mp3pro).\r
-\r
-ISO files can also be .cso compressed or zipped (but not mp3 files, as they\r
-are already compressed). CSO will cause slightly longer loading times, and\r
-is not very good for FMV games. Zipping ISOs is not recommended, as it will\r
-cause very long (several minute) loading times, and make some games\r
-unplayable. File naming is similar as with uncompressed ISOs.\r
-Example:\r
-\r
-SonicCD.cso data track\r
-SonicCD_02.mp3 audio track 1 (CD track 2)\r
-SonicCD_03.mp3\r
-...\r
-\r
-\r
-Other important stuff\r
----------------------\r
-\r
-* Sega/Mega CD: If the game hangs after Sega logo, you may need to enable\r
- "better sync" and/or "Scale/Rot. fx" options, found in "Sega/Mega CD options"\r
- submenu, and then reset the game. Some other games may also require\r
- "CDDA audio" and "PCM audio" to be enabled to work (enabled by default).\r
- Incorrectly named/missing mp3s may also be the cause.\r
-* Sega/Mega CD: If the background music is missing, you might have named your\r
- MP3s incorrectly. Read "How to run Sega/Mega CD games" section again.\r
-* Sega/Mega CD: If the game music plays too fast/too slow/out of sync, you have\r
- encoded your MP3s incorrectly. You will have to re-encode and/or resample them.\r
- PicoDrive is not a mp3 player, so all mp3s MUST be encoded at 44.1kHz stereo.\r
- Badly encoded mp3s can cause various kind of problems, like noises, incorrect\r
- playback speeds, not repeating music or even prevent game from starting.\r
- Some games (like Snatcher) may hang in certain scenes because of this.\r
- Some mp3 rippers/encoders remove silence and beginning/end of audio tracks,\r
- what causes audio desyncs and/or mentioned problems.\r
- If you have cue/bin rip, you can use the bin_to_cso_mp3 tool (included with\r
- the emulator) to make a proper iso/mp3 rip.\r
-* Sega/Mega CD: If your games hangs at the BIOS screen (with planets shown),\r
- you may be using a bad BIOS dump. Try another from a different source.\r
-* Some Sega/Mega CD games don't use Z80 for anything, but they leave it active,\r
- so disabling Z80 manually (in advanced options) improves performance.\r
-* Use lower bitrate for better performance (96 or 128kbps CBRs recommended).\r
-#ifdef GP2X\r
-* GP2X F100/F200: When you use both GP2X CPUs, keep in mind that you can't\r
- overclock as high as when using ARM920 only. For example my GP2X when run\r
- singlecore can reach 280MHz, but with both cores it's about 250MHz. When\r
- overclocked too much, it may start hanging and producing random noise, or\r
- causing ARM940 crashes ("940 crashed" message displayed).\r
-* GP2X F100/F200: Due to internal implementation mp3s must not be larger that\r
- 12MB (12582912 bytes). Larger mp3s will not be fully loaded.\r

-\r
-@@0. "Frameskip"\r
-How many frames to skip rendering before displaying another.\r
-"Auto" is recommended.\r
-\r
-@@0. "Region"\r
-This option lets you force the game to think it is running on machine from the\r
-specified region, or just to set autodetection order. Also affects Sega/Mega CD.\r
-\r
-@@0. "Show FPS"\r
-Self-explanatory. Format is XX/YY, where XX is the number of rendered frames and\r
-YY is the number of emulated frames per second.\r
-\r
-@@0. "Enable sound"\r
-Does what it says. You must enable at least YM2612 or SN76496 (in advanced options,\r

-\r
-#ifdef GP2X\r
-@@0. "GP2X CPU clocks"\r
-Here you can change clocks of both GP2X's CPUs. Larger values increase performance.\r
-There is no separate option for the second CPU because both CPUs use the same clock\r

