PocketNES v9.9
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

It's a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator for the GameBoy Advance. 
But you already knew that, didn't you?

Getting Started
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Before you can use PocketNES, you need to add some NES roms to the emulator.
You can do this with various tools (Thingy, NEStoGBA, etc.) found at
http://www.pocketnes.org/downloads.html.  Older tools (made for v7a) should
work fine, as long as you don't use any "SRAM slot" settings, as they aren't
needed anymore.

Controls
-=-=-=-=

Menu navigation:  Press L+R to open the menu, A to choose, B (or L+R again)
to cancel.

Unscaled modes:  L and R buttons scroll the screen up and down.

Scaled modes:  Press L+SELECT to adjust the background.

Speed modes:  L+START switches between throttled/unthrottled/slomo mode.

Quick load:  R+START loads the last savestate of the current rom.

Quick save:  R+SELECT saves to the last savestate of the current rom (or makes
a new one if none exist).

Sleep:  START+SELECT wakes up from sleep mode (activated from menu or 5
minutes of inactivity)

Other Stuff
-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Link transfer:  Sends PocketNES to another GBA.  The other GBA must be in
  multiboot receive mode (no cartridge inserted, powered on and waiting with
  the "GAME BOY" logo displayed).  Only one game can be sent at a time, and
  only if it's small enough to send (approx. 190kB or less). A game can only
  be sent to 1 (one) Gameboy at a time, disconnect all other gameboys during
  transfer.

Multi player link play:  Go to the menu and change Controller: to read
  "Link2P"/"Link3P"/"Link4P", depending on how many Gameboys you will use.
  Once this is done on all GBAs, leave the menu on all slaves first, then
  the master, the game will restart and you can begin playing.
  If the link is lost (cable is pulled out, or a GBA is restarted),
  link must be re-initiated, this is done by a restart on the master and
  then selecting the appropriate link and leave the menu. The slaves doesn't
  have to do anything.

Use an original Nintendo cable!

PogoNES: If you wish to use PocketNES with Pogoshell
  just rename pocketnes.gba to nes.bin

GameBoy Player:
To be able to check for the GameBoy Player one must display the GameBoy Player
logo, the easiest way to get it is by downloading it from my homepage.
Otherwise you can rip it from any other game that displays it (SMA4 & Pokemon Pinball).
There is no actuall use for it yet, but the check is there and I would appreciate
if people could test it on their GameBoy Players, it says in the menu
"PocketNES v9.9 on GBP".

Supports Mapper:
0,1,2,3,4,5,7,9,11,15,16,17,18,19,21,23,25,32,33,34,64,65,66,67,68,69,
70,71,72,73,75,76,78,79,80,86,87,92,93,94,97,99,105,151,152,180,228,232
Just because PocketNES supports a mapper doesn't mean all games using that
mapper works correctly.
