What is it?
-----------

The Genie is a replacement Neo-Geo.rom (bios)

It can cheat all existing games via a code.

It runs also all games in your Language (English or Japanese - you choose via menu )


How do I use it?
----------------

Press A,B,C,D simultaneously to access the menu system.

(DO NOT CONFIG YOUR KEYS ON ALT, TAB , CABS / SHIFT !! - A S D F is good !)

Anyone who is familiar with the Game Wizard for DOS or other such
memory editors will be familiar with this concept.

For example, to get infinite lives, (say you have 3 lives),
then search for value 0003, go back to the game, decrease a life.
Enter the Genie again, and it should provide the potential location.
You may have to experiment to find the appropriate memory location.
Remember, this is still a beta!

The format is xxxxyyyy , where xxxx is the location in memory,
and yyyy is the value being set.

Another example, in 2020 Baseball, there's a timer counting down
when you select your team, to maximize it, enter code: 5ba40040

Why does someone use a trainer?
-------------------------------

For most people, it is because there just isn't enough time in the day
to play your favourite games for hours upon hours.
Some would prefer to enjoy the NeoGeo graphics in later stages of
the game without getting frustrated.

However, the main reason the Genie was created was to aid in finding
bugs in the NeoGeo emulators.

ToDo:
-----

Better timing for the Joystick Input .. sometimes he doesn't mention that a button was pushed


Comment:
--------

When you enter a code and press the B button wait only 1 or 2 seconds for the text 
"PASS 1 COMPLETE" ... if it's not apearing .. press B again .. sometimes he forgets
the pressing of a button ... i must rework my Joy input routine :(

In some games .. like NAM 1975 the game prints graphics into my menu .. at the moment
i have NO IDEA why this happens .... an IRQ is an IRQ is an IRQ ... and nothing else !
