+About\r
+-----\r
+\r
+This is a quick windows port of PicoDrive, a Megadrive / Genesis emulator for\r
+handheld devices. It was originally coded having ARM CPU based devices in mind\r
+(most work was done on GP2X version), but there is also a PSP port.\r
+\r
+The reason I'm sometimes doing windows versions is to show certain emulation\r
+possibilities, first release was to demonstrate SVP emulation (Virtua Racing),\r
+later Pico toy and X-Men 32X prototype. It is not to compete with other\r
+emulators like Kega Fusion and the likes.\r

+Credits\r
+-------\r
+\r
+Vast majority of code written by notaz (notasasatgmailcom).\r
+\r
+A lot of work on making SVP emulation happen was done by Tasco Deluxe, my\r
+stuff is a continuation of his. Pierpaolo Prazzoli's information and his\r
+SSP1610 disassembler in MAME code helped a lot too.\r
+\r
+The original PicoDrive was written by fDave from finalburn.com\r
+\r
+This PicoDrive version uses bits and pieces of from other projects:\r
+\r
+68k: FAME/C core, by Chui and Stéphane Dallongeville (as C68K).\r
+z80: CZ80 by Stéphane Dallongeville and modified by NJ.\r
+YM2612, SN76496 and SH2 cores: MAME devs.\r
