Amiga v2600 Readme
==================
Virtual 2600 is (C) 1996 Alex Hornby and others under the GNU general
public license.  Thanks to the FWF and X64 teams for making their work
available under the GPL.

Amiga v2600 version 0.5 by Matthew Stroup.


Requirements:
Any AGA Amiga
Fast RAM and 060 recommended


When I saw that the v2600 code was available to be ported, I thought it
would be a challenging project.  So a week later, here is the beta version.
It runs awfully slow on my 50MHz 68030.  Probably runs at full speed on a
50MHz 060, though!  This is just beta software, both my code and Alex
Hornby's code.  Later versions will probably be faster, and I will be
implementing the sound later as well.  I'm using a chunky to planar
conversion by an unknown author that I found on Aminet.  Amiga v2600 was
compiled using SAS/C 6.57.  All source for the Amiga version is included,
as per the GNU public license.  To get the original source code, or source
code for the other versions, check the Virtual 2600 home page at:
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/ahornby/v2600.html.

To compile this code for yourself, if you so desire, type:
execute make

Don't e-mail me asking for ROMs, because I won't give them to you.  Anyone
who can use Alta Vista can find them.  I highly recommend only getting the
ROMs that you actually own.  If you have any comments or suggestions,
please send me e-mail at:  stroupm@inreach.com.  I'll try to get back to
you as soon as possible.  If you run this on an 040 or 060, I'd like to
hear how it runs.  Enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTE!
If a game doesn't seem to be working, most likely your memory is getting
trashed.  This is apparently caused by faulty bank switching, which has
been noted by the author.  I have not, however, had any Enforcer hits.  It
would be a good idea, though, to reset your Amiga after using v2600.
You've been warned!  ;^)
