| 5 | This version of PicoDrive is another enhanced version of Dave's\r |
| 6 | Megadrive / Genesis emulator for Pocket PC. The original Dave's code was\r |
| 7 | heavily modified (including Cyclone core), parts of it were rewritten in\r |
| 8 | asm, many features added, accuracy increased. This version is aimed at\r |
| 9 | ARM-based handheld devices, so ports exist for GP2X handheld console,\r |
| 10 | Symbian smartphones and PocketPC devices.\r |

| 13 | How to make it run\r |
| 14 | ------------------\r |
| 15 | \r |
| 16 | GP2X:\r |
| 17 | Copy PicoDrive.gpe, code940.bin and mmuhack.o to any place in your filesystem\r |
| 18 | (all 3 files must be in the same directory) and run PicoDrive.gpe.\r |
| 19 | Then load a ROM and enjoy!\r |
| 20 | \r |
| 21 | Symbian:\r |
| 22 | Select PicoDrive from application (tools) menu and run it. That's it!\r |
| 23 | \r |
| 24 | All:\r |
| 25 | If you have any problems (game does not boot, sound is glitchy, broken graphics),\r |
| 26 | make sure you enable "Accurate timing", "Emulate Z80" and then disable\r |
| 27 | "Fast renderer". This way you will get the best compatibility this emulator can\r |
| 28 | provide.\r |

| 37 | Problems / limitations\r |
| 38 | ----------------------\r |
| 39 | \r |
| 40 | * 32x, Sega CD, SVP are not emulated.\r |
| 41 | * Various VDP quirks (window bug, scroll size 2, etc.) are not emulated,\r |
| 42 | as very few games use this.\r |
| 43 | * Some games don't work or have glitches because of inaccurate timing and sync\r |
| 44 | between the emulated chips.\r |
