4. LOADING ATARI ROM FILES
   ------------

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

  Then, while inside PSPATARI 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) In the main emulator window you can only load Atari 800 roms ... If you 
  want to load 5200 roms, please use the "Original" Atari800 menu (the yellow 
  option in the emulator menu).


5. LOADING KEY MAPPING FILES
   ------------

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

  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.

6. COMPILATION
   ------------

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