It was originally coded having ARM CPU based devices in mind +(most work was done on GP2X version), but there is also a PSP port. + +The reason I'm sometimes doing windows versions is to show certain emulation +possibilities, first release was to demonstrate SVP emulation (Virtua Racing), +later Pico toy and X-Men 32X prototype. It is not to compete with other +emulators like Kega Fusion and the likes. + +For more info, visit http://notaz.gp2x.de/svp.php + + +Releases +-------- + +1.70 - preliminary 32X emulation, runs X-Men proto. +1.45a - Few bugfixes and additions. +1.45 - Added preliminary Sega Pico emulation. +1.40b - Perspective fix thanks to Pierpaolo Prazzoli's info. +1.40a - Tasco Deluxe's dithering fix. +1.40 - first release. + + +Controls +-------- + +These are currently hardcoded, keyboard only: + +PC Gen/MD Sega Pico +-------+-----------+--------- +Enter: Start +A: A +S: B red button +D: C pen push +TAB: (reset) +Esc: (load ROM) +Arrows: D-pad + +It is possible to change some things in config.cfg (it is created on exit), +but possibilities are limited. + + +Credits +------- + +Vast majority of code written by notaz (notasasatgmailcom). + +A lot of work on making SVP emulation happen was done by Tasco Deluxe, my +stuff is a continuation of his.
