2. Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful world of emulation. SNEmul is a Super Nintendo emulator. That means that this software is (in theory ;) able to run rom dumps of SNES softwares on your PC. As SNEmul is in a middle stage of development, don't expect all your roms running with it. The reason we make this release is to have bugs/failures/success reports. If you want to help, then experience it, and give us a feedback.
Our first goal was to make a solid 65c816 cpu emulation. Sound is also implemented but still lacks some DSP fx like echo-fx. In the future, perfect sound and transparence effects will be supported. We are working every days on SNEmul and it becomes more stable and faster weeks after weeks, so expect it to reach the achievement of leading emulators very soon.
3. Installation and usage
For the DOS version, Unzip all the files in the directory of your choise and just type "SNEMUL romfile" to start. You'll need to start SNEmul in its own directory, ortherwise it will crash because of missing files.
To install the Linux version, just un-gzip-tar the archive in your home directory and run it as root (SNEmul needs to have superuser privileges to switch graphic modes). NOTE: you don't need anymore the liblge.so file since it is now staticaly linked into the binary.
4. Misc
We, Archeide and v0x, expect feedback from you. Send us a mail even if you likes/dislikes it; it shows us that people are trying our emulator, and we don't work only for us...
