****************************************** MAMECE3 for H/PC2000 Based on the MAMECE3 9.3: TechMaster English Readme.txt Davis Joshua Translated by Randy ****************************************** Ver.1.0 14.Oct.2002 Ver.1.1 17.Feb.2003 Ver.1.2 25.Feb.2003 English Readme.txt 6.Dec.2003 ****************************************** This is a port of the M.A.M.E. arcade game emulator ported to work on the H/PC2000. The port is from MAMECE3 v9.3 by TechMaster. This emulator can run some games, such as Ikari Warrior, that will not run on the original. I've tested it on a MobileGearRC550 (the Japanese version of the MobilePro790), which has a MIPS CPU. It might be able to with on the Sigmarion2 or Jornada7xx (ARM CPU). * Installation instructions: Copy a CAB file which is appropriate for your CPU, and run it. The program uses 12MB (MIPS version) of memory. Two binaries will appear, MAMECE Red Label, and MAMECE Blue Label. They are the same program, the difference being that the Red Label is for loading games whose maker starts with the letters A through M. The Blue Label is for opening files with maker names N through Z. I don't know why it is done this way. Place your zipped ROM files in the following directories: \your mame folder\Roms \memory card\your mame folder\Roms \memory card2\your mame folder\Roms \custom memory\your mame folder\Roms \memory card\Roms\MAME \memory card2\Roms\MAME The key assignments for Street Fighter 2 type games that require six buttons are set to "A, S, D, , Z, and X." The function keys are enabled. * Known Bugs * Some games are very slow. I'm trying my best to improve the speed at which the emulator runs them. * "Enable Sound" causes the emulator to slow down greatly. * The FPS display is buggy. I feel that 50% of the shown speed is accurate. * Some lines on the screen are invisible. * The original MAMECE3 by TechMaster is bases on MAME36 Final. Please use ROMs that are compatible with that version. * Don't mind the error message when you load a zipped ROM. Some games are compressed after loading successfully. Most larger ROMs are compressed. * Some keys don't work perfectly (A + Down + Left for example). You can use the key to change the keymap. * TODO Fix program so DARIUS can run on the HalfVGA screen. * Version History 1.2 MC68000 emulation core fixed. A lot of games for the MC68000 CPU will will now work (i.e.: Hang-On, Salamander, Atomic Runner Chernov, TerraCresta). 1.1 ARM CPU only. Bug fix (Red and Blue were the same binary). 1.0 Initial release. * Limitations I don't know when MAMECE3 for H/PC2000 will be compressed to use up less memory. Use it at your own risk. Please remember to keep a backup of your machine. I assume no responsibility for any damage caused by this software. Don't ask the MAME development team or Mr. TechMaster questions about MAMECE3 for H/PC2000. Never trouble them. This program is only for playing ROMs of games you legally own. It is illegal to play ROMs you do not legally own. This program is not intended to help crimes. Edward Randy randy3@mail.goo.ne.jp