-which is much faster. But because of the way it works it can't render any\r
-mid-frame image changes (raster effects), so it is useful only with some games.\r
-\r
-Other two are accurate line-based renderers. The 8bit is faster but does not\r
-run well with some games like Street Racer.\r
-\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef GIZ\r
-This option allows to switch between 16bit and 8bit renderers. The 8bit one is\r
-a bit faster for some games, but not much, because colors still need to be\r
-converted to 16bit, as this is what Gizmondo requires. It also introduces\r
-graphics problems for some games, so it's best to use 16bit one.\r
-\r
-#endif\r
-#ifdef PSP\r
-This option allows to switch between fast and accurate renderers. The fast one\r
-is much faster, because it draws the whole frame at a time, instead of doing it\r

-Changelog\r
----------\r
-1.80\r
- + Added Caanoo support. Now the GP2X binary supports GP2X F100/F200, Wiz\r
- and Caanoo. Lots of internal refactoring to support this.\r
- + Enabled 32X and SMS code. It's still unfinished but better release something\r
- now than wait even more (it has been in development for more then a year now\r
- due to various other projects or simply lack of time).\r
- + Pandora: added hardware scaler support, including ability to resize the\r
- layer and control filtering.\r
- + GP2X: Added basic line-doubling vertical scaling option.\r
- * Changed the way keys are bound, no need to unbind old one any more.\r
- * Handle MP3s with ID3 tags better (some MP3s with ID3 did not play).\r
- * Improved shadow/hilight color levels.\r
- * Fixed broken cheat support.\r
-\r

- again). Be sure to keep "ReadAhead buffer" OFF to avoid slowdowns.\r
- + PicoDrive now comes with a game config file for some games which need\r
- special settings, so they should now work out-of-the-box. More games will\r
- be added with later updates.\r

-\r
-0.94\r
- + Added GP2X port.\r
- * Improved interrupt timing, Mazin Saga and Burning Force now works.\r
- * Rewritten renderer code to better suit GP2X, should be faster on other\r
- ports too.\r
- + Added support for banking used by 12-in-1 and 4-in-1 ROMs (thanks Haze).\r
- + Added some protection device faking, used by some unlicensed games like\r
- Super Bubble Bobble, King of Fighters, Elf Wor, ... (thanks to Haze again)\r
- + Added primitive Virtua Racing SVP faking, so menus can be seen now.\r
-\r
-0.93\r
- * Fixed a problem with P900/P910 key configuration in FC mode.\r
- * Improved shadow/hilight mode emulation. Still not perfect, but should be\r
- enough for most games.\r
- + Save state slots added.\r
- + Region selector added.\r
-\r
-0.92\r
- VDP changes:\r
- * VDP emulation is now more accurate (fixes flickering in Chase HQ II,\r
- Super Hang-On and some other problems in other games).\r
- * HV counter emulation is now much more accurate. Fixes the Asterix games,\r
- line in Road Rash 3, etc.\r
- * Minor sprite and layer scroll masking bugs fixed.\r
- + Added partial interlace mode renderer (Sonic 2 vs mode)\r
- * Fixed a crash in both renderers when certain size window layers were used.\r
- + Added emulation of shadow/hilight operator sprites. Other shadow/hilight\r
- effects are still unemulated.\r
- + Sprite emulation is more accurate, sprite limit is emulated.\r
- + Added "accurate sprites" option, which always draws sprites in correct\r
- order and emulates sprite collision bit, but is significantly slower.\r
-\r
- Emulation changes:\r
- * Improved interrupt handling, added deferred interrupt emulation\r
- (Lemmings, etc).\r
- + Added serial EEPROM SRAM support (Wonder Boy in Monster World,\r
- Megaman - The Wily Wars and many EA sports games like NBA Jam).\r
- + Implemented ROM banking for Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers\r
- * Updated to the latest version of DrZ80 core, integrated memory handlers\r
- in it for better performance. A noticeable performance increase, but save\r
- states may not work from the previous version (you can only use them with\r
- sound disabled in that case).\r
- + SRAM word read handler was using incorrect byte order, fixed.\r
-\r
- Changes in Cyclone 0.0086:\r
- + Added missing CHK opcode handler (used by SeaQuest DSV).\r
- + Added missing TAS opcode handler (Gargoyles,Bubba N Stix,...). As in real genesis,\r
- memory write-back phase is ignored (but can be enabled in config.h if needed).\r
- + Added missing NBCD and TRAPV opcode handlers.\r
- + Added missing addressing mode for CMP/EOR.\r
- + Added some minor optimizations.\r

