Xanadu!

WHAT IS XANADU
Xanadu is an Intellivision emulator which includes multiplayer support 
via Kaillera.  Xanadu is a complete C++ rewrite of the emulation core 
contained in the Bliss Intellivision emulator.


WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO USE XANADU
Just as with Bliss, you’ll need some ROM images to play games.

1) You’ll need images of the two ROM chips that were in the original 
   Intellivision.  These files must be renamed to be “exec.bin” and 
   “grom.bin” and they must be placed in the same directory as the 
   Xanadu emulator.
2) If you wish to play ECS games, you’ll also need the ECS ROM image 
   and you must rename this file to be “ecs.bin” and place it in the 
   same directory as the Xanadu emulator.
3) If you wish to hear the Intellivoice in the games which supported 
   it, you’ll also need the Intellivoice ROM image and you must rename 
   this file to be “ivoice.bin” and place it in the same directory as 
   the Xanadu emulator.
4) Finally, you’ll need some images of some cartridge ROMs.  The names 
of these do not matter as you’ll specify the filename on the command 
line.  However, if you wish to play games over Kaillera, the files 
must be in the “roms” subdirectory beneath wherever Xanadu is 
installed.  Note that the current release of Xanadu does not include 
support for ZIP files, so you must extract any Intellivision ROM 
files you do have from their ZIP files.


HOW DO I RUN IT
If you simply want to play multiplayer games over Kaillera, you must 
first have the games installed in your “roms” directory, then just 
launch Xanadu by double-clicking on the Xanadu.exe executable.  The 
Kaillera user interface will appear to allow you to create and join 
multiplayer Intellivision games in Xanadu.

If you wish to play a single-player game, open a command prompt, change 
to the directory where Xanadu is installed, and use the following 
command line.

    Xanadu <cart_filename>

For example, if you have the BurgerTime! ROM in a file named  
“brgrtime.bin” in the directory where Xanadu is installed, then to play 
this game, you would only need to type the following.

    Xanadu brgrtime.bin


HOW DO I PLAY THE GAMES
Because there is currently no front-end user interface to reconfigure 
the controls to your liking, Xanadu only supports the following keys on 
the keyboard for control.

    ESCAPE         Exit the current game
    0-9            Intellivision Keypad
    DELETE         Clear
    ENTER          Enter
    CTRL           Top Action Buttons
    Z              Bottom Left Action Button
    X              Bottom Right Action Button
    ARROW KEYS     Disc Pad
