-PCSX-ReARMed - yet another PCSX fork
-
-http://notaz.gp2x.de/pcsx_rearmed.php
-
-
-About
------
-
-PCSX ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork based on the PCSX-Reloaded project,
-which itself contains code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution. This
-version is ARM architecture oriented and features MIPS->ARM recompiler by
-Ari64, NEON GTE code and more performance improvements. It was created for
-Pandora handheld, but should be usable on other devices after some code
-adjustments (N900 version is also available).
-
-PCSX ReARMed features GPU plugin from PCSX4ALL project.
-
-
-Usage
------
-
-This version features a framebuffer driven menu that can be used to run
-games and configure the emulator.
-
-Supported CD image formats:
-- .bin/.cue
-- .bin/.toc
-- .img/.ccd/.sub
-- .mdf/.mds
-- .Z/.Z.table
-- .bz/.bz.table
-- .ZNX/.ZNX.table (partial)
-- EBOOT.PBP (PSP, partial)
-
-CDDA (CD audio) only supported when .cue/.toc/.ccd/.mds files are present.
-There is support for redump.org .sbi files, which can be used instead of
-.sub files to save space (name it the same as .cue/.bin, just use .sbi
-extension). This is required for Libcrypt copy protected game support.
-
-The emulator can simulate BIOS, which means BIOS files are not required,
-however implementation is not complete and some games still need real BIOS
-to work. To use real BIOS, copy uncompressed BIOS files to
-[sd card]/pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/
-then select the BIOS you want to use in Options->BIOS/Plugins menu.
-
-Analog controllers are supported using nubs, but this is disabled by
-default and needs to be enabled in 'Controls' menu.
-There is also touchscreen based GunCon support, which also requires
-appropriate controller selected in controls configuration.
-
-
-Plugins
--------
-
-GPU (graphics) and SPU (sound) plugins can be selected in
-[BIOS/Plugins] menu:
-
-builtin_gpu - the P.E.Op.S. GPU plugin, most accurate but slow.
-gpuPCSX4ALL.so - plugin from PCSX4ALL project. Faster but has some glitches.
-gpuGLES.so - experimental port of P.E.Op.S. MesaGL plugin to OpenGL ES.
- Occasionally faster but has lots of glitches and seems to
- be rather unstable (may crash the system).
-builtin_spu - P.E.Op.S. SPU plugin.
-spunull.so - NULL plugin, i.e. no sound emulation.
