1. INTRODUCTION

  software on many different platforms including Windows, MacOS, Unix, MSDOS, 
  AmigaOS, etc. See http://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/ for further informations.

  PSPMSX is a port on PSP of the version 2.7.0.40 of fMSX-SDL from Vincent van Dam.

  Thanks to Danzel and Jeff Chen for their virtual keyboard,
  and to all PSPSDK developpers.

4. LOADING MSX ROM FILES
   ------------

  If you want to load rom image in your emulator, you have to put your rom file
  (with .zip, .rom, .mx1 or .mx2 file extension) on your PSP memory stick in the
  'roms' directory.

  Then, while inside PSPMSX emulator, just press SELECT to enter in 
  the emulator main menu, and then using the file selector choose one 
  rom file to load in your emulator.

  Back to the emulator window, the rom should stard automatically.

  (NOTE): To eject a ROM choose "Eject Rom" inside the emulator menu.

5. LOADING DISK FILES
   ------------

  If you want to load disk image in the virtual drive A or B of your emulator,
  you have to put your disk file (with .dsk file extension) on your PSP
  memory stick in the 'disk' directory. You proceed as previously described
  for ROM files, and your disk is then inserted in the drive 'A' of your
  emulator.

  To start your disk, you have to choose the "Reset MSX" option and back to 
  the emulator window, the MSX should reboot and stard your disk automatically.

  (NOTE): you must eject any present rom before starting a disk, or only the 
  ROM will start instead of your disk image.
  

6. LOADING KEY MAPPING FILES
   ------------

  For given games, the default keyboard mapping between PSP Keys and
  MSX keys, is not suitable, and the game can't be played on PSPMSX.

  To overcome the issue, you can write your own mapping file. Using notepad for
  example you can edit a file with the .kbd extension and put it in the kbd 
  directory.

  For the exact syntax of those mapping files, have a look on sample files already
  presents in the kbd directory (default.kbd etc ...).

  After writting such keyboard mapping file, you can load them using the main menu
  inside the emulator.

  If the keyboard filename is the same as the rom filename (.zip etc ...)
  then when you load this rom, the corresponding keyboard file is automatically 
  loaded !

  You can now use the Keyboard menu and edit, load and save your
  keyboard mapping files inside the emulator. The Save option save the .kbd
  file in the kbd directory using the "Game Name" as filename. The game name
  is displayed on the right corner in the emulator menu.

7. COMPILATION
   ------------

  It has been developped under Linux using gcc with PSPSDK. 
  To rebuild the homebrew run the Makefile in the src archive.
