    DEmul 0.1 - Sega Dreamcast Emulator for Windows
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Introduction
    --------------

    Hello from Russia!
    We are very proud to introduce you new DC emulator DEmul! We have been trying
    to write new emulator that will be able to run commercial games since first
    and only real DC emulator Chankast so far is stopped to develop.
    Emulator is able to run most commercial releases by various groups all along
    with homebrew demos and free software.
    
    Features
    --------

    • No open-source for this time, sorry...
    • Plugin system for GPU and peripherals (SDK and docs will be available later)
    • SH4 Dynarec (fast and furious) and Interpreter (more accurate and compatible) modes
    • MMU support (for Interpreter mode), Exceptions and Interrupts emulation
    • Sound support (still imperfect)
    • Four input ports up to 5 devices each
    • DC Keyboard support
    • Standard/VGA video modes
    • TPU speed adjusting
    • VMS manager
    • Savestate support up to 10 slots (about 2-15Mb in size each)
    • Original BIOS and Flash files needed (not included in release)

    System Requirements
    -------------------
    
    • Pentium class processor with MMX instruction (theoretically ;))
    • SSE CPUs preferred
    • DirectX 7.0 or OpenGL 1.4 compatible 3D accelerator video card
    • DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card

    Default plugins
    ---------------
    
    GPU Plugins
    GPUDX    - DirectX 7.0 required, base features, no special effects, no framebuffer rendering, fast,
               PNG and JPG screenshots ability, graphics on some NVIDIA carts looks better.
    GPUOGL   - OpenGL 1.4 required, advanced functions, framebuffer rendering, renter-to-texture feature,
               PNG and JPG screenshots ability, 2xSai texture filtering, better for ATI carts.
    GDR Plugins
    GDRDemul - Base GD-ROM with CD-ROM iocontrol support, CDDA supported in RAW binary mode.
    GDRImage - Base GD-ROM with CD-ROM Images support, able to load CDI (DiscJuggler, full support),
               CCD/IMG (CloneCD), MDS/MDF (Alcohol) formats, NGR (Nero) still not working, CDDA support,
               disk change ability, load/unload.

    PADDemul - Four input ports, keyboard supported, DirectInput 8.0 required.
    Sound Plugins

    Functional Keys
    ---------------
    
    F5 - Save state to current slot
    F6 - Change current savestate slot
    F7 - Load state from current slot
    F8 - Fullscreen mode
    F9 - Screenshot    
    
    Some notes
    ----------

    Emulator and plugins still imperfect, need more accurate timings and interrupt latency emulation,
    there are probably many bugs still inside, need more time and debugging to make perfect compatibility.
    WinCE still unsupported, it is a big pain in ass, so for this time not working.
    
    • Do not ask for BIOS and FLASH, use your own files, dumped from DC console. ;)
    • Bug tracking and feedback will be available later, this is our first release, so be patient.
    • Do not send us screenshots with bugs, just report about it.
    • If you want to report about bug, try to call your System specifications, driver version and CRC of
      main game executable you using (1ST_READ.BIN mostly), release group, package and region version of a game.
