Usage
=====
From a DOS Console Box type

  FunnyMu [rom file] (CART.ROM is used in case rom file is not specified)

FunnyMu looks for configuration file "FunnyMu.ini" which contains settings
regarding paths where creatiVision/FunVision BIOSes, and game ROMs are stored.
These are usually:
BIOS/bios.rom   (Funvision/Rameses BIOS)
BIOS/bioscv.rom (creatiVision/Wizzard hacked BIOS, showing creatiVision logo)
ROMS/#?.bin     (store ROM files here with .bin extension)

FunnyMu both supports game ROMs and the BASIC program ROM. RESET button is
used to go into "game select" mode or to "stop" the execution of a BASIC
program.

When in "game select" mode, choose game mode by pressing either joystick
buttons, then start game by pressing any "a" to "z" key.

When emulating any BASIC ROM, press F5 to save current listing into plain text
file in the same folder as the emulator executable. A file is generated with
the name of "save001.txt", next is "save002.txt", etc.

You can load BASIC listings in plain text file format into the emulated ROM,
by pressing F7. File must be in the same folder as the emulator executable,
and name must be "load.txt".

Changelog
=========
 0.48 unofficial
 * fixed bug in audio emulation, thanks to Paul Hayter's fix from the private
   unreleased FunnyMu 0.44
 * minor cleaning to source code

 0.47 unofficial
 * added cart loading routine to support 32 KBytes ROMs (new special format
   used on ROMs included in the creatiVision Multicart)
 * added option to save screenshots in BMP format (press F12)
 * fixed screen resolution to a true 256*192 pixels (removed black borders)
 * added option to load BASIC listings from plain text file, named "load.txt",
   into emulated BASIC program (press F7)
 * added option to save BASIC listings into plain text file from emulated
   BASIC program, named "savexxx.txt" (press F5) (Courtesy of Giovanni Ortu)

 0.46 unofficial
 * fixed problem with transparent colour in VDP palette. Tank Attack still
   has problems with it, but I suspect it's probably due to some problem in
   some other part of VDP emulation
 * fixed mathematics bug in 6502 emulation. Mouse Puzzle and Police Jump now
   work fine with correct "bonus score" counter

 0.45 unofficial
 * changed cart loading routine in order to have full compatibility with
   "creatiVision Basic 1982" (3*4=12 KBytes ROM)
 * changed cart loading routine in order to have full compatibility with
   "Werben ++++ Informieren" (8+2=10 KBytes ROM)
 * fixed bug in 10 KBytes cart loading routine

 0.44 unofficial
 * fixed cart loading routines in order to have full compatibility with 6, 10,
   12, 16 and 18 KBytes ROMs
 * changed most boot messages to match the new cart loading routines
 * fixed colours palette to match the (much more realistic) one in MAME
 * disabled debugger (F1 key no longer stops emulation)
 * changed keymapping to match MAME standard (F3=reset, ESC=exit, etc.)
 * added keymapping for right joystick
 * fixed error in keymapping of "-" key
 * added full colour icon
 * changed HELP option to match the new options and keymapping
 * now distributed with SDL 1.2.11, providing *great* sound playback!
 * added save/load settings to FunnyMu.ini config file (thanks to iAN_CooG)
 * BIOS file can be selected by editing the FunnyMu.ini file
 * cleaned up code a bit




Known bugs
==========
 * there's a problem with background colour setting. It should depend on
   VDP register 7, but it doesn't work properly. I fixed it partially, but
   Tank Attack isn't fixed yet
 * text is uncorrectly rendered (misplaced) in Air/Sea Battle and Police
   Jump though this doesn't affect playability
 * all bugs listed above were already present in the official versions of
   FunnyMu, or at least I discovered them while testing version 0.44. My "to
   do" list includes a full debugging of the TMS9928 emulation routines
 * sound might not work properly on the Amiga port.
