About
-----
This is a quick windows port of PicoDrive, a Megadrive / Genesis emulator for
handheld devices. It was originally coded having ARM CPU based devices in mind
(most work was done on GP2X version), but there is also a PSP port.
The reason I'm sometimes doing windows versions is to show certain emulation
possibilities, first release was to demonstrate SVP emulation (Virtua Racing),
later Pico toy and X-Men 32X prototype. It is not to compete with other
emulators like Kega Fusion and the likes.

Vast majority of code written by notaz (notasasatgmailcom).
A lot of work on making SVP emulation happen was done by Tasco Deluxe, my
stuff is a continuation of his. Pierpaolo Prazzoli's information and his
SSP1610 disassembler in MAME code helped a lot too.
The original PicoDrive was written by fDave from finalburn.com
This PicoDrive version uses bits and pieces of from other projects:
68k: FAME/C core, by Chui and Stéphane Dallongeville (as C68K).
z80: CZ80 by Stéphane Dallongeville and modified by NJ.
YM2612, SN76496 and SH2 cores: MAME devs.

Greets to all the sceners and emu authors out there!
