+Even though ZX-81 ported my Wiz version to Caanoo, some people kept\r
+asking me to do the port instead because of apparent sound problems,\r
+so here it is. Note that I did not use ZX-81's work for this release,\r
+because I had various changes for Pandora version and wanted to have\r
+them in, so different set of bugs then in ZX-81's version are\r
+possible. Savestates might also be incompatible.\r
+\r
+To use this, you'll first need to copy authentic GBA BIOS to gpSP\r
+directory. It must be named gba_bios.bin and should be 16kB in size.\r
+\r
+I've appended the original gpSP GP2X readme file as it contains lots\r
+of information that is still relevant for this version, as well as\r
+development history of this project.\r
