RETROARCH 0.9.7 - LIBRETRO CORES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RetroArch is a multi-system emulator supporting many emulators/games.

Here is a quick rundown of the emulator cores bundled with the console
releases and some additional info you need to know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation about RetroConsole Level
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some emulators/games require higher system specs than others.

For the console ports, we have come up with a grading system called
'RetroConsole Level'. Each console port of RetroArch is assigned a grade:

SYSTEM           RETROCONSOLE LEVEL
Wii              1
Xbox 1           1
PlayStation3     2
Xbox 360         2

Each libretro core is also assigned a grade. If the Retro Console level
of RetroArch on your system is lower than that of the libretro port, you
might not be able to achieve fullspeed in most cases.

In the future, RetroArch will (optionally) warn you about this when 
you start a game.

and hold START + SELECT + L + R.

not al of the bigger Neo-Geo ROMs can be played.

We estimate that ROM zips up to about 23MB will load ith FBA Cores
Neo Geo. If it is any bigger,it most likely will not work.

We might investigate virtual memory in a later release to get around
this.

RetroConsole Level: 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO PLAY SEGA CD/MEGA CD GAMES: You need to have three BIOS files in RetroArch's
'system' directory. If you are missing any of these (required) files, Sega CD
games will not work.

bios_CD_E.bin - for European games
bios_CD_U.bin - for North-American games
bios_CD_J.bin - for Japanese games

To load a Sega CD game, load up the .cue/.CUE file, and NOT the .bin/.iso file.

Prboom
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Libretro port is: A Doom engine.
Original author(s): id Software, Various
Plays: Doom 1, Doom 2, Ultimate Doom, etc.
Compatible with: RetroArch PS3, RetroArch 360, RetroArch Wii, RetroArch Xbox1
RetroConsole Level: 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO PLAY DOOM WADS: You need to have the file 'prboom.wad' in the same 
directory as where you are loading your Doom WAD file from. If you don't have
this file, the Doom WAD will not work.


WARNING(S):
- Settings will not be saved right now on Xbox 1 and Xbox 360. This will be
fixed.
- Savestates will currently not work properly on Xbox 1 and Xbox 360. This
will be fixed.
- Loading another WAD file after the first one will either exit RetroArch
or crash it. So, always restart RetroArch instead for now if you want to load
a new Doom WAD.

TIP: You can bump the framerate up to 50/60fps by going to the Settings
screen, and then to 'Setup'. Doom originally ran at a 35Hz timer for
performance reasons and the slow CPUs available at the time.

TIP: Prboom supports MP3 soundtrack files. The files must be in the same
directory as the WAD file and should be correctly named.

At the end of this document you will find a Prboom soundtrack list - so
that you know which MP3 files you can set.

NOTE: Because Wonderswan has a 75Hz refresh rate, V-sync is specifically
disabled for this core so that the framerate and sound is as it should be - 
that's why you might notice some negligible tearing.

WARNING: On Xbox 360, the sound is a bit distorted. This will be fixed.
