5About
6-----
7
8PCSX ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork based on the PCSX-Reloaded project,
9which itself contains code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution. This
10version is ARM architecture oriented and features MIPS->ARM recompiler by
11Ari64. It was created for Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other
12devices after some code adjustments.
13
14It does not, however, have anything in common with similar psx4all and
15pcsx4all projects, except that all of these are PCSX ports.

18Usage
19-----
20
21This version features a framebuffer driven menu that can be used to run
22games and configure the emulator.
23
24Supportd CD image formats:
25- .bin/.cue
26- .bin/.toc
27- .img/.ccd/.sub
28- .mdf/.mds

34Plugins
35-------
36
37GPU (graphics) and SPU (sound) plugins can be selected in
38[BIOS/Plugins] menu:
39
40builtin_gpu - the P.E.Op.S. GPU plugin, most accurate but slow.
41gpuPCSX4ALL.so - plugin from PCSX4ALL project. Faster but has some glitches.
42gpuGLES.so - experimental port of P.E.Op.S. MesaGL plugin to OpenGL ES.
43 Occasionally faster but has lots of glitches and seems to
44 be rather unstable (may crash the system).
45builtin_spu - P.E.Op.S. SPU plugin, most accurate but slow.
46spunull.so - NULL plugin, i.e. no sound emulation.
