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

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

Hello from Russia!
We are very proud to introduce you new DC emulator DEmul! We has 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 ans 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 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 lokks better.
GPUOGL - OpenGL 1.4 required, advanced functions, framebuffer rendering, renter-to-texture reature,
PNG and JPG screnshot ability, 2xSai texture filtering, better for ATI carts.

---------------

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 is 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 execulatble you using (1ST_READ.BIN mostly), release group, package and region version of a game.
