NeoPocott v0.38b DOS/Linux console ports
maintained by anarko <anarko@telia.com>

This is the DOS/Linux ports of NeoPocott, and emulation-wise
it is identical to the orginal (Win32)
version, made by Gollum <julien.frelat@libertysurf.fr>

The official homepage for these ports exists here:
http://emu5ever.emulationworld.com/neopocott.html

The DOS/Linux ports are written using gcc and Allegro,
This is binary-only releases, the sourcecode is not
available at all. This is not my decision, but the
orginal author's (Gollum).
However, the program is absolutley free of use, and
you are encouraged to save your money for something
else than paying us off, since we're after all doing
this for fun :-)


Note about snapshots
--------------------
Snapshots is saved in snap/ directory, which must exist
or the program will behave strange. 1 snapshot per
game, snapshot name is made up from the rom filename,
but with the .cot extension. The snapshots is 100%
compatible with all other ports of Neopocott built
from the same version.


Emulator Controls
-----------------
Arrows   Take a guess
Z        A Button
X        B Button
TAB      OPTION
(the above buttons is configurable in ngpcott.cfg)

Gray +   Increase emulation speed
Gray -   Decrease emulation speed

F2       Save snapshot
F3       Load snapshot
F10      Pause emulation
F11      Hardware reset
F12      Save screenshot



Debugger
--------
To access the debugger you'll need to start the program with the -d
parameter as 2nd argument:

 neo demo.ngp -d

Now you'll be in a very early & feature-incomplete debugger.
 F5 - Run until breakpoint
 F6 - Run until ESC is pressed
 F8 - Run 1 instruction
 F10 - Create breakpoint
 F12 - Take screenshot
 ESC - Exit

Hope you can use it.
