=============================================================================

READ THIS... BEFORE YOU EMAIL-ME...

1. Many games do not work correctly... mainly because bad dumps, mostly with
junk in the header.

2. I cannot teach you using RockNES X (it's so easy!!!!!)

3. Do not ask me for ROMs, games... anything like that.

4. Do not send me anyting before asking me if I really want to receive that.

5. The sound is not well emulated... In some systems... it works just FINE!
   But in others the sound is not good enough.
   I'm improving the sound, and it will be fully fixed in the next releases.

=============================================================================

WHAT'S NEW:

Version 1.0

-RockNES X released!
-RockNES 1.03 DOS-version compliant

This is the first release of the new RockNES X emulator. A lot of work is
needed, so do not expect an incredible emulator... it is the first release!

Joystick and 2-player support, as well more compatible sound emulation are
under development. Some optimizations can be made, so future releases will
be much faster (and better!) than now.

==============================================================================

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

DirectX 7
Pentium-class processor
A good (fast!) videocard

My system is a PII-300, 128M RAM, Viper 770 videocard, Live! soundcard.
It runs perfect at 640x480, stretched mode, frameskip 1
or 320x240, stretched mode, frameskip 0

==============================================================================

HOW TO USE

Just run ROCKNES X and try... it's so easy!
When the game starts, the keys are:

F1: Help!
F2: Save game
F3: Change slot
F4: Load Game
F5: Reset
F9: Start/Stop movie recording
F10: Start/Stop movie playing
Enter: Start Button
Left Shift: Select Button
Z, X keys: A and B buttons
+ (numpad): add frameskip
- (numpad): subtract frameskip

 note: the config file (rockconfig.dat) is generated when you run rocknes X by
 first time .OR. when the file is not found.

 NOTICE: if a backed battery is present, it saved at current game folder
 with the same name of game loaded (filename), with the .SAV extension.

=============================================================================

THIS README WILL BE IMPROVED SOON...
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST RELEASE... :-)
