This doc only houses the Acorn specific help -> read the General text file for more generic
documentation.

What's New ?
------------
* New icons thanks to Nick Wright!
* No specific RISC OS stuff (again)
* The main internal changes revolve around speed - most games should be fast enough now.
* Alos Sonic & Metal Slug 2 are fully playable!!!!

What is NeoPocott ?
-------------------
It's a Neo Geo Pocket & Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator.

How do I use it ?
-----------------
For a start you need to have a reasonably fast machine, and an Acorn (or equivalent) machine
that can display 256 colour mode with definable colours. Ie Risc PC, A7000, RiscStation,...
You will really neeed a StrongARM powered machine for acceptable speed -> as this emulator 
hasn't reached the stage of getting major optimzations... compatibility is the goal atm. Also 
you will need at least 18MB of free RAM (high I know... but it will decrease soon)

If you have a machine that fits these requiremnts we can begin... file type any roms you may 
have to NGPC (&0d2). Then just double click on it et voila on working emulator.

What are the keys ?
-------------------
Movement -> Cursor Keys
Button A -> Ctrl
Button B -> Alt
Option -> Space

Others...

Change language -> F1
Change colour mode -> F2
Reset -> F5
Show version -> F8

What's included
---------------

If you look within the app there is an Extras directory inside that you will find a demo rom called NeoNeo and a compatibility list for 0.35. There is more
up to date compatibility info the official site.

Command line options
--------------------

You can alter the !Boot/!Run files if you so desire...

After the rom file there are various options you can add :

-colour -> start up in colour mode (default)
-mono -> start up in mono mode
-eng -> use english language in games that support it (default)
-jp -> use japanese
-autoa -> autofire A button
-autob -> autofire B button

Known problems/omissions
------------------------
Compatibility is improving... 

Check the compatability list 

There is no frontend... I hate coding frontends -> it will be done soon

No sound -> there won't be for a while, compatibility is more important (also speed will drop 
when it is implemented as it is another cpu)

No graphical nicities... blur, eagle, whatever... - will be added in due course


Who I would like to acknowledge ?
---------------------------------
Gollum for being very helpful with getting this emulator up and running on the Acorn platform.
All the other guys involved with NeoPocott.
SNK for dropping out of Europe and the US (cheers guys). At least we'll get the Colour 
Wonderswan...