-\r
-0.80\r
- * Nearly all VDP code was rewritten in ARM asm. Gives ~10-25% performance\r
- increase (depends on game).\r
- * Optimized 32-column renderer not to render tiles offscreen, games which\r
- use 32-column display (like Shining Force) run ~50% faster.\r
- + Added new "Alternative renderer", which gives another ~30-45% performance\r
- increase (in addition to mentioned above), but works only with some games,\r
- because it is missing some features (it uses tile-based rendering\r
- instead of default line-based and disables H-ints).\r
- + Added "fit2" display mode for all FC gamers. It always uses 208x146 for\r
- P800 and 208x208 for all other phones.\r
- + Added volume control for Motorolas (experimental).\r
-\r
- VDP changes:\r
- + Added support for vertical window (used by Vapor Trail, Mercs, GRIND\r
- Stormer and others).\r
- + Added sprite masking (hiding), adds some speed.\r
- + Added preliminary H counter emulation. Comix Zone and Sonic 3D Blast\r
- special stage are now playable.\r
- + Added column based vertical scrolling (Gunstar Heroes battleship level,\r
- Sonic and Knuckles lava boss, etc).\r
-\r
- Emulation changes:\r
- + Re-added and improved Z80 faking when Z80 is disabled. Many games now can\r
- be played without enabling Z80 (Lost Vikings, Syndicate, etc), but some\r
- still need it (International Superstar Soccer Deluxe).\r
- * Improved ym2612 timers, Outrun music plays at correct speed, voices in\r
- Earthworm Jim play better, more games play sound.\r
- * I/O registers now remember their values (needed for Pirates! Gold)\r
- + Added support for 6 button pad.\r
-\r
- Changes in Cyclone 0.0083wip:\r
- + Added missing CHK opcode (used by SeaQuest DSV).\r
- + Added missing TAS opcode (Gargoyles). As in real genesis, write-back phase\r
- is ignored (but is enabled for other systems).\r
-\r
- Backported stuff from Snes9x:\r
- * Fixed Pxxx jog up/down which were not working in game.\r
- + Added an option to gzip save states to save space.\r
- + The emulator now pauses whenever it is loosing focus, so it will now pause\r
- when alarm/ponecall/battery low/... windows come up.\r
- - Removed 'pause on phonecall' feature, as it is no longer needed.\r
- + Video fix for asian A1000s.\r
-\r
-0.70\r
- * Started using tools from "Symbian GCC Improvement Project", which give\r
- considerable speed increase (~4fps in "center 90" mode).\r
- * Rewrote some drawing routines in ARM assembly (gives ~6 more fps in\r
- "center 90" mode).\r
- * Minor improvement to 0 and 180 "fit" modes. Now they look slightly better\r
- and are faster.\r
- * Minor stability improvements (emulator is less likely to crash).\r
- + Added some background for OSD text for better readability.\r
- + Added Pal/NTSC detection. This is needed for proper sound speed.\r
- + Implemented Reesy's DrZ80 Z80 emu. Made some changes to it with hope to make\r
- it faster.\r
- + Implemented ym2612 emu from the MAME project. Runs well but sometimes sounds\r
- a bit weird. Could be a little faster, so made some changes too.\r
- + Implemented SN76489 emu from the MAME project.\r
- + Added two separate sound output methods (mediaserver and cmaudiofb) with\r
- autodetection (needs testing).\r
- * Fixed VDP DMA fill emulation (as described in Charles MacDonald's docs),\r
- fixes Contra and some other games.\r
